But take away our pride.
From all that te rror teaches,
From li es of tongue and p e1),
From all the easy speeches

From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sl eep and from damnation,
Delil'er us, good Lord.

January 12.-Pno!i'. VrnA D. Scunrrnn of
'vVellesley College will talk to us on "The
,lloral .Asset of the Class Struggle." It was
Miss Scudder, you will recall, who came out
clearly in sympathy with the strikers at Lawrence at a time when many of us had not yet
made up our minds how to take the I. \,V, W.
That's the way with _Miss Scudder; she sees
farther than most of us-and _sooner;

January 19.-Dn. YA~IEI K1N of China
talks to us on" 71/te Awakening of Clti11a,"
with particular refere11ce, we may assume, to the
extraorclin .;ry !Noman-:Movement that is now
so strong there. Though the first woman of
her race to receive the degree of :M. D. in this
country Dr. Kin has never lost her close touch
and her deep sympathy with her sisrers in the
East. It is very piquant to see her in her
native costume tali, ing in perfect English of
their life and their problems. She is, indeed,·
a fount of first-hand information concerning
~very phase of life in this new Republic of
~~,
the Ea$t.
January 26. - JosEPH FELS, the ardent
Single Taxer, comes to us again, his topic
this ti111e being "Just Ta.\'ation the I.lope of
tl1e 1-Vorld." ivlr. Fels is fresh from England
where a considerable measure of land reforms
has already been instituted and he will doubtless have a good deal to say about Lloyd George
and his policies. But. he is interesting whatever he sayf; you who have heard him before
very well know that.
