To “Wayback Liz.”

Dear ” Way back Liz,” —I am glad of your appreciation concerning my efforts to help roll the old chariot along. L am now sending in a poem on reading books:— If thou art borrowed by a triend Light welcome will he be To read, to study—not to lend, But to return to me. Not that imparted knowledge doth Diminish learning’s store, But books, I find, if often lent. Return to me no more. Now slowly read and often pause. Think much; the book keep clean. And when returned to me let not The folded leaves bo seen. But read this book with earnest prayer That God your sou] may bless With truth and love and make you fit For everlasting rest. —‘ ‘ 5.8.G.,' ’ Palmerston North.
