FOR SHE 'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.
We recommend the following letter to our youthful poets, and hope they will enter for this competition. All replies to be sent to Mrs I.ee-Cowie, Amethyst Hall, Invercargill, by June ;>>th, 1 i)i 5- (Ed. W.R.) (To the Editor). Madam, —Is it not time we had something better than the old taproom chorus to honour our friends with. “lie’s a jolly good fellow” has such low associations, that no minister or Christian worker could possibly feel honoured by having his name linked with it. i will give 5s for the best substitute. The four lines must suit lady or gentleman, singular or plural, and fit in to the old tunc. Here is a sample:— For he is our comrade for ever, Xo parting our friendship can sever. Forget him we’ll never, no never And so say all of us, etc., etc. \ ours for everything that uplifts, B. L. COWIE.
