P111.GENO In the time of early Autumn, When the harvest all is gathered, Comes the call of dear old Union To her children far and near,— To her children who have wandered Midst the balmy days of summer From her campus, halls, and classrooms, From her ever-watchful care,— Saying, "Come to me, my children, Cheer my heart with gladsome voices, Come, 'tis time for school again." And the children answer gladly, Answer as they hasten onward— "We are coming, dear old Union, Coming—coming back again To your empty halls and classrooms, To your watchful care again. We have learned to love you dearly, Learned that all your words are wisdom. 1.1es, we're coming, dear old Union, Patience, we will soon be there." 6 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER A Vacation Trip BERT BYRON DAVIS ACATION is over; but memories of it yet linger. Per- haps that is why people take vacations—so they can have pleasant things to recall when the grind of daily work presses heavily upon them. The particular trip of which I am to tell you was an automobile trip from Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and return. The morning of our departure was a cloudy, misty one; but nothing could dampen our enthusiasm as we left with our automo- bile well stocked with provisions for the trip. There were four of us—my sister, her husband, my wife, and I. Ten miles from the city we came to our childhood home. The ruthless hands of strangers have made so many changes about the old homestead that we did not even care to stop. We noted that a few of the old trees were still standing, especially two large black walnut trees now nearly eighty years old. These trees all through our childhood years furnished the canopy to our play houses. Under these trees, too, came in summer the study of the Sabbath school lessons each week. There we learned to love the name of Jesus and to reverence Him. A little farther down the road used to be a creek, spanned by an old wooden bridge. This we crossed each morning on our way to school. Surely this old friend would greet us. But no! The bridge is gone, and the creek, too, for the most part. The state highway commissioner must needs; straighten the road at this point; so now we find a gravel "fill" and a new cement bridge, which in no sense takes the place of the old wooden one of by-gone days. Leaving childhood scenes and memories behind we traveled for many miles over splendidly gravelled highways past prosperous look- ing farm houses. Even though no frost had yet come, the reds and yellows of autumn were beginning to show in the hedgerows and fence corners. In many places sumac, sassafras, and wild grapes were a tangled mass. They formed a pleasant background for the beautiful golden-rod, asters, and other autumn flowers that bedeck the roadside. They also formed a pleasing foreground for the many fields of corn nearly ready for the shocking, and the brown evenly turned furrows of the plowman as he prepared the fields for the fall wheat sowing. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 7 Our course took us the entire length of the state of Indiana. What a splendid state it is! As never before we realized the extent of this great commonwealth. The first night's stop was at the pretty little city of Franklin. A good rest at the hotel made us eager to continue our trip. The next afternoon brought us to New Albany. Ten cents toll for each member of our party and a ride across a very long bridge that spans the Ohio River brought us to Louisville, Kentucky. True to our preconceived notion, one of the first sights to greet us on the Kentucky shore was a picaninny eat- ing watermelon. Later we joined the watermelon-eating army. No, we were not drafted; the service was voluntary. Heavy summer rains in the section of Kentucky lying between Louisville and the Mammoth Cave, had washed away much of the soil surface of the roads, leaving only rock foundation. Five miles per hour was the best speed record that we could make at times. The number of vertical miles we traveled was often greater than the number of horizontal miles. The reader's imagination may fill in the details. Just before reaching the interesting little city of Bards- town there was a stretch of paved pike. The driver gathered unto himself his disjointed upper and lower extremities, while those of the rear seat reassembled themselves, happy to find no parts lost. Bardstown was settled in 1775 by emigrants from Virginia and Pennsylvania. Here lived and now lies burried John Fitch, the in- ventor of the first steamboat. Here, too, is "My Old Kentucky Home." This famous home was the property of Judge John Rowan. Mr. Rowan was noted for his hospitality. His home was the scene of much merriment as well as the place where many national issues were discussed. Presidents of the United States, governors, sena- tors, foreign diplomats and many others were guests in the Rowan home over a long period of years. James Madison, Henry Clay, Prince Louis, and Lafayette were among the guests. Another guest was a cousin of Rowan's—Stephen Collins Foster. It was one day while sitting on the front steps of the old manse, watching a band of slaves being driven along the pike, that Foster conceived the idea of writing that now famous song, "My Old Kentucky Home." Later, after the Judge had been laid to rest in a retired spot on the estate, as Foster stood by the grave one day, he had the inspiration to write "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," Thus to the whole world as well as to the slaves on his own estate Judge Rowan be:.
