My Dear Y’s, — Have you ever visited our House of Representatives in Session? If not, you will have read much about them, and have heard how they hold high revel while waiting for the adjournment of the House. The following account of the close of Congress in U.S.A. is furnished by a correspondent: “Yesterday (March 4th, 1927) was the close of this Congress. The House spent its last few' minutes paying tribute to its leaders. The Republican told how much, respected were their Democratic Colleagues, and the Democrats praised the Republicans. The Navy Band came in and one member, quite a singer, sang: “The End of a Ivrfect Day.” State songs w r ore sung, and and then an old coloured attendant in the barber’s shop was brought in and sang an old coloured or negro spiritual: “Swing 10, sweet Chariot, coming to carry me home.” It was beautiful, and in that spirit the whole assemblage joined in “God be with you till me meet again.” It was a clear demonstration of harmony or good sportsmanship—of broadminded public servants. They fight for their special hobbies, and then are able to be friends when the smoke of legislative battle is over.”
