Thread Name: Lyr Add: SONGS About GEOGRAPHY
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: SONGS About GEOGRAPHY
Charlie, a song about Oceans, Seas, Gulfs, Bays, Straits, Channels and Sounds coming up next- out of order in the book, but I have no intention of posting all the jog-free doggerel. There is enough to choke a whole school full of students. Time to put on the nose-bag now; be back later.
Barry, thanks for the jog-free songs and you gave me an idea; I think I will copy only the parts of this book that bear on the sea and coastlines, unless there is something else is requested.

Now that 'Holiday' is fast approaching, here is this book's paragraph on religion. PC ALERT !

RELIGION
1. The prevailing religions of the world, are the Christian, Mohammedan, Pagan and Jewish.
2. Christians are those who believe in Christ as the Saviour of the world. There are three great divisions of Christians, Protestants, Roman Catholics,and the Greek Church; distinguished from each other by peculiar doctrines and modes of worship.
3. Mohammedans believe in Mohammed, an imposter of Arabia, who lived about 600 years after Christ, and pretended to be inspired.
4. Pagans or Heathen are those who believe in false gods, and worship idols.
The Jews are those who believe in the Old Testament, but reject the New, and expect a Saviour yet to come.
