DEAR FHowARD FRIENDs-In my mu-
sings, preparatory to commencing work
on my monthly letter, was puzzled not
a little as to what would be tho most ap-
proDriate subject as basis for my selec-
tions.
From many subjects which have sug-
gested themselves to my mind have Sc
lected one which seems to be pre-emi-
nently appropriate for this particular
time. This subject is the Howard Liter
ary." We, Es members, are looking, or
should be looking, 10 some course by
which 20 promote the interests OF the
club. We, more especially nsw members,
are apt to become addicted TO asking
ourselves questions and permitting them
to remain unanswered. We will, no
doubt, ask such questions as the follow
ing:
us the clubs dimension extensive
enough TO furnish room enough for any
great amount of good 10 be acOomplishedP
"Can do any good for humanity by
allying myself 30 II"
"Are the members accomplishing any
good?"
Let the following extracts suffice 10
answer all such questions:
The object of this club shall be TO estab-
lish socIaoIlity; strengthen good morals
ia society; increase = desire for mind inn
provsment and literary attachments. and
to extend the work of Naturalization
he Constitution.
We are employed In q great and good
work The work that can and may be
done upon our principles will create an
influence that will take hold OF society,
ever spreading and increasing. Let Us
ever keep In mind our grand motto and
the six leading principles or objects, and
the influence we lend will undoubtedly
render many triumphs in the field OF re-
form.-"JOdR.
What great possibilities lie before Us as
a club What good We might dol Shall
we2 Let us try and sec what We can do
individually, and then sum 1t all up as
club work and see what mountain OF
good there has been donO.-"PeGch Bios

Having no salaried officers, our
club offers no selhsh benefits
10 anyone. We ever welcome,
as members, all who truly love truth and
Justice. To our ever increasing hosl OF
worthy friends, far and near, let me say
kindly, entreating, come in" Club OBJ

the proioundest importance 70 mankind.
-"So6citor."
No better agency for developing the fluent
writer can be found than is supplied by
the Howard literary club. which lie fully
cognizant that there can be no more
potent force brought TO bear upon the
masses for the elevation and reformation
of mankind than the pure production of
the ready writer" H0rdrd."
Sociabiltv is one of the greatest features
of our club. Whist can give us more
pleasure in this life than the company OF
our friends. and If we cannot meet them
in person We can have the pleasure OF
meeting them by way of the pen. Isn't
il a great privilege and especially to the
/ helpless invalids who are shut In from
year 10 year.-"3unt Sue."
Honor. love and charity is the tie that
binds us together. May We never
lose sight of the true meaning of
those three words, but put them in daily
practice at home and abroad, thus enab-
/ ling us to live good, true and pure lives.
-"JOhn's UTe.
A mission of love needs no formAlity to
/ prove its devotion 20 q cause worthy OF ali
/ praise. -"Ardnm0re."
Let each member do the good he can in
| his own way, without fear of criticism or
/ wish for praise. Do not think because
/ your work is not mentioned it 70 not mo-
/ ticed. "IncOg."

pires.-"TychO."
There are two ways Of increasing Gocia-

organization OF local clubs and personal

there IL a sufficient number of members q
local club would certainly be desirable

The valuation of club objects" is q
subject OF much importance. and should
receive more than friendly

efforts in promoting mind improvement
and extending the usefulness OF an edu-
cation.-"MielO."
When we come TO consider our III. l. c.
we are not surprised FOR a moment at it's

ardent lonVings for the associations OF tho
pure and good. Mary Of Champaign"
