Altruria, it is said, that when one has a
good thing it should be handed on as a
pleasing gift, so that eventually all the
world becomes possessed of sunshine and
sweetness, To me, who have listened to
the many and varied noises of the great
big city, who have felt that my heart
was beating too rapidly in the effort to
keep up with its energy and be in unison

place that had been made beautiful not
by man, but by God.

strength by the placing of two tablespoon
fuls of grounds at the bottom of the cup.
If sick child longs for glass of milk
the price of the dinner has to be paid and
the getting of the milk is barely hope.
