The Easter season Is now upon us,
and the choils in the Thurmont churches
will soon be busy practising anthems.
We would suggest that to prevent har

they write upon bulletin board in the
church the full word they Intend to

connection, while the choir Is ringing

A little girl of our acquaintance was
asked to write her impressions of grown
up people, and wrote the following
composition, which in our estimation
contains some wisdom for grown people.
SIN the first place they are bigger
and don't climb trees, and they don't
want children to climb trees because
they can't. Then they are not fond Of
donkey rides because there are other
things they like better. They write
books and 60 to meeting, but they wont
let children 20 with them because they
are in the way. They don't always an
swer little folks questions, and then
sometimes thew make us do what ls1 t
right. They don't like US to ride on
donkcys. cause they are afraid of get
ting kicked, but we don't mind it bit,
we think it's lots o fun. They are much
older than children; some are twice as
old. You've got to be twentv-cne be
fore you are grown up. Grown up
children fancy that little children are
naughty, and children think grown up
folks are naughty. Grown up folks
talk about their neighbors and then
tell their children not to tell.
Then there is another difference; they
can skate, that is some can, but some
children can skate too. Then they live
for money, that is some DO, many, not
all, spend it on useful things; aud
children, there is another difference,
grown up people talk all they want to
but when we want to talk, they tell us
" children should be seen and not
heard.'
Then they are fussy about our clothes.
They always want Us to stay dressed up
and keep clean, would lots rather
play in the dirt and be lots happier,
that is sometimes | would.
Bows don't have to wear nice clothes
and keep clean, boys wear pants but
little girls have to wear dresses. |
