II all who hate would love us
And all our love were true
The stars that swing above rs
Would brighten in the blue.
II cruel words were kisses.
And every SCowl a smile.
A better w0rid than this is
Would hardly he worth V,bf1a


And every Scowl a smile
better world than this is
would hardly be worth while
Then let us look at the bright side
and be careful and content, although
our Affections and trials seem more
than we can bare. And when our
pathway seems the darkest, and the
clouds Of disappointments gather
around us thick and fast, and we
ieel ready to drop giving up all hopes
OF happiness and prosperity. Ii we
would look around us and think OF
others who have passed through deep
err and darker waters of misfortunes
and borne the sorest trials of HAVING
poor health, poverty and privations.
And how often we have seen death
enter homes and take father or moth
en- and in some cases that remember
where both have been taken. LEAVING
little children to fight the battle of
life alone in this cold and wicked
world, to seek friends wherever thew
may be found. This, indeed. would
cause anguish and grief. Then let us
not think of dark clouds that daily
cross our pathway. Trials are only
stepping stones through life and we
should keep them beneath our feet.
And, as Aunt Lizzie says, they must
not be taken up and carried on our
hearts They would crush us to the
earth.
We are enjoying lovely fall weather
as the rest of the season has been.
What could be more delightful. We
have not suffered with intense heat
nor yet smothered in dust. The
rain seem to fall just when it was
needed, and plenty of sunshine to
keep everything growing that was in
need Of sunshine and showers. The
farmers are blessed with good crops
and fair supply of fruit. And as
for Mckinley times | need not say
anything in regard to them for it is
well enough known what he has done
for us. And the dark cloud has
passed over. Let us all do our part
and we will surely prosper. From
the appearance of this vicinity every
one seems very busy preparing for
winter.
