l wish we might have more discussion
OF popular books and literary matters in
general Several years ago l reached the
place in my experience where ceased to
recommend a book. for this reason, " ha,

another will say Is not worth spending
time over. So when asked my opinion |
simply say: 81 like it, but don't know as
you would enjoy it,"
/ shall especially remember the thought
OF 1.-The place in our hearts tenanted only
by memory. We all understand what
that means, and every year the number OF
inscriptions sacred to the memory" in
creases. We say SO often: II have lost

closed"-not on a vacant chamber but on
an apartment rich In remem brance OF un-
broken confidence and friendship.
While Flossie has touched upon the past,
] shall have to represent the present SO as
to make a connecting link between the
past and future, for a new friend comes to
US with thoughts for the future.
HOPE.
Life without hope 10 not life. Hope IL ian
anchor of the soul both sure and steadfas,''
entering into that region that Is as yet "within
the veil''. II the cable that links the soul with
hopes anchor be sundered. the veil Is at once an
impossible barrier, and progress beyond I, IL
TO longer possible. life has already ended In
death He who is without hope Is as one with.
out God In the world.
West Trenton. s.
Dear g., your first sentence IL true, for
life without hope is despair, and SO with
hopeful hearts we need to keep the strands
of 1.-THE cal le'' which holds us to hopes
anchor bound closely together with faith
and prayer.
