Dear Junior: 1t has been quite while

with the happy circle of boys and girls.
And now if dear Aunt Susie viii allow
me TO, l Will break the monotony by
writing a few lines. 40 doubt you have

of which soar far into the imperial re-

Junior ! was very much impressed by
the words of 4 young man in Alabama
"a good kind word spoken Will so from
heart TO heart and cause us 10 i've bet
ter lives" How many have noticed these
words and are abiding by them? They
were well spoken. for kindness is great
ruler and has much influence. We can
often cause foe to be a friend By kind,
earnest words spoken truly from the
heart; while on the other hand crue
harsh words are deadly gas that Is often
fatal to friendship. Wounds inflicted by

and is gentle IN mood with pleasant
manners, is loved and respected by all.

our duty, 40 IN our minds we may instiu
good thoughts. We are fair and young,
but the rose viii fade In after years. SO
let us live Christian lives: then we can
reflect on the past, and say / have done
my duty just and right, and am still on
the smooth road To eterna bliss How
happy all should feel who are living
true to homo, true To parents. and above
all things. true to our heavenly Father,
who gave US life ana who can also take
It from us. But there Is one consolation
a brighter home beyond this earthly

and work out for themselves a souls
salvation in His eternal Kingdom.
