Roswell Davis. Gibson Tenn.-Dear jun
Tor: | admire the Junior department very
much. | am young person just starting
in life and ] often find myself wondering
If we. as young people, see life as IL
really Is. DO you strive 70 make lie
pathway as smooth as we should? The
world is in a constant Sdr one striving
to overcome the other and horde up bags
of this life's goods. Why need we TO
waste our lives in striving for things that
do not concern US? Our motive through
life should be to be happy and make
others happy. Life is short. Man is as
q flower that springeth up in the morning
and III the evening is cut down. Lille Is
too short 20 waste IN ldleness. SO let us
do our whole duty toward our Maker.
God expects great things of us and by
coming UP to God S requirements We thus
attain human happiness. Even though
life is so snort. there is a vast amount 10
be done. The world is the field and we
are the workers. We win all spend eter-
nifty somewhere In compensation of our
actions through life. SO let us every one
so perform our task that we can view IL
with pleasure and not regret. Let duty
be your ever prevailing motto. If you
determine to do your whole duty the
Great Guider will ever lead you with the
finger of His great love unity at last you
will find your cup full to the utmost.
think good correspondents n great help
to any one. so ! Will be glad to hear from
some of the Junior cousins; either sex.
