Coupland, Texas Dear Haphammcr:
Now ! cant agree with william V. on what
he said about dancing and girls primping.
] am lover of all innocent amusement,
and dancing is certainly nice amuse-
ment aud just as harmless as eating icc
cream. 1t, of course, Ike most everything,
can be carried TOO far but II carried on
nicely is just as harmless as can be. II
healthy and enjoyable amusement makes
one forget our kind Heavenly Father, who
has done SO much for us it shows very
plainly we do not appreciate His kindness,
nor even thought much about Him don't
see how any one can live without being re-
minded hourly OF a kind and loving living
God. II Is He who paints the sunset sky
in all its lovely coors, oh. yes, on every
side in things both great and small we can
see His love. must shout hurrah for VII
lie Powell. He at least appreciates the
noble qualities OF Honest Abe the maa
who served his country SO faithfully, who
oycrcamC so many hUrdships ana mis-
fortunes, who trampled poverty under his
feet aud struggled on until he was presi-
dent, honest and honorable. lie was sol
der grand example for all young men
TO follow. ! DO not consider Lincoln's
greatness by the number of slaves that
won their freedom through his thoughtful
Judgment, but i do consider his greatness
In preserving the constitution Of the United
States, which he did wien te ITeed tnr
negroes. orr constitution says this Is
free and Independent Republic, ana ! am
sure If the negroes mad not nceh Ieeu me
constitution would have been broken
holders for their negroes but they refused
to receive any pay. They wanted TO iight.
Lincoln tried every way TO prevent the war.
We Lincoln Haps do not consider his great
ness by the number of streams he rcdden
ed. or by the number OF battlehcldS ne
thlnned But we do consider his great
ness by the number Of pure, noble and IN
selfish qualities that cluster around MS
name, hy the difficulties he ovcrcame, by
the mlsfortunes and disappointmcnts he
hravely faced. Perhaps Lincoln never won
as many honors on the battlefield ms 9th.
