Roberta Selling. staunton. va.-Dear
Junior: For almost two wears I have
enjoyed reading The Constitution. beng
especially pleased with the Woman's
Kingdom and the Junior Department. The
cousins write such interesting letters. |
hope they are as bright and cheerful In
their homes as when they visit the Jul
Nor page. for ! think nothing is more
agreeable than having bright. contented
people in the house. Disseminated pco-
pie are not only great trials to every
one about thcm, but also to themselves.
I know several girls who have every
thing to make them happy. yet they are
never satisfied. There Is always some
thing wrong. You may fry to please
them but It does little gOod-thcY CON
tinue to find fault. It lies entirely with
ourselves whether we are grumhlers or
not. We must not form this dreadful
habit Int think Of the happiness OF 9th
ers instead OF irving to crafty our own
selfish desires "NOVicc' 7 like your let
ter very much 7 would like to hear from
some one who wishes to employ gov
erness or companion for small children

Tor: How our page is improving! Each
issue presents new writer's and new
ideas for its Improvement. and il this
continues what a useful and interesting
future is dawning upon it, 1t Is now
apparent that the only barrier to be re-
moved is the selection Of proper themes
for discussion. | will just say a few
words on the subject Love" Love is a
passion possessed by all. It is the most
essential part of our makeup, for with
out 1t for man to exist is impossible
Love is pure it is divine. Love is the
language of the soul, and our lives is
the music, so then we should be dOuby
careful now we 1--we that there may be
no diScordant notes. Love is the beacon
light placed by our Creator on the UNI
explored shores of eternity, and Meath
its rays growing brighter as we live
better our life boat is launched upon
the ocean of Time, and meath those
sa me rays we are ushered into Paradise
True love is eternal, to destroy 1t is
impossible, for it is from God Youth
blossoms and fades into old age beauty
smiles and vanshes but love is everlast-
ing. 1t Is the magic word that moves
the universe. IT is the principle upon
which government was founded, is based,
and for which government exists. 1t is
a friendly Guide-post placed upon life's
dusty highway pointing out the path to
heaven. Sermons have been preached.
volumes have been composed on the
mysterious beauty. in describing its mi
raculOus influence, all fall short. Artists
skill IS not great enough to paint it;
canvas Is not broad enough to contain 1t.
Its boundary line is heaven. It's spec
trum consists of eternal bliss, perfect
peace, and harmony Some people pos
sess a greater capacity for loving than
others so our capacity for loving may
be measured by the purity of our lives.
Love and purity so hand in hand, for
love is pure-the flowers blooming in
Eden on the first Sabbath We're never
purer. Love is the mirage of the soul
so brightly mirrored in our everyday
pouring forth from the throne of God.
