and troubled spirit is at rest, while the

you please open the door and let us four
brothers in to say few words? We live
In the country on the farm. We hoe and
pick berries. Aunt Susie, make them

nice letters There are six brothers of us
and one sister living and one sister dead.
Our papa keeps the postof1ice and store.

Nor: l will take for my subject KIND
ness" How many of us realize the value
of kind words and smiles? They do not
cost anything and yet they are pearls
of greatest price. The boy or girl that
is kind and polite to every one will al
ways be loved Even little children will
love you if you are good and kind to
them, and anything once impressed on
a childs mind viii never be forgotten,
whether it be good or bad. Therefore.
we should be very careful what kind of
Impressions we make. There is nothing
nicer in young folks than their kindness
to old people, and you cant imagine now
much they appreciate It, Time is fieeting
Soon we will reach that stage of life,
and how happy 1t would make us to
know that we were remembered by the
dear young people. so, cousins.
BE kind and gentle to those who are
old,
For kindness is dearer ana better than
gold"

near a bubbling spring of pure water,
and all about stand grim. giant oaks.

why any man can say there is no God.
The natural beauty Of our own Blue
Ridge mountains the beautiful Alps and
the awful grandeur of Niagara show that
masterhand has been painting wonder
tul pictures on the canvas of the world.
Again the heavenly bodies known to lis
as planets, swinging in space, revolving
prove with great force that there is a
supreme Being who rules the universe.
