John w. Harper. Palestine, Ark-Dear
Junior: I take The Constitution and con-
slider it one of the best weekly news
papers TNlbished In America The Junior
page is improving rapidly at present. l
hcpe to see 1t become the most inter
esting page of this great paper. How
many of the cousins are reading The
Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson,
which is now being published in serial
form in The Constitution? ! am so deep
ly Interested in it that | can hardly wait
for the paper to arrive. Mr., Watson Is
an expert in the art of writing. His pen
pictures are so vivid. his style Is so
easy, his dtction SO precise and his
Thought so profound to make mis-
writing very readable.
Some of the cousins have endeavored
recently TO discuss an important subject
Love I do not think any Of us can
comprehend its full meaning. 1t Is too
high and deep and vast for our finite
minds. There is no other passion OF tle
human soul SO frought with blessings 70
mankind. Love is pure and eternal. II
you once love some one you viii love
that one through time and through all
eternity. You love n person or an object
because that person or that object pos
sesscs some quality worthy OF your love.
Before love can exist there must be
sonnet hing desirable in the object upon
which 1t is centered to arouse it. And
this desirable something must be worthy
of the great passion. We speak of God
love, and mans love, and woman's love
and childrens love. but there is abso-
lQrtely no difference between these, so
far as quality is concerned. The object
or person which or whom you love will
in large measure form Your character
II you love a man you will In some de-
gree shape your life by his life.
Love shall never cease Flowers, trees
animals. men continents. worlds, suns
may dissolve like wax. but love shall be
as eternal as God.
Best wishes to Aunt Susie and the
cousins.
