Dear NJ. B. Friends:
The poem above reminds me Of "Spring
Song, it has SO joyous ring. 1t gives a
| definite purpose to life, and mai es US fee
there is something in the world for US to
do. We need little stirring up once in a
while. We get into groove, and forget
that life has great possibilities and oppor-
tunities; we forget that some one needs a
word of encouragement we can give; we
| forget to reach out beyond the daily
| boundary of our own existence and lend a
| helping hand.
| The views we each take OF life are so
different. Some are satisfied with so little,
and some demand so much! This individu
atty, which stamps each person not only
with his own particular features and form,
but gives his mind and thoughts their
particular bent, makes each self" unlike
every other; therefore no two persons use
the same standard OF judgment.
AUNT Emma" will be surprised, per hap s,
to know that on the back OF one of the
clippings she sent me, was part of an arti
Gle entitled 1.-THE Best Way, and he idea
were so good l want to quote them right
here, although the piece was not all on tue
clipping:
There is best way OF doing everything, OF
carving joint, or sw"t ping "A room or holding
plow, or keeping books. The educated man
or woman IS the one who does the things he or
she has to do in the best way, without waste of
time or force"
Int there a whole sermon for us O
study out and make the best application,
each one for himse I?
The strong point in the sermon is to
do what ever work we have to do in "the
best way vii bout waste of time or force"
Why, 1t see ms to me that would be study
enough for lifetime. | wish some of you
would think this out, mo waste of time
Or force" l am willing TO admit that /
should fail of that.
Many of you will remember that in
he earlier days of our column we had an
especially good helper in "A" whenever
we took up anything in literature. 1t
gave me much pleasure, aud seemed like
hearing from IN old friend, to receive the
following quotations from her pen. Al
though she has changed her place OF
residence, am glad she has not forgotten
US, and hope the names of the authors
Of these sayings will be looked up and
forwa ded to the column:
Early to bed and early to rise is one of
Benjamin Franklins maxims.
How doth the little busy bee improve each
| sninng hour? This quotation is from one OF
,, the divine songs of Isaac Watts.
