Dear Aunt Madge.
In your last paper that have, dated April 25,
found this sentence that fitted me SO well l
just dropped my work and found my pen and
ink. Here is my inspiration 1--WE need little
stirring up once In a while"
i should say we did; know do, and have
been shaking in my shoes for sometime. for fear
'Grandma G" would give me a scolding I've
been so neglectful. But indeed really did not
mean to- I've been getting ready to write ever
since Easter. for thought now that is such a
lovely time To write letter. Alasi that day
was so full could not even think. so the days
keep going on, and, all unheeded by me, but II
try again. There is one thing must speak of
because 1t Is something that hear every night
as come home from work. / get about half
way home when high above the noise of the
city din, hear bugle call; family at irst, but
1t grows louder and more clear every moment
and then 1t is Joined by others by that time.
always walk little slower and listen and hear
this air; There's land that is fairer than day"
OF course you can guess what 1t is now-"the
Salvation Army, and do you know they are the
most faithful Of all Christian workers that
know Of? They do not need to be stirred up
no indeedi The most bitter cold nights and
fiercest storms find them always at their post
They are laughed at great deal, but for all that
they keep on, and surely they shall have their
reward.
think that spring has really come to stay.
because my sister has been planting seeds for
over a week. and If they all come up, we shah
have wilderness of flowers; and another
reason is that that same sister Is busy cleaning
house. Why l know she Is cleaning is that all
the furniture seems to be scattered to the four
winds in the hall. parlor and kitchen. She toll
me tonight that tomorrow when l came home
everything would be all nice and in order SO
am living in hopes to be al home tomorrow.
expect all the sisters are into the same bust
ness; hope they have enjoyed it as well as she ;
If so they will get along lovely. for she really
has had good time.
In one of your letters in the column you men
TONED that piece OF prose about the Indians !:
SLOWLY and sadly they climb the distant noun.
tains and read their doom in the setting sum-"
How many, many times I've read 1t in the school
room! always thought it was such lovely
verse. and hoped each time it would be my turn
to read 1t.
