Dear II. b. Friends:
OF all the nice things in the above poem
the thought which might be an inspira-
tion to all of US work-s-day, everyday
people is in the third line from the last.
What a missionl To ''giorify the common
life" 1t means more than painting
picture, but 1t will color all our lives with
richer tints than artists bring to view.
The very thought is an inspiration
which viii gladden. many heart and
brighten many home. This must be the
motto of the new year OF NJ. B. which is
just beginning. "a" you have given US
the watchword for it, and my own thanks
give you and many others Will appreciate
IL as well.
BY the way, ii did not occur to me that
we were borrowing word from Oliver
Wendell Holmes when we used the word
"MutnaIs". Why did not some Of you re-
mind as ST it9 He, however, alludes to
societies of Mutual Admiration. He says
''If the Mutuals have really nothing
among them worth admiring, that affairs
the question. But If they are men with
noble powers and qualities, let me tell
you that next to youthful love and family
affection there is no human sentiment
better than that which unites the societies
of Mutual Admiration"
Now am not quoting these sentences
because think IRE are are an NJ. A. So
eiety; we do think s good deal OF each
other, but we try to Benefit rather than
Admire though we do find much to ad-
mire in those we try to benefit. had
rather be beholden to Oliver Wendell
Holmes for title than to many another
