LESSON FROM LETTER.

Following Is an extract from a let
ter received in this borough. 1t con-
tains a great lesson for all:
stWhat a beautiful picture we have
from our windows. / have Just been
looking out over toward Little Ferry
and Hackensack and on over the hills
and the fields covered with grain and
the blue sky above. 1t certainly Is a
grand picture painted by the Masters
hand belongs to us. | look at
it without saying to myself, 1T is
mine,' and the hymn entitled, The
Child of a King comes in my mind
and | say to myself, He owns 1t and
/ am His child and it belongs to me
also; and at night when | see the
light and the beauty by moonlight ]
go to sleep perfectly satisfied and
4conta~..t IL that 1t is-sn-WhatA beall7
tiful thing 1t is to love and work In
this beautiful world.
81 desire to add to the preceding
what a beautiful thing it is to be able
to speak or write like that, especially
one so young as the writer is. How
few of our young people in these
times stop long enough to reflect on
the natural beauties of this world and
of the great and wonderful benevol-
ence of the Master, our great and
good God and Father. We are all OF
us too apt to look on the dark side.
l must own that the written words
set me to thinking deeply and only
wish that time and space would allow
for the writing of some of the
thoughts that flashed with lightning
rapidly through my mind. Only the
other night Our Dreamer" stood on
his porch gazing at Luna as she
floated in space and exclaimed that
South Amboy certainly had beautiful
moonlight nights and as | looked
from my own porch last night and
saw the same noon floating over the
bay which shimmered and glinted
with her wonderfully beautiful light,
! too, thought how great and Won
derful are Thy works, oh God, and
that there is no place where n gift
ed with sentiment a enjoy the
moonlight more than in this little
town.
