Dear CD L NJ:
The pre-sunlight awOke ME this a.
m ana | saluted you before my MORN
ing abution with d hearty good morn
ing. After frugal breakfast and a
visit to some outside patients, | called
on Uncle Sam to deliver what had
been entrusted to his care for me, and
straightway his accredited agent de-
Hyered your message; so now | am at
the post prandel end of the feast, and
ready 10 smack my Fps over the flavor
OF your contribution.
Well, this is certainly Gods own
day, perfect in an its appointments,
BETTING the period set apart for man
to think of his Creator and of subjects
above the plain of greed OF gain /
wonder how many OF Ehe little units
OF humanity look beyond the horizon
OF their narrow surroundings, out past
the little rim where sky and earth
teach 10 them, and see the stretching
plains Of Gods domains, who's reach
is the utmost rim of infinite space?
Imagination s one of the greatest
blessings the Infinite has endowed US
with, and only through this have we
been led into the realms of investi-
ga1iCn. We first wonder what things,
phenomena and actions are, than we
let fancy paint the answers there,
then We strive to see and know and
demonstrate the truth.
he rnattainable is put into our
hands fer the time by this necroman-
Ger. We held the scepter Of empire,
we attain the coveted wealth, love is
ours. realms OF beauty are brought
into existence at our fiat, we are he
rOes in battle, writer's OF fiction, ora
tors, statesmen, poets, and what not,
simply at the touch of Fairy Fancy. 1t
Is worth while to be in intimate COM
partnership with her. She is a sweet
friend if we cultivate her, and will WOO
into greater contentment, higher en-
OtiOn, brighter anticipation, and dear
er accord with life, if we WOO her.
You will tell me that she makes
impractical people, visionary beings,
idlers. | will ask you, where have all
the conceptions of the upbuilding of
the race come from save from the so
called dreamers. Who have given the
Inventions, the advances in science,
the reclamation of the earth's barren
places, the advanced methods of COM
batting disease, the discoveries of the
earth's hidden treasures, but the ac-
quaintances of Fairy Fancy? First,
her wh4sperings, then the investiga-
tons, then the discoveries. First,
the dreams, then the waking. Then
the effort, then the taking. This the
ever evoluting. First the seeding. then
the fruiting. Oh, # Fancy were not
with us. Dreams and longings would
be no niShp6 Er-,- orr e. is tho s-,,T1 =

rowed, narrowed
| am called away from this congo
NAL work, to the very prosaic mission
Of listening to the ills of others, so
adieu until tomorrow.
Monday, the 4th.
When I tell you that l came down
from the clouds and the above. and
had for consideration, hemorrhageS, |
neuralgias, sastritis and other itises, ,
You Will say you had higgle-de-pig- !
giedy tine of it. and so ] did But as
the day began well, so it ended we'll. |
After dinner | read until $3.50 O'Clock, !
then the madam and myself went for /
an outing. later taking tea and spend
ing the evening with the son and !
daughter and the grandchildren.
This morning dawned bright and /
cheery. Dame Nature is doing her /
part well. | have inhaled new cour- |
age to meet the battles of the day, and |
prepare for those of the morrow. |
Struggle and try, struggle and try. |
Don't cry, little one, don't cry, seems /
a good motto. Wait. wait, never too
iate! If only it cOmesi If only it !
