WEST ELLSWORTH, Jan.

WEST ELLSWORTH, Jan. II.
Dear Aunt Madge and Sister Mutuais:
This looks like winter. 1 love winter when
the ground is white with snow. Think /
enjoy good old-fashioned snowstorm.
What can be more beautiful than the snow
laden evergreens or the bare branches of the
trees coated with ice and sparkling in the sun?
We all enjoy summer with it's flowers, but
how many of us can thoroughly enjoy the
winter landscapes 1t is all ours to enjoy if
we will; mean, of course, we New England
people and those in the western snowbound
states. We will let Susan have her flowers
and green things and sand storms.
The NJ. B. column grows dearer and more
helpful to me each week. May we each learn
lesson from Uncle Dudley's dogs epitaph,
and apply it to our neighbors and friends
before they leave us never to return-to
"think of their virtues. and all their wrong
ways 10 forgive and forget.
Thank you, Saba, for your selection, what
to Learn" and allow me to add, learn to greet
your enemies, or those you think don't like
you very well. Meet them with bright face
and a cheerful nod of recognition. 1t may do
them good and make them feel that you are
their friend, and it will also do you good.
Thank you. Aunt Madge, for your beautiful
selection in Jan. g. had already made it my
New Years resolve, or the spirit of it, and
find it so helpful to have my purpose ex-
pressed in those beautiful words of the poet.
1t must be the Invisible spirit that runs
through all our lives that helps one to speak
or write words that find an answering echo
in SO many hearts.
Dear E., may the dear Father in whom you
trust, comfort and sustain you in your time of
sorrows.
c., often think-..of you and hope to meet
you at our next reunion, for Of course we are
all looking forward to that glad day, or days
it may be, if Aunt Madge is able to carry out
her suggested plan of more than. one day at
the cottage. My life is full of blessings, just
commonplace, everyday good things and my
heart is full of thankfulness to the dear
Father who supplies all our needs. / find it
sweet to trust Him as the days go by. Love
to all from SISTER B.
We are always glad to hear from you,
Sister B.
