Woman's special work, above all others,
is that good which she can do, that happi-
ness which she can give, by simply being
the gentle, loving creature that God meant
her to be. The ready smile, the CHEEKY
word, the sweet sympathy she can dispense
to those around her. gives courage to many
tagging spirit and comfort to many an
aching heart.
So, when we see woman self-centered,
Indifferent, arrogating to themselves super
iority of position and bank account, possess
ed of the idea that friendliness and ease of
manner is hurtful to this position. etc., and
deluded into thinking that stiffness is dignity,
when we see them niggardly of smiles and
cordial greeting, shrinking from contact of
fellOWmen for fear of social contamination
often wonder if they realize that they are
putting aside the sweetest and noblest work
that God has set for them to do, and that
they are missing the opportunity of doing
the good without which no life grows mellow
or complete.
In recalling to mind the women whose
lives were made lovely by this gentle con-
sideration for others no one stands out more
clearly and beautifully than Mrs. Molly
Moore Davis. Gifted, gracious, gentle, kind,
she unfailingly gave the smile, the cheer,
the uplifting word to great or small, high
or. low. We would all do well to follow this
shining example of noble, beautiful nature,
and to let it check every impulse to be I'M
generous or unmindful of the rights and
feelings of others.
Again the Angel of Death has entered the
home circle of Mrs. C. T. Williams, and
robbed her of loved one, words fail to ex-
press to Mrs. Williams our sorrow and deep
sympathy in this her great bereavement It
seems almost impossible to adjust our living
without DR.. Williams in our midst, for he
was invaluable as businessman, physician
and friend.
His untimely taking off leaves a gap in
many circles, and he will be sadly missed by
the people of this town and the surrounding
country.
The spirit of Santa Claus is abroad, and a
trip to toy land is simply the delicious fore
taste to the delights that Xmas will bring.
The display Of toys, Xmas trees and decor
atoms is fairly dazzling and bewildering and
L4dkeS grown ups WISH Tor chllQhOOd days
again: Santa in an airship is the fantasy of
one of New Orleans great emporiumns, and
although the CHEEKY old Saint looks up to
date and very clipper he does not look nat
ural, for we long for the RENDERS and
sleighbells. So we will none of him as an
aeronaut. The scribe knows some little
children who gather up all toys from the
last Xmas that are still good, redress dolls,
mend furniture and put everything in as
to some little children who would otherwise
go without many Xmas joys. It seems a
good thought and carries out the Sunshine
idea of If you have blessing. pass it on. -
