OUR SHUT-INs. ...
Twas quaint old corner cupboard,
My friend unlocked one day,
Where the choicest bits of china
Were safely laid away.
And / wondered such things of beauty
Were hidden thus from sight,
Things that were surely made
For and delight.
But she said "They are all too precious,
Too fragile for daily use,
Too frail for careless touches.
Too frail for the least abuse;
We can keep them here in safey,
Shut in from the dust and dirst
Shut in from meddlesome fingers,
From aught that can harm or hurt"
''But when on some fatal day,
We bring out the brightest and best,
Then we carefully take them away
And place them among the rest.
And their beauty shines so bright
1t certainly does atone
For all the many days
They are shut in here alone"
Then I thought Of the darkened rooms,
Where many are shut away,
From the pleasures and joys Of earth;
And the cheerful light Of day.
Tho Master may think them too precious
For the crowded walks of life,
SO He keeps them safely hidden
From it's troubles and its strife.
But when, at the feast to come,
He gathers his jewels bright
He'll place them, honored Of all.
Where they'll shine in His glorious light.
Their names he will proudly own
For they've grown in his heart so dear,
Is IL surely not proof Of His love,
His keeping them shut In here?

A Beautiful Thought
Dear Miss Thomas:

Dear MISS IhOmaS.
1t is perfectly natural for us human be-
ings to crave sympathy and rebel or pine for
some things of life and wonder why God 80
afflcts some and others go free. 1 was just
in of these moods yesterday when 1 re-
celved such a bright, cherry letter from a
friend with II came one OF her poems. 1t So
helped me I wish to pass 1t on and hope II
will cheer some shut-in as IL did me. Let us
take lesson from 1t and not complain again.
We cannot know what good we might be doing
though shut in from the world and its pleas
ures. Lovingly,
ANNIE PEAvY.

Dear Miss Thomas: Mayme's letter in regard
to loving a boy her parents don't like attracted
my thought and wish to picture an incident
know to be true. One OF my dearest girl
friends met dazzling young man from Penn
sylVania. She fell in love with him on first
meeting. and he, reaiEing that her father as
quite we'll off. made love to her and planned
an elopement. Her father strenuously object
ing to her keeping his company, they planned
clandestins meetings and arranged for the
elopement. He returned TO Pennsylvania and
on December 20 the dear innocent girl left her
home TO visit relatives in nearby town.
Instead, however, she went to Cincinnati
to meet her lover. They were married in Cow

would take them. When her ready cash WAS
gone he pawned her watch for more. then sho

The opinion is that the fire

is a matter of conjecture.
The court house was originally
a hotel, built in the year of 1887,
and was purchased by the coun-

since that time.
