WHY WE GIVE VALENTINES.

Long ago there lived a priest named Valen-
tine This good man was noted in all the coun-
try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick,
comforted the Borrowing and was always ready
to give help to anyone who was in need. Valen.
tine dearly loved the children and those who
went to him for food or clothes were never turned
away. After this kind priest became too old to
go among his people he was very sad because he
thought he could no longer be of any help to
them. Then he remembered that he could write
loving messages to the sick and sorrowing. Soon
his friends began to watch for the kind words
that were sure to come whenever sorrow or Joy
entered their homes. Even little children would
say when they were SICK II think Father valen-
tine will send me letter to-day"
But after a time no more letters were re.
ceived and soon the news went abroad that good
old Valentine was dead. Then every one said
that such man was good enough to be called
a saint and since then he has been known al St
valentine II was not long until people cele.
brated his birthday by sending loving messages
to their friends. The notes and letters contain.
Ing these messages were called valentines This
all happened years ago. but good st. Valentine
is still remembered on the fourteenth Of each
