Deav Aunt Madoe:
To continue our trip, on June ., will say
that was in the observation car most Of the
time, and part Of the time converting with
the conductor Of the train who gave me much
information as well rs relating incidents and
telling interesting stories. We talked about
Indiana, buffaloes and wolves, Of which there
were plenty Of each in this section not many
years ago. Not only was this . good section
for Indisns, but tribes Of different nations or
name met here ON the plains Of this plateau,
which il 5000 feet shove sea-level, and fought
it out for control Of the lands. What q change
in so short time, leaving the white man In

Of the dusky race, and often think that the
remnant Of it must carry In heart sore spot
and wear . downcast countenance.
The said conductor told me how he lost .
young daughter nm account Of meeting . wolf
while driving in . wagon through . canyon,
accompanied by young brother and . girl
friend. They managed to escape from the
Jaws Of the animal, but her fright killed her.

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
This is the anniversary time OF the NJ.
B. column. How many years do you think
ii is since this bond OF companionship was
started? Thirteen years since the record
OF our mutual work and interests was
opened in THE AMERYcANi
As in individual life, anniversaries OF
birthdays, New Years and other dates
which concern us personally, are times
when the past is recalled, and reflections
are tinged with mingled satisfaction and
regret, so the column has been having a
little session Of "Reminiscences, and among
other things it has wondered il to those
readers who have been, or are, weak in
body, tried in spirit, troubled in mind,
anxious for the future, burdened with
cares, tested in patience, worn with work,
weary with the struggle OF life, there has
seemed lack of consideration and sym
pathy.
Have we with that grim determination
expressed in one of ssSamantha's" books
in the phrase, 81 will be cheerful" dwelt
so strongly on the 'hopeful" side Of life,
that the sorrowing and feeble and dis
couraged ones have come to believe that
the most OF their felIow-mutuals have
none OF the ills that 'sflesh is heir to-, and
fair minds, and sunny skies bless them
perpetuaiiy?
have not written the personal word of
sympathy to those who have borne sad
losses, that intended to; have not sent
the message Of cheer and remembrance 1
had in my mind, to those who have
passed through trying experiences; many
times have not expressed directly the ap-
probation / have felt for the valuable help
given ne by you all in the years past.
While we all believe and know the
| cheerful, hopeful outlook is the better
one for rs to take, let N not forget that
which everyone realizes sometime in life,
there is WEAKNESS Of the fiesh, and sorrow
OF the heart, and let the heipfulness Of
our column balance its hopefulness.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving cards sent
me. ssSadie" writes: 81 have not forgotten
you or the coulmn, but am 80 miserable
all the time l can't seem to get courage
enough to write" We are glad Sadie IL

| mer.

YOUR MISSION.

YOUR MISSION.
II you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet.
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet.
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend a hand to help. them,
As they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey,
Up the mountain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by.
You can chant in happy measure.
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer
They win not forget the song.
II you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command,
II YOU cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever-opeu hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep,
You can be true disciple,
Sitting at the Ssviour's feet.
If You cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldie- true.
II where the fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do,
When the battle field is silent,
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do.
