CLUB THANKSGIVING.

1t is worth much to be a singing
bird in this world in which there are
so many discordant sounds and so
many cries of pain and discourage
ment; for even a birds song puts a
little more JOY and music into the air.
But it is worth even more to be
singing club, giving out notes of hope
and gladness and thanksgiving to re-
lieve our own full hearts and to
brighten and encourage the lives of
others. Lest we seem to accept the
many good gifts which we have re-
ceived without being properly CRATE
full to the great Giver, we are pausing
for a moment at this our anniversary
season to ennumerate our many bless
ings and to sing our glad song of
thanksgiving.
We are very thankful for our club
organization and more thankful still
that when our organizer, Mrs. }. X.
Contee, was seeking for d name, she
did not select merely a pretty or fan
ciful one, but that she gave to our or
ganization the name we all love, Self
Improvement" a name that is q SER
mon in itself and inspires members
to nobler aims and more lofty ideals.
2. We are thankful for six years of
steady growth and Improvement, for
five years of mutual helpfulness and
perfect peace and unity and harmony
and for an ever enlatging sphere of
usefulness
| 3. We are thankful for health and
happiness and for Gods most kindly
care and protection. Though sorrow
has touched some very nearly, yet
during the years of our existence the
grim reaper, Death, has never once
entered into our portals to rob us of
our members and to leave our ranks
broken and our hearts desolate.
4. We are thankful for prosperity,
for the ever increasing bank account
that brings our club hoouse nearer
and nearer, and we are very thankful
for large number of friends who by
their encouragement, their apprecia-
ton of our efforts, and by their loyal
support, strengthen and sustain us in
our battle for success.
5. We are thankful for our mem
bership, for the noble, unselfish wom-
en- who work SO loyalty for the sue

cess of our club. We are thankful for
their qualitIv. hand and heart and
mind Thankful that from our own
number we can supply for our i'm
provement' women with a thorough
knowledge of parliamentary usages,
domestic science, sociology, philan-
thropy, literature, music, art, or any
other branch of work that we desire
to pursue. But women, who for all
their attainments, possess the gentle
ness and modesty and love for home
without which no woman's life can be
complete.
For we have women strong of soul
yet lowly,
With rare meekness born of gentle
ness,
Women whose lives are pure and
clean and holy,
The women whom all little children
bless.
Brave, earnest women, helpful to each
other,
With finest scorn for all things low
and mean,
Women who hold the name of wife
and mother
Far nobler than the life of a queen
Indeed are our hearts full to over
flowing with thanks for our many
blessings. But the merely personal
element in thanksgiving is after all a
selfish element. Hence in the midst
of our gratitude for our club prosper
ity, we do not lose sight of those less
fortunate, and We shall endeavor to
scatter our rays of hope and gladness
to brighten and cheer the lives of
others.
For if thou art blest,
Then let the sunshine of thy gladness
rest
On the dark edges of each cloud that
lies
Black in thy brothers skies"
MRS. HATTIE WHITE,
MRS. EVA TOMPKINS,
ALICE d. WEBB, Chairman.

Successful Mutual Benefit Concern.

The National Benefit association.

500 members of the race on sal
ary and commission and is doing a
much needed work rs n mutual benefit

For instance, he smoked tobacco all day long: he could never learn to close Il door after him; he stuck the knife into his mouth instead of tue fork; he went about in the house with his hat on: he mnnicured his nails in the middle of the ate!ier. and at night he had t0 have three mugs of ale. He was full of faults"
