Wonder how many are planning to attend
the reunion? Aunt Madge cautioned me not
to work too hard to get ready to entertain
yon, and know YOU will say have obeyed
her TO the letter. For am just enjoying this
summer as please. 1t has been the happiest
summer to me in many years. Can go when
please without fearing shall disappoint
some one by not being at home. Niaeteen
years public servant has truly been some
care.
Last week followed the politicians after
votes and surely had good success and gained
the prize I was after for my candidate, who is
to-day rejoicing over a new piano. The time
is not far distant when women as well rs men
will be scrambling after the political vote in
Maine as they now are in so many states. I
don't believe the men who vent the same
route We did got used as well as we did.
People gave us SO willingly their subscriptions
to The AMERICAN, regardless of their party
politics; then fed us or wanted to on the fat
of the land, and when Ee could eat no more
they filed paper bags for us to take along, /
found the name Gray was q talisman or open
sesame among the people who had any of
that blood in their veins, no matter how far
back.
took dinner with Roland Durgain and new
bride in their beautiful quiet home. Mrs.
Durgain was pupil of mine when was
eighteen years old. / won't even hint how
long ago that was. for fear Of betraying her
age.
On my trip meet many old acquaintance,
among them Capt. i. W. Bowden, at South
Penobscot, whom saw only once in the long,
long ago dressed in q shining new navy nni-
form. oh, how handsome he looked in my
eyes in those sad days! Not that he is not
good looking yet, but perhaps age has
dimmed my eyes.

Topic.-The Christian virtues.-Ix- Hope
fulness.--Rom. v. is; viii 24-2s tConse-
Grafton meeting) Edited by Rev. Sher-
man II. Doyle. D. D.
Hope is one of the cardinal Chris
tian virtues. 1t is word writ large
In the Christians vocabulary. No
sooner did man fall into sin than the
hope of reconciliation with God and
redemption from sin was held out be-
fore him, and that hope has been his
guiding star ever since. Hope is an
emotion compounded of expectation
and desire. Faith Is the unseen pres
emit, hope is the unseen future Hope
that beats eternal in the human
breast" has been taken up, heightened
and hallowed by religion. In the New
Testament great stress has been laid
upon hope and great virtue attributed
to it. Paul ranks it with faith and
love. "And now abideth faith. hope
and love" Hopefulness is an essen
tial characteristic of every true Chris
tian life.
The Christians hope is in God and
In Jesus Christ The psaimist says to
his soul. Hope thou in Cod" and in
the New Testament we are enjoined
to hope In Christ" The special OBJ
ject of our hope in Christ is in the as
surance of His second coming. The
Christian looks above all things "for
the blessed hope, the glorious appear
ing of the great God and of our Saw
TOUR, Jesus Christ" Christ has said.
81 will come again" and He that
hath this hope purifeth himself" The
Christians hope, being in God and In
Christ. is certain Of realization. II
our hope were in man or in any world
" object its fruition would be uncer-
tain, but in God and Christ 1t is not
so. I'VE are saved by hope" There
is no doubt or question about It. The
souls hope of salvation In Christ Is
certain to be realized.
The Christians hope is the fruit of
experience "Tribulation worketh pa
thence, and patience experience, and ex-
perience hope" From experience of
Gods faithfulness in the past we are
led to hope for the future. God has
fulfilled His promises. and this Is ar
assurance that He win fulfill them.
They have already been fulfilled In
such measure as to Justify our contin-
ued hope concerning the future. There
fore ours Is a hope that ..maketh not
ashamed No shame of disappoint-
ment will ever come to those who
hope In the precious promises Of our
God. He is faithful who hath prom
ised." and He will keep faith with as.
The Christians hope extends TO the
future In this life and to the life be-
yond this world. In this life God
promises to be with US and to give us
divine aid, guidance. protection and
comfort. 10. / am with you Away,
even unto the nd of the world" says
Christ But we also have hope Of
eternal ife," 1.-The hope laid up in
heaven and imparting diving hope
of an inheritance eternal In the heay-
ems"
Life without hope Is dead. 1t is
without cheer without comfort. with
out purpose. But why should such a
life be ours? God offers US the great
est and most glorious hopes in Jesus
Christ-hopes that are sure of fulfill
ment. Let us therefore embrace them
and live by them.

and her John hope to be at the reunion.
We will all be glad to see her. Pansy,
can't you come? And all the others that
can possibly be there. Let US hope it will

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
A few weeks ago we mentioned things
"worth while". A seed thought from
that took root in the heart OF E. c. s. and
produced the stanzas above.
Have you ever thought of the important
place notices fill? To be sure, as we pro-
gress in life, we often abandon an old one
and adopt new, according as circum-
stances change, or our own experience de-
mand. We may not always 'shitch our
wagon to a STAR, but you will notice most
notices stand for high ideal. At sixteen
before life's cares are little realized, we
may trace in girlish hand on the first
blank page in our diary:
s.oue by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each"
or akin to it write this:
"one thing at time
Aud that done well
Is q good rule as can tell"
But after a few years at housekeeping,
with s'many irons ia the fire. at one and
the same time, we shall learn to keep
''maEy strings drawing. am quite sure
you would find on investigation that most
reading, thinking persons have a motto.
Proverbs and notices seem TO be related
to each other; no doubt they sprang from
the same source; concise way of stating
great truth appeals to US. 1t il easy to
fix in the mind; it is often an inspiration
which awakens aspiration.
Nov think for minute of class notices,
and be it accredited to the rising genera
tions-as they come and go-that their
selections OF school notices are always
those relating to achievement, advance
ment, labor and its reward. II shows the
upward tendency of their minds and of
their hopes for the future.
1t seems pity that the plural of mot
toes should make ''toes'', for notices are
not supposed ever to stand on their feet.
They are made to be strung on invisible
wire and hung up high; or printed in
quaint hieroglyphics and placed in a neat
frame. A few years ago much cardboard
and worsted and time were used IN making
them for the adornment OF the walls of
rooms. Who shall say that those various
shaded designs were not an infiuepce for
good in the home? We smile at their faded
lettering, II we come across one such in
the garnet or in some dark corner, but they
fulfilled their mission in their day.
