Books Have Brought Cheer

Have you the name and address of the giver of the books? I would very much like to acknowledge them by a personal letter if l could. But if the giver does not wish 1t I will respect his or her wish and be content to thank the Corner. I cannot tell you how it has eheered me up to get such willing response to my request It will make me more than ever desirous to do what I can to help others. I am not blessed with enough of this worlds goods to help as l should like to do, but I find that there are always those who need help and a cheery word, and the pointing to the great burden bearer. Sometimes l think one gets greater lessons and blessings in that way than if they had the means to help other- wise. There are so many of Gods chill dren walking under heavy load who need the light upon their souls! Again let me thank the Corner most sincerelyi

 KATE E. G."
 After so eloquent a thank offering as you have given here there is no propriety in sending you the names of those whose was the privilege of brightening your days and resting the wearied head and heart in the evening that brings respite from every cumberng care" You may reeol- lect the old hymn from which that phrase is taken. Did you know that the author a plain, hard working women, first wrote it.
 "I love to steal awhile away
 From little ones and carer"
 That was all of 75 years ago. But the evenings rest and quiet meditations are always the same to tired mothers am very glad that our Corner is well of refreshment to you. More glad that look you through 'every cumbering eare'' to the Great Burdenbearer.

heather ancestors. That fear was there,
and the "cross mark" was originally the
sign of the cross, and supposed to be

who had just emerged from heathendom.
There are so many places in the Bible
where we are exhorted to be brave, to

We believe in God; believe also in me. !"

How can IL be? A mind at ease on
that subject is like a boat whose anchor
is dependable. The seas may be rough,
the clouds lowering. the tempest strong,
but naught can affect it.
There is only one fear that is to be
commended: The fear of the Lord is

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.


Dear Household: We who have to
work hard and have little to show for
what we do think that life is not much
but when we get out of our own narrow
circle and see the cheerfulness and help
that some who are on beds of affection
afford the world, 1t makes US ashamed.
Miss Jemima Jackson, of Ackerville,
Ala. is one of that sort. Her sister has
made her welcome to the best her own
labors could afford, and Miss Jemima
has done her best to help by sewing.
Just imagine how hard il is to be in
bed and sew Now the doctor says the
sister has spinal trouble, and I do hope
that all who read this will send them at
least a dime.
"Inasmuch as We did it unto the least
of these" on earth, Jesus promises the
blessing. Don't say you are going to do
so and and then let other things crowd
it out of your mind. Today is the time
to help the needy Think Of the suf-
fering that could be relieved If every
one carried out his good impulses and
did not put of until tomorrow or the
next day.
Procrastination is not only the thief
of time, but the destroyer of souls.
Sincerely,
ELIZABETH
