Norwich bulletin., 1915-11-20

Dear Cornerites: Firstly. let me say that Cornerites means brethren as wen as sistren- Those who allow their ad- mirers. husband, brothers. or sons. to belong to the Social Corner must ex- pect to have them included in my polite remarks for one am glad that there are some brethren, although I've never met any of them. l have a spe- cial liking for Jim. Last winter when broke my wrist he sent me a couple of nice postcards. I do not think that Mrs. Jim objected to his sending them any more than your Uncle Zolvah ob- iected to my receiving them I cannot quite decide what to think she would speak up and say which pro- noun fits Of one thing l feel quite certain-that whether Merry Andrew is a man or a woman the tirade against the brethren was written just for fun and to stir up little conver sation. So. Brother or Sister Andrew, I congratulate you on your success. I had not intended to let so long a time -elapse without sending at least a few lines to The Corner, but was away from home for six weeks. and since my return have not been we'll An at : but am feeling better now.
 ] The Bulletin followed me on my l travels and 1 read with great interest about all your picnics. What a lot of ! kOOQ times JQlSSco. Am SldQ the EGSI of you could have them My vacation was most enjoyable. On the 10th of September I went to a de- | ightful place down on Long Island. and while the rest of the world was | sizzling, kept cool. The time was spent 1 quietly and restfully. During the mornings we sat on the veranda, en- loving the cool breeze Portions oi some afternoons were spent on ths beach watching the ever-changine beauty. of the ocean, There also were some pleasant drives Two of ths l beach experiences were especially en- toyable. One was the time when VI | saw the sun set and the harvest moor rise; the other was clear sunshin, afternoon which followed a very storm, morning. There was a high sea anS we stood upon the highest dune anE as far as the eye could reach in 'eithe direction saw the waves flashing against the shore, creeping higher ant
 ever higher up the beach beneath u
 and filling the air with a fine spra.
 that felt like snow upon our faces. From Long Island l went to viSt
 relatives in New Jersey. and turnet
 from the study of nature to the oo
 servation of human nature as fllustrat
 ed in the daily walk and conversation
 of my nieces and nephew. l also re
 newed many old friendships.
 Then there were a number of de llightful automobile rides through { very beautiful section of New Yorl and New Jersey. Some of them wer' all-day rides with a picnic dinnel cooked and eaten in the woods, sur | rounded by beautiful trees and rugged ! moss and fern-covered rocks.
 Ready and Aline: 1 am glad that yol , have come to live in Willimantic an should like to call on you. Can yo
 please send me by postals your ad
 dresses?
 Mother Hubbard: I enjoyed your lit
 tie sermon and quite agree with you
 sentiments about forgiving injuries. for no other than a selfish motive. " l should try to forgive because one wh { Is carrying around a lot of inture I and bitter feelings cannot be trul happy. But there Is the nobler motiv
 of setting a Christian example, Tn longer I live the stronger grows m , conviction that two of the best evi
 dences of a Christian spirit are will , ingness to acknowledge ones fault r and to forgive the faults of other I They are both difficult and I do nc
 always practice what l preach" bu . each attempt will make the next on : easior. And the satisfaction which wi ! result from ruling ones own spirit an
 changing enemies into friends is a l different from the pleasure of "gettin
 even," paying back" holding on : grudges, etc. as daylight is from dark r ness.
 With best wishes for alls
