The Empty Letter Box

post Office, father! This is letter
day" And father doesn't have to
be told twice-he goes.
Mother stands in the doorway
watching for him as he comes into
view at the bend of the road, wav-
ing an envelope above his head.
Her eyes are luminous-love, Joy,
eagerness are all there. She
straightens her apron a bit and
runs to meet him.
The letter may be addressed to
both, but does father open it?
Never! Smilingly be hands it
over to mother. Why? Father
always does that. He cannot get
it out of his dear old head that
mother should have the first chance
at that letter. 1t is one of his pet
notions.
But the letter comes-that is the
big thing. 1t doesn't natter who
opens it. 1t doesn't matter wheth-
er it is written on engraved sta
tionery or common tablet paper.
Grammatical construction does not
count at all. A blot or two makes
no difference. Father and mother
are not severe critics.
They keep the letter on the
bureau within easy reach. They
literally wear it out. The folds
break through, but they pin or
paste the pieces together. 1t ha>
10 last the week out there'll be
another letter then. No, father
and mother will not criticise-they
are perfectly happy and content
just SO the letter comes.
But oh, the father and mother
to whom the letter does not come!
We have seen their faces too. N-no
they don't expect a letter at all,
but father goes regularly to the
post office, and mother watches
from the door, thinking possibly.
just possibly, they might hear
from some of the children this
week, but she has waited a long
time now, and no letter comes.
Ah, the unspeakable pathos of
the empty letter box! When the
children were all at home, that box
was usually pretty well filled, but
now
Well, father comes through the
gate, but there is no waving arm.
He just shakes his head, and walks
across tie lot and tinkers with
the fence while before going into
the house. .-. VI
In how many homes after the
morning chores are done, does
father go to the post office, work
his way up the steps, opens the
door, look along the rows until he
comes to certain box, and turn
away empty handed? But wai,
walt-it might be wedged in at
the back! He takes a second look
to be sure. But there's nothing
there!
And the son and daughter, what
does it mean to them-the weekly
letter to father and mother?
Can man sit down and write
home, beginning, "Dear little
Mother" and ending your low
ing son." and not be a stronger
man for it? Must bA not be
stronger for life's stress and storme
Will not the rush of affection
which inspires the tender message
sweep his heart and soul clean of
evil?
He knows just what will happen
back in the old home that night.
Father and mother will have their
family prayers in the bed room
on the sitting room, and after they
arise from their knees, mother will
turn up the light little Just once
agaiu before she goes to bed-iust
once more! We have seen moth
ers do that. Can a man 90 very
