Dear M. h. Frtends.
Perhaps 1t Is the unthouR ht- Of infiu-
ence that counts most after all. Wber
one is placed in circumstances where he
feels be must be on his guard, he cannot
really act himself with the freedom he
feels when his mind and heart are free
from that care. Sometimes the thought
one intended to convey 10 another is mis-
understood and a different construction 10
placed on the idea than what was in
tended. But much more often we catch
the thought OF the other, and as Alexia's
poem says "it creates its kind".
Have you ever taken account OF the evil
dences of thought all about Us? do not
mean now, the wonders and variety " hich
Nature presents on every hand, but the
articles we use; the books we read, the
fabrics we make up, the houses we live in,
the fancy ornaments, the clocks we con-
suit, the pictures on the walls. Somebody
thought OF every separate part that en-
tered into the construction and compost
tion of all these things. Thoughts are
things" the poet has written, and thought
preceded the things that take form and
shape and are needful for our use and COM
fort.
Why do SO many make money the
standard! It surely helps to materialize
the thoughts of heipfuiness which make
this world q more comfortable abiding
place than it would be without them.
Some one has said: "Think to some pur-
pose, and we have proof that multitudes
have done that.
