That was the letter she dictated to
me, the woman from way over there
where rents are relatively cheap,
where coal is bought by the single b0s-
ket and where a can of timed milk
can be made to last a family of four
a whole week. | put the words down
just as she said them, for | thought
the "ladies" would find it hcart-warm-
ing to learn that their gift had such
an effect on the dull gray household
that "the kids wuz crazy
She told me It was q s. basket
There was chicken, vegetables
enough for week, even potatoes
the first in their house this winter
fruit, everything to make Il real feast.
Who sent it? Well, she didn't know
their names, but she knew 1t was
through the Bureau of Charities her
family had got all that SO she had
called up the bureau and thanked them
and they said club of ladies were
the ones that sent the things. The
club had telephoncd in and asked fOl
the address of some family that would
not be likely to have big dinner and
then they had filled the basket and
sent it to the address given. Now she
would like to thank the club. She
could read English but she couldn't
spell the words. Would | write the let.
ter for her? And that was the way
the ladies found out that the "kids
wuz crazy"
Iwent over to Mrs. Halls home, and
the setting and situation seemed to
my inexperlence exaggerated beyond
actuality. The place looked like a
stage representation of poverty. The
husband had deserted; there were
three children, toddler, sickly girl
of nine a sickly boy of ten and the
mother had "pains in the chest" could
work only intermittently. There was
plenty of work to be had this year
she said, but first one child fell sick,
then another, and she herself, after
being so hot in the steamy Easements
where she did washings and then go
ing out into the cold, would get those
pains in the chest and would have to
give up for awhile. At present about
ali she was doing was working at
home, putting strings on express tags.
Going home in the street car / fell
into such an abstraction I went nearly
to the limits before l woke up enough
to consider the matter of alighting. l
got to thinking of contrasts-of q
world of folk fuss'ng about the ovd
amount of protein they had in their
systems, and that other world with the
family milk ration one tin week; of
people suffering from superheated
apartments, and of those that watched
anxiously the dwinlling nuggets in the
basket of people blinking under the
glare of too-nany -Hnd-toO- -high-power
bulbs, of the Hall Iamily that went to
| bed right after supper to save light;
| of dancing-dresSes trimmed with fur,

All Should Be Grateful.

There is something about the shock
ed grain in the fields, the heaps of
yellow pumpkins, the stubble of the
cut corn and wheat, even the blue
gray of the November sky which bends
low like benediction that speaks
of righteousness, of fruition, of Gods
loving care. 1t is the universal thanks
giving the uplifting of all his crea-
lures hearts in praise.

PRAISE THE LORD!"
Thanksgiving Song in Bos.
ton Harbor Rings in
the Ears Today.
ttDraise ye the Lord" The psalm

sun rises on our ears
l. Borne from the hills of Boston
bay
Through five times fifty years,
When Winthrop's fleet from Yarmouth
crept
Out to the open main,
And through the widening waters swept,
In April sun and rain.
"Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
The leader shouted Pray"
And prayer arose from all the ships
AS faded Yarmouth bay.
They passed the Scilly isles that day.
And May-days came, and June,
And thrice upon the ocean lay
The full orb of the moon. d"
And as that day, on Yarmouth bay,
Ere England sunk from view,
While yet the ripping solent lay
In April skies of blIe.
pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
Each morn was shouted. pray"
And prayer arose from all the ships,
AS first in Yarmouth bay;
Blew warm the breeze o er western seas,
Through Maytime morns, and June,
Till hailed these souls the Isles of Shoals,
Low meath the summer moon;
And as Cape Ann arose to view,
And Norman's Woe they passed,
through,
And circled round each mast
Pray to the Lord with fervent lips"
Then called the leader pray"
And prayer arose from all the ships,
AS first in Yarmouth bay.
Above the sea the hill-tops fair
Gods towers-hegan to rise
And odors rare breathe through the air,
Like balms Of Paradise.
Through burning skies the ospreys flew,
And near the pine-coolcd shores
Danced airy boat and thin canoe,
To flash of sunlit oars.
pray to the Lord with fervcnt lips
The leader shouted. "Pray;'
Then prayer arose and all the ships
Sailed into Boston bay.
The white wings folded anchors down,
The sea-worn fleet in line.
Fair rose the hills whore Boston town
Should rise from clouds of pine;
Fair was the harbor. summit walled,
And placid lay the sea
"Praise ye the Lord" the leader called;
Praise We the Lord" spake he.
Give thanks to God with fervent lips,
Give thanks to God today"
The anthem rose from all the ships.
Safe moOred In Boston bay.
"praise ye the .ordw primeval woods
First heard the ancient song,
And summon bi1le and solitudes
Tho echoas rolled along
The Red Cross flag of England blew
Above the fleet that day,
While Shawmut's triple peaks in view
In amber haZes lay
"praise We the Lord with fervent lips
Praise We the Lord today"
Tho anthem rose from all the ships
Safe unoorcd in Boston bay.
