Dear friends:-
| have from time to
time intended writing you but
will admit that | have been slow,
at the same time Iwant you to
know that | have not forgotten
you in the least.
1t has been a great inspiration
to me to look back on the Class
and feel that their thoughts are
often for me.
T'is fact that'I have not had
the opportunity to attend S. S.
since my leave, altho have been
permitted to attend service in the
evening considerably.
enjoyed church a great deal
while at ElPaso and on coming
here have found it very much the.
same. People here are very
kind to the boys in uniform.
like our new location fine tho
we expect to give it up soon.
Now as we grow farther apart
in distance | hope that we may
grow closer to gether in friend
ship and in the great task that
confronts US all as we enter into
a new and no doubt the most
strenuous year of our lives let
us strive each one to do at least
one thing and do it well.
Now as | close with the great
est desire and expectation to be
with you again | wish the Victor
Class greater success both in
membership and good work than
ever before.
Pm going to remember and |
wish the classs to remember me
as | go on and on, only kindly
just with a smile, don't feel blue
blues kill some people just,
stop and think if you have any
thing to be blue about.
Wishing each and every one of
the class and the entire Sunday
School year of great success,
and happiness, lam
Yours sincerely,
Homer Holmes.

CONSIDER LOOKS OF THINGS
Any Number 81 Reassns Why Every
Effort Should De Made - Make
Nome Attractive.

I'm travelling through . certain sec
ton Of Illinois the other day / noticed
that most Of the homes were cherries
and desolate," Director Charles Adkins
told me the other day. THE yards
were full Of weeds, there yer no fow-
ers nor wipes, and the majority Of the
houses were implanted.
'Who would want to live In such .
place? What attraction Is there to
keep the boys and girls on the farm?
I felt like asking these people why
they didn't paint up and clean up and
make their homes look like something"
Soldiers are required to keep their
equipment clean and their faces shaved
because Of the effect on their morale.
A clean, trim-looking soldier has more
self-respect and fights better than y
%slovenly one. The man who takes
pride In the appearance Of his place
is q better farmer and a better man
en- that account. The whole family I'M
dertakes Its tasks moro ch~eerfully and
more successfully because Of it,
