you are through
In building an shapin' the dwellin'
for you;
He comes to a place that is faded an
worn,
An it glows as the room where the
baby was born.
You may guard it from danger as
much as you will,
But sorrow and grief will come into
it still;
An you shall discover when weepin'
is Ger,
The old home is dearer to you than
before;
There shall linger about it memories
Of the wonderful spirit that used to
be there.
Buildin' Home! Well. reckon that's
fun,
Because it's a job that you never get
done.

ness or woe,

BUILDING A HOME

Buildin' home! Well, reckon that s
fun,
Because it's a job that you never get
done;
For after the plannin' an worry an
fuss
An the carpenters quit an you clean
up the muss,
An the buildin' is finished from Gel
lar to dome
You've got to get busy and make it a
home.
Home must be built out o. laughter
an tears,
It's got to be aged by the passin' of
years;
It's got to be perfumed by memories
sweet
An carelessly raced through by glad
little feet,
An though mother may fret some
when company calls,
There's got to be thumb marks all
over the walls.
It's job you can't hurry or do to a
plan
Home isn't built to the whim of a
man.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We, the Cedar Hill Sunday School
desire to give public expression OF
our appreciation of the stand that
Mr. c, G, Armitage, Mayor of Greene
vile, has taken with regard to carni-
walls and the Sunday Law.
We feel that he should have the
hearty support of every Christian,
both as individuals and as a whole,
all over the county, in trying to shield
our boys and girls from temptation
and in the efforts he has made for
the moral and spiritual welfare of
the town and county.
