Your good poem, L. o. T., will be used
soon.
Dear MUtuals:
am sending one of my favorite poems
from my scrap book, and hope it will
mean as much to you as it does to me-
is 1t not true that what we are and what
we do either make or mar life for u.s.
adding to our joys or our burdens? Let
us strive to give the best we have, and
so feel the gladness that comes from being
able to lend some other poor soul cheer
and comfort. Let us all look for only
the good in others, remembering that,
as we seek, we shall find; and let as try
to clear up our own faults and not those Of
somebody else. a person without faults
would be more than human, you know
If we would all resolve from this time
forward to say of others only what we
would want them to say OF us, / am
sure there would be a wonderful change
for the better in all our lives.
greatly enjoy the NJ. B. column
Have tested several of the recipes with
success. Will send in some recipes and
hope the column may be benefited by
them. If my letter does not find its way
into the waste basket, shall come again
Happy Thanksgiving greeting to all
