GOODNESS. LOVE AND KINDNESS.

Dear Editor and Sisters of The Corner /
was sorry to Hear of the passing away
of Tidy ABLY. 1 did not know she was
sick She will be greatly missed, as she
was such worker
The news tells of great things done in
Washin gton and other cities for Arrnis
tice dVT PrerF,ations were made to
carry the voice of the president many
miles as he spoke the nations homage
over the casket of Americas unknown
dead at Arlington. The call of the
bugie the chime of bells, the taps, the,i
whole solemn ceremony was amplifed so
that all might be distinctly heard by peo-
pie at distant points. Though wonderful
in its adoption to the occasion, it is all
an ordinary possibility in the present day
development of the mechanics of the
transmission of sound over charged wires.
1t is one of our many modern triumphs
in the use of the material elements and
forces of nature The national capitol
was bathed in a volume of light equal to
1850 100000 candles, something never
equal1ed before. There were great ave-
nues of light with many brilliant speeta-
cles of mingled hues, flags and coats of
arms of the nations We're blaZoned in
lights. Great searcKTghts doomed up
over the whole city
Never before was there such a stage
| and the unknown possibilities of peace
| 1t will be a great expression not merely
| of achievements but of further possibili-
| ties in a mechanical age. AS a mechan-
| zeal setting nothing was lacking But
| will the drama, the vital thing. CORE
| spond? 1t was all that the eyes or ears
| could crave, but will it be all that the
| heart of troubled nations crave? Me
chanics may respond to the touch in
marvellous symphony of light, color or
/ sound, but fail 10 respond to the touch
that makes the Whole world akin. Every
| town and city throughout. our country
| and other countries realize what Arnlis-
tice day means. The mothers with the
golden stars and the crowds watching
| the parades and celebrations all over
| realize how good it is to have peace
| Too much cannot be said about the
betterment of humanity. We read so
Emuch of improving stock and all other
| things Let us do all we can to irnplant
! and encourage love and brotherly kind
4 ness We women can read and find out
all we can about the different candidates
and vote for the good as near as We can
find out, and those who will uphold good
laws such as child labor, keeping of the
Sabbath and others. 1t doesn't seem as
If We can do much individually but all
good and great things are made up of a
number. of small parts, and each one say
ing a word now and then will do more
than We realize Washington. Lincoln
| and all great men did not try to be great,
but did great deeds and great good by
seeing their duty and the right and 60
, ing ahead and doing it. We can encour-
age brotherly kindness between labor and
capital, merchant and customer, and not
only do as we would be done by but talk
as we believe. for talking and thinking
, lead to acting.
: We plant flowers because they are
lovely to look at What kind of a garden
! would we have if we planted weeds and
: thistles? So in life let us talk about
the good in person, for it is goodness
love and kindness we want to grow in oul
country
Best wishes to all.
