 Now brother Grain. as it is written in that book with which you are Sn 1 familiar, An honest confession is good for the soul" You have admit l ted that you were 'knocker' of the

How often did yeu ever read the passages from that worthy o9d | book of common sense Foot nos | thine own horn" "self praise smells | bad" I doubt whether you ever read | that favor now. But after reading those cOnsoling words which say. He I, shall not be footed" OF land thySelf that men may know thee" you sealed the old book with d kiss and vowed never 10 partake of her teachings again. If you had only followed the teachings of that wonderful old mas terpioce; with the natural ability which I am glad to acl1nowlodoe vor Ina ". you might have won the good favor of your mother -ilt-law. which would have enabled you to fullfl yorr first obligation to your noble wife and your family which has been SO sadly neglected Il is III established fac: ,at when a man wins tho gc'. respect and confidence Of those with whom l." k closely associated. that ie has accomplished a great feat Tn would he especially true f he sho' II win the respect and confidence of his mother-in-law. In your last item you complmcnted me very highly aloEg this line.

If you are going to continue yoGr Bright Star" headline, I would suggest th&; you invest one of your dimes in cake of "Ronami" and polish that old star up so that it will be bright by natu"o as well as by name. Say Will, knock that icycle off your nose and cone out to sunday school next Sunday.
