"A Gran and Glorious Feelin -

Then it's "gran' and glorious feelin'" to
do something to help carry happiness into the
lives Of little children.
Remember how much fun you've had in
watching your own children prepare for day
Of unusual pleasure? Well, you can multiply
that many times before you'll find the equiva-
lent of the fun some of US had in several
glances into what will be to us-as it was to
these little ones-the Kingdom-of- -Never-For-
get. Whether it was the enthusiasm Of the
fine lads from Father Flanagan's home or
that of the equally fine lads from the Masonic
home for boys; whether it was the joy shown
by the children from the Christian Home at
Council Hluffs; the smiles Of the little tots
from the Child Saving or the laughter of those
who came from the City Mission, the privilege
of seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter,
observing the enthusiasm and sharing in the
happiness of these children will long be re-
membered.
There Is something too. in the privilege Of coming
into direct contact with the great work being done by
these institutions They all deserve help and they ELL
need help. Don't forget them. As you look into the
faces of these little ones-some faces pnched with
pain, others which the touch of hunger in the
days gone by has left its almost ndelibe mark-you
instinctvey think Of John Hays poem. Little
Breeches."
