Journal, Atlanta, Ca.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you let
&C. five year. boy with crippled heart
into your happy band?
My home is up here in the Land Of the
Sky" and / doubt If the great Artist has
given more beautiful things to any other
part of the world. You ought to see our
mountains when the aZaleas and rhododen-
drons are in bloom or in the winter when
the trees are covered with frost or snow.
OF course, our waterfalls are worth seeing
at any season. There Is one fall not far
from here that makes so much mist that
you can see rainbow" on any sunny day.
How many of you are interested in htera-
ture? I started to put down list Of my
favorite books, but it would be too long.
How many of you collect the beautiful
poems that you find in your reading? l
made Of ~ Aeaves of paper tied together
with some bits Of ribbon that were my
society's colors when 1 was in school. Here
are the two bits of poetry that are perhaps
my favorites:
Though maddened by the maze of things,
And tossed by storm and flood,
To this fixed hope my spirit clngs.
/ know that God is good."-Whittier.
81 held It truth with him who sings
To one clear harp in divers tones,
mat men may rise on stepping stones
Of their dead selves to better things"
Philips Brooks once said that we grow
like what we think of, so we ought to
think as much as possible about things
that are true and beautiful.
Yours sincerely,
RAY N. MOSES.
