Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please
let Stella Bell Fitzgerald, an Arkansas GIRL
send you a little poem. I will not describe
myself, only say that l do very well for
me, and my cousin says I am good looking.
Am &c years old; have Travelled great
deal. Will close by saying every one of
you cousins who approve of my poem let
me know it by writing me.
Some Idle Christians
An idle Christian in little town,
Had nothing to do, but sit around.
TITS well with us, so what care we for the
poor, the lost, the Savior'S plea?
So much we've read, much we've learned,
But as for the poor, or the lost, we are not
concerned.
Only stories to read socials and Joy,
And while away life as though twas toy.
May God pity those who see in this life
No work, no duty toward allaying strife.
What need hath the Master for servants,
pray,
If there is nothing to do in this, His glori-
How can you expect to hear, ''Wel done"
If you live for worldly honors, pleasure
and fun?
The Master has left you plenty to do;
Others are serving, and why not you?
So, il you are a Christian, as you say,
God needs your service. and needs it today.
So many are lost in the depths of sin
To tell them of Jesus, it's time to begin.
MISS STELLA NJ. FITZGERALD.
Vanndale, Ark.

homes, week Of the deepest peace and joy,
peace with us in the days that follow and so

will be felt by every one with whom we
come in contact. Will some one please send
