Dear Children: Let's have little
| history class right here in our own
corner. How many Of you can name
the presidents of the United States
in the order Of their administration?
No! don't look in your histories,
just write them as you remember
we will give the names of those who
stand at the head of the history
class.
Speaking of history let me tell
you this, it is fine to know and re-
member the big men and women Of
history, but it is far more important
| to conduct yourselves and form
your characters so that you can be
| big men and women Of the future.
Be truthful be honest, be unafraid.
when you knew you are in the
right, speak out openly. Do every
thing with franlness. The greatest
coward is the one who hides his ac-
| tons behind cloak of any kind. l
want you to be fine, straightforward
men and women, with breadth of
mind and kindness of heart. My
mother used to say that the great
est mark of a lady or gentleman
was kindness Of heart. Lovingly,

How-dy-yee Do, Dear Mrs" Letter Box
and Family: Am welcome? How can you
ant ather? Any way. just love to visit
our little space in The Journal called the
Letter Box" Aunt Julias big family re-
minds me of days when 1 was a child,
when all of us "chilluns'' had day off
from school and visited grandmother. Such
eat. Although, Aunt Julia, I'm very glad
to say, isn't quite so generous to feed us,
| or she'd throw up her hands in horror at
| the thought of feeding all US cousins. Aunt
Ssuha, please accept my heartfelt thanks
for printing my other letter. Listen, cous-
| ms, happened across a few words today
| that express my sentiment exactly. People
who are too fond of gossip read this: Keep
a watch on your words my friends, for
words are wonderful things. They are
| they have terrible stings. They can bless
like the CAD, warm sunshine, and can
| brighten lonely life. They can cut in the
strife of anger like an open two-edged knife.
| Keep them back, if they're cold or cruel,
under bar and lock and seal. The wounds
! slow to heal. Write kindness on your BAN
ner; let it wave upon the breeze; you'll
| win crown for all your heart-aches, for
| it's Jesus whom you please" Some, per-
old world is surely dying for the lack of
love for zone another so let's all open up
| our shut7up hearts and be more agreeable
| to everybody. Mr.. S. E.. Coon, of Alabama,
