PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER.

l cannot tell why there should come TO
A thought of some one miles ana
miles away,
In swift insistence on the memory
Unless there be need that snouio
pray.
Zoo hurried oft are we to share the
thought,
For DAVIS together of some friend
away;
Perhaps God does it for us, and we
ought
TO road His signal as a call to pray.
Perhaps, just then, my friend mas
fercer fight
And more appalling weakness, and
OF courage, darkness some lost sense
of right;
And so in case he needs my prayer
pray.
Friend do the same for me. If in
trude
Unasked upon you, on some crowded
day,
Give me a moments prayer as inter-
Jude;
Be very sure l need it, therefore
pray.
And when you pray, dear friend, l ask
of thee,
That thou wilt seek of God not mine
own way:
Not what l want, but His blest thought
for me,
Do thou through Jesus Christ i'm
plore, pray.

mum an old one that you don't care
about partly full of rain water
enough to cover silver q melted snow,
as my water is hard). To every quart
add one teaspoon each of salt and
baking soda. Lay your pieces of silver
in so that each piece touches the
aluminium in some place and let boil
until all tarnish is removed. Then
polish with just a little rubbing as
usual. CT laid an old aluminium plate
in an agate kettle) 1t doesn't in
jure the silver unless it is the ware
with hollow handles.

some sewing for my little ones.
don't mind sewing when it is such cold
weather, for one doesn't care to get
out Here at Ashville we neighbors do
enjoy our Wednesday club. Then, I'M
less it is a terrible storm, we go to
club and sew, knit or do fancy work
for our annual fair, and exchange lit

Grandma has been telling the
Black berry Girl story to the children,
and my! how glad they are to have it
in print, so that mama can read it to
them. 1t wasn't in my school books.
l hope "Meb" will write more
often, for when l tell the ladies that
there was a letter from "Meb" in
The American, my paper is in great
demand, for when l was a child she
kept wonderfully well-stocked store
here at Ashville. Her books We're in a

Since the column that had the
Christian Endeavor topic has been
done away with, l miss it. / wish we
