Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-07-21

my first attempt TO write. I certainly
enjoy reading the many good letters in each
issue, and, were | an inspired writer,
would write on the subject Of Christianity,
or becoming Christian, but [ feel unable,
for lack of sufficient English. to deal the
subject Justice. L think we all should be
more interested in discussing some subject
more beneficial than the description of our
personal appearance and dancing. 1t seems
as ii a great number of the people arc far
more interested in such things than anv-
thlng else. The leaders, or peOple> of in
fluence, in a community frequently fail to
do their duty in teaching or instructing the
young boys and girls, and parents also. ia
TO 90 their duty IN properly training their
children and teaching them the way they
should so. Many parents do not realize tn.
responsibility that rests upon them in teach
ing child, not only in becoming a worthy.
uSernl citizen Of the community, but perhap s
inc rate OF It's own soul rests upon its
teaching received while under the influence
or Its parents. Ministers of the gospel also
vary from the teachings of the Bible, and
teach and instruct the people methods not
found in the Bible, and many people IN
ignorance. believe it, instead of reading the
Bible TO see for themselves. Should every
one who is capable of teaching the right
things to those of less knowledge do their
duty and teach the younger genera ton right
the world would be much more civilized. AMI
not so many innocent children brought IN IN
ignorance to become men and women I'M
worthy OF entering that stage OF life and
qualifying for the future leaders and rulers
or our nation. | will close with love to all

Hello. auntie and cousins, Win you ad-
NIT cheerful little Yankee into your happy
band! ! am an interested reader of the
Letter Rox and surely think IL great
treat to any reader of it. Now, cousins,
read letters from so many states, but
nave not been fortunate enough to see one
from the dear old state of Pennsylvania.
Perhaps YOU will all he glad to hear from
new state, as our state now holds so many
boys and men from the southern states, sucn
as North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama
Georgia ard Tennessee; also we have 8 few
boys rooming close by who are from the
state of Texas. We all enjoy the talks of
these boys Of their home life. But there is,
OF course, much difference in our ways and
theirs. We are all fond Of sunshine and
the flowers and birds and bees, etc, but
we ali have some occupation which keeps
MS always busy. l live not far from the
city of PittsburG and, NJ course. Pennsyl
vania Is an industrial state and, thank God.
ITS an opportunity for girls and women. rs
well ga men; yet | find time to crochet,
piece quilts or read 4 little now and then
