Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May come

band of boys and girls. Many thanks,
auntie, for printing my other letter. Hello,
If any of you cousins have the song, Let
the Rest of the World Go By please send
it to me and l will return the favor in any
way l can. Dear auntie, if YOU find this
worthy please print it:
Our Thanks to the Giver
For the happy seasons that come and go;
For blossoms and fruit for frost and snow;
For the leafy woods, where the shadows
play:
For the stream that bears our boats away
For the long, bright days, aud the starlit
gloom,
The merry game and the welcome home
We give God thanks
All our years are glad with the gifts He
sends
With study and play, with love and friends.
The world is wonderland, strange and
rare,
THAT offers us treasures everywhere.
The winds whispered secrets. the birds
glad call,
Sunrise and sunset, we love them all,
And give God thanks.
For flowers we gathered in beautiful Nav,
The snow fort we built but yesterday,
For the soft white clouds that float Ger our
sky,
For happy dreams of our by-and-hy,
For bright paths that open before our feet.
For the Child who made all child life sweet,
Il, We give God thanks.
I would be glad to have letter from all
Of the cousins in every state. Your old

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May come
in and join the Cousins league? Have
been a silent reader almost a year, though
never could find courage to write: For nv
subject l will take "Sympathy," the finest
or human virtues Can you think of any
thing more to be deplored than the loss Of
TINS element in life? If you had your choice
to give M sympathy for any other virtue
| believe you and would let any other vir-
tue 20 rather than lose our power to SYM
pathize with those in trouble Think of
world. or a community. or a home without
sympathy. 1t would be veritable hell
upon earth, and we could not endure for
day such a hell. 1t is the nobest Of feel
ings, the root of thousand other beautiful
and comforting ways. Sympathy rises to
stormy. 1t comes as gentle rays come
Frightening and warming everyone it
touches. Sympathy reinforces the broken
one who is suffering, it does what it can
to help to arruage the pain and loneliness.
