Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: will you
Il allow me to join you again: 1 will take
pr my subject The Grace of Apprecia ton. "
We call our subject 1.-THE grace of apprecia-
on" because appreciation is one of the
Faces. 1t is gracious, Winsome, charming
herever found. 1t brings joy to its pos
podness wherever it may be discovered.
ppreciation is an art that can be prac-
ced and acquired more and more. 1t
Roks to the present, and lives in the pres
pit, while not forgetful of the past. APP
feciation looks backward and also forward.
ye are all human, and we are all like flow
rs, but we want them put into our hands
efore these hands are lifeless in death. A
ord of appreciation is more heartening than
hy other thing we can do for our friends.
et us cultivate the grace of appreciation
ct us not forget to thank others for their
fndnesses and helpfulnesses. The Bible
Ills us again and again to be thankful, to
raise God, Besides, thanksgiving is con-
gious. 1t touches others, helps others,
laddens others. Think Of it, my friends,
pw God is pleased with your thanksgiving.
IL thine enemy prosecute you,'' said
esus, pray for him hot hate him. Who
! offereth praise Alright glorifieth God. How
essed it is to know some one is praying
pr us. What sympathies are generated 10y
tercessory prayer Parents for children,
l1ldren for parents; pastor for church, and
furch for pastor. These elements, there
pre-. belong to the grace of appreciati ton.
unit Julia, l thank You for your kindness.
