My Dear Children:
Media Finley has sent us such a
happy greeting that [ feel that she
should have the space l usually de-
vote to a message to you, so her
| letter will lead today.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Media Finley, of F'yffe, Ala.
sends these lines to Aunt Julia and
the cousins:
see a circle very large,
With Aunt Julia in the center,
Bidding boys and girls who wish
This happy ring to enter.
My vision goes from coast to coast
To far and distant places,
All through these grand old south
ern states.
You'll find their bright, young faces
The country boys, the country girls
Are glad to join this band,
| While those from town and city life
Now grip us by the hand.
'Tis good to know what Johnnie
does,
In Sunny Tennessee;
What Mary says about the west,
| Is good for you and me.
The thoughts we bring forth every
month,
Are like the good, round table,
Each from the treasures of his life,
Gives such as he is able.
Oh, may this circle wider grow,
And may we seek the pleasure
To give from what we have in store
OF wisdon's priceless treasure.

| farm, where the trees are green and the
| flowers blossom, and the birds sing so
sweet. 1t is grand to go out into the
woods, and down in the meadow by the

breezes blow. How many of you cousins

yearning for His people who had
turned away from their best friend :.
| What a marked contrast 10 the
wild orgies OF the priests of Baal!
