Dear Children:
All winter I have enjoyed think.
ing of you romping outdoors on the
clear bracing days of costly playing
by a warm fire on the rainy, cold
days, but l find myselw now think
ing "how nice it is going to be in a
few weeks that these dear children
can be out of doors most of the
time, and that the winter cold is
passing"
This goes to show how our dear
Lord made each season for our good.
He CAV eyou certain laws to live
by, if you fail to do that you pay
the penalty. Careless splashing
raound in puddles or streams early
in the cool spring weather, means
bad colds, and much worry for your
mother. Try to remember if you
will just follow the laws at nature,
liv eright, eat right, act right, you
and happy. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
