helpful young people in the 11elds
doing their Bit ! just hope that
some of them at least belong to our
circle, and 1 always wave a greet
ing with that hope in mind.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Cousins and all:
Say, as | open wide the door
And gaze with Ianguid eyes across the
moor,
What is't / see beyond yon trackless
Waste where eagles soar,
Across the marsh where lions roar.
Ills Aunt Julia and her council of many
Entrance costs not penny.
In far off Dixie Land I see
A glen, dell, land or lea,
And there I'd like to be.
Ry hickory groves and wild grape royes
Kline herds browse in sleepy droves.
No longer do we buddle round the stoves,
For spring is here
In its cinging gear
Summer in triumph is riding near.
Here and there tulip rare,
A sycamore with limbs still bare,
On lawns of green a foal or a mare.
Where wildflowers spot the lea
Bees busy as busy can be,
Gathering honey for you and me;
In mountain dales at dawn
OFT do l a fwan
Romping upon the lawn.
The summer sun sets Ger steeples and
Weeds and all thorns wilt in nfidel towers,
But, as I'm saying, God left us the flowers.
The wild woodland rings
With the joy it brings.
Write to a boy of sixteen springs

Dear Aunt Julia: Here is a poem l read
the other day which like very much:
"God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives
through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain
But God has promised strength for the day
Rest from the labor, light for the way;
Grace for the trials, help from a above
Unfailing sympathy, undying love-"
Lovingly
