"F" IS FOR FAITH

"F" rs FOR FAITH
Faith is 6. short word, but it means
as much as almost any other word there
is, except perhaps love.
We have faith in the bus driver or
wouldn't ride with him. We have
faith in builders Of bridges or we
wouldn't cross their bridges. We have
faith in our friends or we wouldn't have
friends.
We have faith in the bus driver be-
cause we believe he knows how to drive
we'll; he is fami liar wi tn the road and
can manage o big bus.
We use bridges planned by mon we
have never seen because we believe they
know how to build good safe bridges.
No trust our friends because they are
worthy Of our faith in them.
ind we should try to be worthy Of
the faith other people have in us.
The Second Grade has been talking
about sleeping in trailers.
One Of our former scho0lma tos,
Jacquoline Johnson, wrote us a letter
saying she is going on a trip to Salt
Lake City. We were worry glad to hear
from her.
