UP And DOWN Parish STREET
By PERCY GREENE

PARISH STREET SATURDAY.
Night: Up and down the Ole Ave.
Saturday night, as I got around
to my faVorite places, everybody I
met, and naturally so, were talk
ing about the things that are hap
penlng in the state during these
sole stirring days. Talking to
group of young ladies, the THOUGHT
came to me that Rev. Holland, UP
at Central church, was asking for
young women volunteers for work
around at the depot prviding aid
for the soldiers travelling through
the city. There is also the women's
division of the Kinds County Negro
War Savings Committee who needs
some young ladies to help in the
Stamp Booths, and there is lots of
room, and need for a lot of men and
women on the various committees
of that organiZa ton. Thinking thus
the idea came to me to tell them
and you, that the best way TO light
en- the burden of your thoughts
these days is to keep busy, and T
don't mean running your mouth.
Get in and get busy helping to win
the war, and you want have to
much time tc allow the burden of
your thoughts to become so trouble
some, and the more you help to win
the war, the more folks will begin
to demand for you something bet
ter than the things about which
you are worried. 1 don't think we
can find better policy.

The life OF loved one never
end, it simply goes on until its
work is done here, only to take us
the work in the next room. We
lived before and we after here,
We are not summerflies that live
but for one day.
Even nature teachers us this.
The relation of the trees in the
woods, the succession of the season,
leaf that falls in the autumn and
live in the new leaf in the spring,
there is no end. 1t becomes easier
to believe this when the other

You and I can never feel for

the light of a life dear to us has

and surely if sometimes slowly,
