Dear Presbyterian:
I thought I would write you a letter
to tell you what my little brother
Willie and I have been doing this
summer.
Papa, mamma, Willie and I all went
to Smlthfleld last week to see Aunt
Hattie and Aunt Sallie May. We had
such a good time. Aunt Sallie Mayhas
the nicest little pony I ever saw.
Aunt Lee is going to give me a birth

Six KEEPS.
Keep my little voice today?
Keep it gentle while I play; ,
Keep my hands from doing wrong.
Keep my feet the whole day long;
Keep me all, O Jesus, mild;
Keep me ever thy dear child.
WHY CHILDREN SING.
Who shall sing if not the children?
Did not Jesus die for them?
May they not, with other jewels,
Sparkle in his diadem?
Why to them were voices given?
Birdlike voices, sweet and clear?
Why, unless the songs of heaven
They begin to practice here?
DO SOMEHING FOR EACH OTHER.
Do something for each other,
Though small the help may be ;
There's comfort oft in little things,
Far more than others see.
