DR. PICKARD’S GREAT MEETING.
Dear Brother Willie:
I have long been a reader of the
“Voices of Youth,” and would like to
become a member.
I want to compliment the debaters.
I think they all did fine, but I was a
little disappointed because the nega
tive did not win. Os course it is natu
ral for me to be, as 1 live in the coun
try. We had that same subject for a
debate at our school last year and the
negative won. I was one of the de
baters on the affirmative. I think if
we would have some more debates it
would cause some of the readers to
become more interested.
I will tell you all of a ten days’
meeting we had here last July. It was
one of the best we have ever had. Dr.
Pickard, of Savannah, did the preach
ing. We received thirty-three mem
bers. Some of them were old men
and women. Dr. Pickard came here
just twenty-five years ago, before he
had finished school. I do hope it will
not be that long before Brother Willie
comes again. It will be four years
since he was here, if I am not mista
ken.
I have been at home all this sum
mer and have spent most of my idle
moments in reading. There is not any
thing I enjoy more. Seems like Ruth
Strickland and I have been reading
the same books. “Grace Truman” is
fine, but don’t know that it is more
instructive than “Theodosia Earnest.”
I have also read “Surrey of Eagles’
Nest.”
As this is my first attempt, I will
try not to tire you any longer. Best
wishes.

BEAUTIFUL WELCOME AND SUG
GESTIONS.
Dear Little Mother: So at last we
have been given our great surprise
that Brother Willie has had in store
for us so long, and indeed a surprise
it was; but let us assure you a most
hearty welcome in our little corner.
I know we shall miss Brother Willie’s
sweet talks to us each week and must
insist on his dropping in once and a
while for a little chat, to show that
he hasn't forgotten us.
And a second pleasant surprise was,
that The Golden Age is to remain in
Georgia. I regretted so much to see
it move to Texas, yet I know it would
have done a great work there as it
is sure to do wherever it goes. But
there is much to be done here yet, it
seems to me. I think everybody
should try to make a better paper of
it now than it has ever been before.
So now, let’s go to work hard to
help our new “Little Mother” make a
fine department of this, a helpful one,
by which each one of us may be bene
fited and entertained. Let’s every
one try to get a new member each
week, and have just the coziest little
corner, where we can come and talk
over our little troubles and joys,
and get “Little Mother” to tell us
some of the plans she has for us. Then
possibly some time later we can re
organize “The Order of The Golden
Age”—all of us get those cute little
pins they used to have and make
Agnes Tyler’s dream come true in a
great “Meet” in Atlanta. My, but I
see visions of a banquet, an address
by our Brother Willie, a welcome from
our “Little Mother,” recitations, ora
tions, a trip to some one of Atlanta’s
beautiful parks—but there —I’d better
stop. My air castle, or my day dream
might get too great a tumble —but
why not —why couldn’t we do all this?
It would be just grand!
Yes, Julia Lane, I quite agree with
you on the study of nature. I think
it must be a hard heart indeed, that
does not appreciate its wonderful
works; what is more beautiful? Os
all the great inventions and achieve
ments of men, nothing has ever sur
passed nature’s great handiwork.
What can bring sweeter, nobler,
purer thoughts than the fragrance of
the beautiful flowers, or gazing on
the seemingly unusual beauty of the
golden setting sun, of these “glorious,
autumn days? My, what a great study
it all is; how much we should enjoy
it! Sincerely, your little country sis
‘ ter, “GIPSY.”
*
Dear “Little Mother”: I for one, was
caught in the great surprise, for I was
so sure our dear Golden Age was go
ing to Texas, I never thought of
these changes. Nevertheless I am
pleased with affairs, only I want more
of our boys and girls to write. I had
become so accustomed to Brother Wil
lie’s pleasant chats, I will miss them
I know, but then our “Little Mother”
will not let us get lonesome or dis
couraged.
What has become of so many of our
writers? Let’s all try to make our
page the best of all, and may we strive
to live a useful life like our editor,
always trying to do the greatest good
for our fellow man. While we can’t
claim his time, I am glad he is spend
ing it fighting the great demon drink.
Would to God it was swept out of all
the land, for it sinks more souls to
torment than anything else. Just
think of the dear boys and, I am
ashamed to say it, some precious girls
too, that fill drunkards’ graves each
year. It is enough to make any of
us willing to join in the fight. So
while we can’t go with Brother Wil
lie and make prohibition speeches in
Texas, we can pray for him that he
may make a great success and that
the great state Texas may win the
battle that Georgia has.
Bartlett Kelly, come often. I enjoy
your letters very much. I have you
in mind as a bright youth fighting to
reach the top and I am sure of your
success.

Dear Bro. Willie:
When you were here last year you
made us a talk at the Springfield
school and asked us to write to you
one year from that time if we remem
bered your motto.
I am now in the eighth grade at
Springfield school, and Mrs. Ruther
ford is our principal.
1 have many times thought of you
and the excellent motto you gave us —
“Let nothing discourage you, never
give up.” Hoping you are well, and
wishing for The Golden Age, and espe
cially our page, every kind of success,
I am yours truly,
Richard E. Brown.

A WINDER MEMORY.
Dear Brother Willie: I thought I
would write you a few lines to let you
hear from me and know I was think
ing of you. I want you to come up to
our school when you can. Miss Mattie
Woodruff is my teacher. She is a
sweet, kind teacher to me. I cer
tainly had a splendid time at the fair
yesterday. There was so much to be
seen and learned. I will write down
the motto you gave us, hoping it will
help some one who has not heard it:
“Let- nothing discourage you; never
give up.” I will stop for this time.
Glad that I can add my little effort
toward making our department a sue-

VICTORY OVER DEATH.
Oh dreadful death, unwelcomed death,
Why comest thou to me?
Thou seemest always hovering nigh,
Away! away with thee!
Who gave thee thy undaunted pow’r?
Is there no hand to stay
Thy mighty arm, no pow’r to check
Thy long unrivalled sway?
Why do I ask who gave thee pow’r?
Alas! alas! ’twas man
Who gave thee pow’r to rule the
world
With such relentless hand.
Boast not thyself, oh monster grim,
The time will come some day,
When thou shalt lose thy mighty
pow’r,
Thy long and mighty sway.
Praise God! the time will come some
day,
When all the saints shall sing,
“O grave, where is thy victory,
O death, where is thy sting!”
“O death, thou hast no victory,”
The dead in Christ shall sing,
“For when he died upon the cross,
He robbed thee of thy sting!”
