with the depressive passion. It is the
tenderest expression of love. If tears
of love or sympathy spring to the
eyes, do not repress them; do not be
ashamed of them; they are like dew
from heaven and promote the growth
of the soul.
“Neither must friendly rivalry, nor
ambition to excel, be classed as ag
gressions; as they are phases of
growth.
“The disposition of me emancipated
is to switch the current of the Divine
Spark (which is the eneigy of man)
on to wires that connect with motors
belted to good acts, and good thoughts,
and worthy appreciation, and to cut
out the circuits of worry and anger
and their branch lines entirely, leav
ing them to rust and decay through
disuse.”
Little Mother, don’t you think that
book was worth reading? 1 hope these
scraps from it will be of some benefit
to some one, but the book will have
to be read to be appreciated.
Sister Margaret, I had the sweetest
dream of you and Brother Willie last
night. It was so deep upon my mind
that when I awoke it seemed as though
something real had happened. This
is my first visit since you came to
our department, and I extend to you
a hearty welcome. You may be sure

that I have a large corner in my heart
for you.
Bartlett Kelly, I enjoyed your letter
on the re-unions. I intend to give
some sketches of what 1 have read
of those brave heroes of the sixties,
but my letter has already grown too
long.
Did you all know that tomorrow
(July 22) will be the anniversary of
that bloody battle, fought in Atlanta
in 1864? I read an account of that
battle by L. P. Thomas, Sr., that was
published several years ago in which
he said the cost to oui' people was
3,722 killed, wounded and prisoners,
and that he entertained no doubt but
that the enemy sustained an aggregate
loss of fully 8,000 men.
just forty-five years ago there was
many dead and dying upon the battle
field, and many sad and sorrowing
wives, mothers, sisters, and sweet
hearts for their lost loved ones, where
today dwells happiness and prosperity.
With lots of good wishes for each
and every one of you, I am
HARLOW MEADOW.
Colbert, Ga.
R
GOOD AND EVIL INFLUENCES.
Dear Little Mother:
Heeding your request, I am sending
you an essay. May it start a tiny,
helpful wavelet somewhere.
I fancy every one possesses more or
less influence for either good or evil.
I do not think we ever fully realize
just what our influence really is, or
how far it may, and often does, ex
tend.
Sometimes a chance word spoken
thoughtlessly may make or mar a
life; may raise a soul to the sunlight
ed heights, or plunge it beneatn the
darkening shadows that are ever hov
ering around.
More or less hope and despair comes
to us all sooner or later, and if we
would oftener weigh our thoughts,
words and actions perhaps we would
send out more hope, and stimulate
some weaker nature to higher, nobler
resolves. A ripple on the water’s
smooth surface widens and extends
far beyond its starting point; and so,
may our influence reach far o’er life’s
restless tide, shaping, perhaps many
lives.
Speak words and sentiments that
elevate, that tend to raise to higher
planes, and we are benefactor of
human hearts and lives; while, on tne
other hand, let Jail thoughts tarnished
with evil and human nature, always
prone to err, will utimately retrograde.
If we pause to ponder we will realize
how far-reaching and widespread is
influence, and when cast from one life
upon another it should always be
pure, true and beneficial, though
more’s the pity it is not always so.
But, we have not time to think, we
are hurried, careless, thoughtless and

our words, acticns and influence are
far too often injurious, where they
should be helpful. Then, let what we
write be uplifting to any heart Inal is
wearied ,or any soul that is cast down.
It is so difficult sometimes to do or
say just the right thing, especially in
some crisis of human weakness; but,
a little thought or care, or a prayer
to the Divine Helper will, I am sure,
give us light.

THE CHILD AND THE MOON.
T was past his bed-time, but Tom
my insisted on sitting up. “My
eyes won’t stay shut,” he declared.
“The pigeons are all asleep” said
his mother, “up in the pigeon house.
‘Cco-roo, cco-roo, good-night,’ they
said; and they tucked their heads un
der their wings.”
“But 1 do not want to go to sleep,”
said the little child.
“The little red calf is asleep in the
barn,” said the mother; “and the
lambs are asleep on green clover
beds;” and she put the child in his
own white bed.
It was a soft, downy bed close be-

side a window, but the child did not
want to lie there. He tossed about
under the coverlet, and the tears were
beginning to run down his cheeks
when, all at once, tne moon looked
in at the window.
“There!” said his mother. “The
moon has come to tell you good-night.
See how it is smiling.”
The moon shone right into the
child’s eyes. “Good-night, little child,
sleep well,” it seemed to say.
“Good-night,” said he; and he lay
still on his bed, and watched the
moon while his mother sang:
Lovely moon, lovely moon, smiling on
