PAGE rwo THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTLER, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 15, 1932. REYNOLDS DEPARTMENT Conducted by Civic Improvement Club of Reynolds IN PRAISE OF WORDS 1 (Eleanor G. R. Young) This afternoon I heard a Poet read Taylor Mill News her verses; Sitting in a bright room where climbed across the curtain tops And framed a picture of pale blos soming trees, I heard 'delightful bits of imagery, Saw quiet pictures of frail loveliness Like pale pastels that haunt one’s memory. And, suddenly, my heart was full of joy— That someone else had heard the wpid’s wild song And put its blustering music into voids; That someone else had seen a lonely star And made .a song about its twinkling light; ' That someone else had watched a • reddening sun Rise in bright triumph from the arms of Night. At times words have seemed empty, futile things That icould not tell the heart’s aroused delight; But, as I listened a few hours ago To words that seemed to gayly dance and glow Through every stanza, every lifting line, I sang a little song all to myself— A song-of gladness for the boundless wealth Of words— Words that go singing on in sparkl ing streams To frame the pictures of a Poet’s dream.

The odor of falling leaves are passing through my win dows, books my silent friends are scattered all about me. They never scold me. I love them. They come to me when I reach for them. I travel over many lands, imaginary, when I read them. Another great pleasure to me are letters. One can never, never measure the influence that a few words put to just a white sheet of paper may have. In my books are* letters that have come from presidents, great actors, writers, explorers and thinkers. I treasure them. They were written to give encouragement and to offer ap preciation. I have a very large bun dle of old letters I love very dearly. Very often I take them out and they have that fragrant smell of love. A letter is a very simple thing, but I had rather have it as a gift from an appreciative human being than all the gol that has ever been mined. Seem ingly just a white sheet of paper with something on it that has come from a human heart, doesn’t appear on its face to amount to much, but—just ask the one who received it! Books and letters have proven to be fine friends but the greatest of all is the friendliness of a human being. the life of every man when he has been willing to stake reputation, credit, all, on the true friendship of some companion; but he .turns to find his idol clay, the gold hut dross. Few person are so fortunate as to secure in the course of life the happiness and advantages of one devoted friend. Friendship is a vase which,when it is flawed by violence or accident, may as well be broken at once; it never can be trusted after. The more graceful and ornamental it was, the more clearly do we discern the hopefulness of restoring it to its former state, coarse stones, if they are fractured, may be cemented again; precious ones never. False friends are like our shadows—keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade. False friendships, like the ivy, decays and runins the walls it em braces; but true friendship gives new life to the object it supports. Cling to your friends -after having chosen'them with proper caution. If they reprove you, thank them; if they grieve you forgive them; if circum stances have torn them from you, cir cumstances may change and make them yours again. Be very slow to give up an old and tried friend. A true friend is such a rare thing to COUSIN JOE’S Weekly Letter To His Farmer Friends Well, Cousin Charles, I discussed last week with you some things that I thought it took to make a man what God intended him to be. I be lieve I told you that I probably would discuss this matter further in this week’s letter if I wasn’t mobbed for my blasphemy. Well, I wasn’t mob bed, and to tell the whole truth, my letter was ignored completely with one exception. Just one party said anything to me about it; so I am at a loss to know how to discuss it further this week. I don’t know if I took you out so far that you haven’t gotten back to shore, or whether you con- tal as God. If God is eternal r ; h If thlS greatest nation’of-G* has the same attributes as hi.t - then why doesn’t he profit by them' I say because he refuses to L otP „T' his greatness. If our govTZ' should send one of our statesmen t! some foreign country as its repr es en tative we would expect him to Pet " form the work for which he was sent If he failed he would be recalled, am you will agree with me that such Bhould be the case. Well, God has sent man into this world with a far more important mission than any govern ment could give, and He sends him fully equmped to perform this mis- sion. So every man is an •ambassador of God. If he doesn’t fill this high office he will be recalled and some one else sent in his place. Well Cousin Charles, are you asking me what mission God has sent you on? If so, I will tell you. What I consider sider me such a fool that you don’t yoU r greatest mission and if you consider my views worth noticing.

It has ma J° rit y of men if ^ P° s8ess but notable effects upon all states and conditions. It relieves our cares, raises our hopes, and abates our fears. one such. . Old friends! What -a multitude, of emotions are called up ’from the soul by the utterance of these two words! The language of friendship isas vari- What wonderful memories of other ed as the wants -and weaknesses of days «‘ owd brain when they are spoken! Oh, there is magic in their humanity. To the timid and cautious it speaks words of encouragement. To the weak it is ready to extend a helping hand. To the bold and ven turesome it whispers words of cau tion. It is ready to sympathize with the sorrowing one, and to rejoice with those of good cheer. Friendship is not confined to any particular class of society or any particular geo graphical locality. No surveyed chart, no natural boundary line, no rugged mountain or steep declining vale puts a limit to its growth. Wherever it ts watered with the dews of kindness sound, and the thoughts that arise are both sad and pleasing. When mem ory -brings before us the scenes of by gone years, how the features of olden friends, dim and shadowy as thp grave in’ which many of them are laid, flit before us! How they carry us to other scenes and other places! Concerning the one you call your friend, tell us, will he weep with you in your hours of distress? Will he dare to stand forth in your defense when detraction is secretly aiming its weapon at your reputation?

Here and there we find people who, from pride or singularity of dispo sition, to be altogether independent of the notice or regard of their fellow beings; but never yet was there a hu man heart that did not at some time, in some tender and yearning hour, long for the sympathy of other hearts. True friendship can only be molded by the experience of time. The at tractive face, the winning tongue, or the strong need of sense passer-by i- not the peruiMient test of the uni vn of hearts. Tnere have been times ill ure in professing himself your friend and cheerfully assist t^ support the burden of your afflictions ? When sickness shall call you to retire from the busy world, will he follow you to your gloomy retreat, listen with • at tention to your tale of suffering, and administer the balm of consolation to your fainting spirit? And, lastly, when death shall burst asunder every earthly tie, and he shed a tear upon your grave, and lodge the dear membrance of your mutual friendship in his heart? If so, then grapple him to your heart with hooks of steel; and you shall know the privilege of having one true friend.

If you do consider me a fool I want to say that I am not the average fool for I don’t fall out with you because you don’t agree with me in everything I say. Its my experience that most people think that if you think and do everything just as they do and as oth ers do that you are wrong. Well, I am not one of these people. I don’t expect every one to see things as I do. I don’t want them to and if they did I would feel that I was wasting my time discussing things with them. If I can’t offer some thought that will better the world, what use am I to the world? If I am a descendant of that God-like man and woman that we discussed last week then I have a mission in this world and should be able to fill it so that people will rec ognize me. If I fail to be recognized then I am not discharging my duty to the world nor to my self. 'I nevei admired the Texas cow boy, -but I did admire one of his characteristics, you knew when he came to town. I admire a gentleman and no gentle man is rough or uncouth in anything he does but people will recognize him anywhere they see him. In this con nection I want to define -the wortl gentleman as I understand the term: He is a man who respects other peo ple’s rights and opinions, always works -to better the conditions Of his fellow man and has force of charac ter enough to make himself an out standing man wherever he finds him self. When I look for a gentleman I don’t consider the clothes he wears, the place he occupies in society, nor the money he possesses. If these things made a gentleman then A1 Capone and the ex-mayor of New York, Mr. Walker, were the real stuff. No, both of these characters can wear good clothes and have money, but it takes far more than that to make a gentleman as I see him, and I believe you see him in the same light. Well, Cousin Charles, perhaps you think that 1 have gotten off the sub ject of the greatest thing God has ever made or will ever make, by de fining a ginleman as I see him. Not so, for God makes gentlemen, not the place he occupies in business, in pol itics, in society, in religion, in science or any other vocation in life. No sir God makes gentlemen. Now if you have gotten back to shore without drowning we will take another plunge out beyond the brakers where .the waves roll high and you have plenty of room between you and the bottom I don’t like the bottom of anything for when you get to it you can’t go any further. I don’t like the idea of stopping short of anything but heav en. There is no bottom or top to,-any thing this side of heaven, and that is the only thing that I propose to stop at. Well, Cousin Charles, suppose we look a little further into the greatest thing God ever made: By the way perhaps you had better get your life preserver this time for hip boots may aot be suitable for the depths we will encounter on this trip. I believe in be ing prepared for any emergency don’t you ? I don’t want to go off in a ear, not even an old Model T without a jack and pump and a few wrenches not even if you repair them with piece of hay wire. So lets be prepared that we will'be sure of getting back. Cousin Charles, you remember last week I told you that I was going to take issue with a statement in the Bible where it said that God made man a little lower than the angels. I am going to indulge in some more of this same kind of stuff. As I have said above, I believe I have a mission in thewo rid and if 1 can’t provoke men to think I don’t believe I will be dis charging this mission. The world has made its progress so far on new knowledge, and if we expect to get any further we will have to learn something that we don’t know. Now here goes: Man is as immor- you out into the world. I don’t thin! he did this. I understand that it is generally understood that man is subject to his environments and the circumstances under which he has to work. If he is, then he is not the great creation that I claim him to be, and think that I have proven him to be by evidence that can’t be disputed. Cousin Charles, I see that I will have to continue this discussion next week, or it will be so long that you may get tired of reading it. Then, too the editor may refuse me space and that would be a calamity. We have, in' some measure prepared the way for Borne further thought on this line tad will endeavor -to do some next week; so just lay your life preserver aside for this time and don’t forget where you put it for I promise you that you are almost sure to have need of it You may have two instead of one to fetch back to shore, so don’t go un prepared, will you? So long Cousin Charles .until next week. Cousin Joe. i Ripley tells us there is a colored window-washer in Brooklyn named Roosevelt Garner. Evidently he has a good chance to climb. When a man says he will beg be fore he will work for a dollar a day, he convicts himself of not wanting to work at all for any sum. And he also lays himself open to the su spicion that he would be inclined to steal.—Ex. ASSESSMENT UPON SHAREHOLDERS TREASURY DEPARTMENT Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, D.
