Fellow Carriers:
The time is fast approaching for
our annual district conventions, and
as spring opens up, many of us will
feel the urge to get out on the firing
line and round up the largest rnem-
bership that we have had in the as
sociation.
. am sincere in the belief that we
will need the united efforts of every
carrier in the land, more in the future
than we have ever needed them in
the past, and we are all ready to agree
that our association has been one of
the leading factors in making the
service the best in history and has
been the means of bettering our con
dition from time to time. There may
be some that think that the associa
tion will not help us, due to the fact
that we are being called upon tb take
another reduction in 'salary, but i
want to assure you that this is not
the case. The present administration
has started out with the determina
tion to end the depression and balance
the budget, and they are .calling on
every class of employe to contribute
their part and I am sure that the
rural carriers are willing to bear
their part of tile burden and still car
ry on “Service With a Smile" and the
only thing that we ask for is that we
are given the same treatment that
other employes are given.
hope tiiat each county secretary
upon us. They all are of one accord
and agree that the carriers must
stand united, or else tney will lose
all the accomplishments of the past
which have been attained through loy
alty to the association. Your asso
ciation officers are unmistakably on
the job looking out for every oppor
tunity to use tiieir efforts and. influ
ence for your good, and they deserve
your loyalty. They are on the job
right now, and plans of procedure in
the present crisis which confronts us
is 'being worked out, and they earnest
ly solicit and urge your full co-oper
ation in any plan that is sent to you.
To accomplish anytning worth while
we ail realize that co-operation on
the part of all interested is necessary
to make a success. The success of
the accomplishments of the associa
tion in the past has thoroughly Uem-
onstrated this; so if you are called
upon in the near future don’t fail
them. Give them the material to work
with, and they can really get results
for you, otherwise they cannot, ana
no one will be to blame for it except
the individual. In the meantime, let
us all get set, resolved within our
selves that we will do our part. Ana

District President Writes
Boston, Ga.
Dear Brother Wall:
In compliance with your request, I
will give you some information re
garding our Second District conven
tion. Tlie May 30 meeting of our as
sociation will convene in Bainbridge,
Decatur County. Brother J. E. Mob
ley, of that place, is chairman of
the program and arrangements com
mittee. Bainbridge is a nice little
city located in one of the best coun
ties of Georgia. Its people , are noted
for their hospitality and generosity.
It is easy to reach with “mail bug
gies” as it is connected with several
paved highways.
Those of us who know Bainbridge
are glad of this opportunity to spend
the day in this wonderful little city
the guests of its citizenry. With
Brother Mobley, supported by his able
associates, an enjoyable occasion is
assured to all rural letter carriers,
their families and friends who attend
and as y° ur president, and more es
pecially as your brother in the serv
ice, let me urge every carrier in the
Second District to begin now making
plans to go.
First—Because of the fact that it
always does each of us good to as-
socaite with each other. The fellow
ship we enjoy is surpassed by no or
ganization. Ideal exchanged are of
inestimable value to the rural carrier
who really wants to be an efficient
and first-class “penny fisher.”
Second—Because these are trying
times we now have upon us and no
one can predict accurately what the
future holds in store for us. We are
rendering a service for the rural pop
ulation of this country second to none.
Always willing to bear our part of
the burden of balancing the budget;
loyal to our patrons, loyal to our
government, but tomorrow we may be
snatched from our place we have
earned not by "pulling political prop
aganda” at the expense of some oth
er, but by undergoing a test of in
telligence and of character. The ma
jority have been tried by the many
years of faithful service and have
been found worthy, which is the most
vital important requisite in the per
formance of any government service
or otherwise.
Let us hope that our present .con
gress will display as much wisdom in
dealing with the present problem as
did their predecessors when they in
augurated the rural free delivery mail
sendee. They recognized the wisdom

duty, it will make it easy on your
district officers, as well as the state
officers, and this matter can be at
tended to before our district conven

day together on May 30 and not work

er matters.
I hope that each carrier will con
sider it his duty to see that every
(Prom Christian Science Monitor,
Published by Request)
Most persons love the spring-time,
for it typifies so much that is good-
It brings a sense of freshness, of ex
pectancy, of youth renewed—almost a
feeling of new birth. Surely it is pos
sible for mankind to retain this thru
all the seasons.
In the Christian Science textbook
“Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” Mary Baker Eddy says
sp. 470), “Man is the expression of
God’s being,” and (p. 481), “God’s
being is infinity, freedom, harmony,
and boundless bliss.” Thus divine
Mind, God, contains Himself all glo
rious, perpetual, and radiant quali
ties; and the spiritual, real man, the
child of God, the likeness of God,
eternally expresses all good qualities,
including those which spring ana
youth so aptly typify and symbolize.
While the confident expectancy of
youth, with its assurance of great
achievement and endless opportunity,
and also the renewed and hopeful
sense of joy, which comes with
spring, are good in their way, they
are , fleeting because founded on
materiality—on the temporary beliefs
of life and intelligence as supposedly
existent in matter.
True and enduring enthusiasm,
buoyance, anticipation of good, in
terest, anj j°y> on the other hand,
are not dependent on seasonal con
ditions or on matter. When we realize
that, because they are really qualities
of true consciousness, attributes of
divine Mind, ours to cultivate through
all the months of all the years, we
shall be able to retain and increase
them. Neither years nor lack of years
can interfere with our expression of
the qualities of divine consciousness.
That ability is linked with the meas
ure of our understanding of God
.good, So, whatever may be the sum of
our human years, and whatever may
be the season, we can learn to retain
all that is good and spiritual in the
sense of spring and youth, while at
the same time rightly evaluating the
wisdom, mercy, and dominion which
experience brings. One need not
crowd out the other; both mental
states are included in the complete
reflection of the Mind which is God
Men too often let the mental mists
of disappointment, materiality, self
ishness, and loneliness obscure the
springlike attributes in consciousness,
Truly, then, as Christ Jesus told Nic
odemus, we “must be bom again’’
but the birth to which he referred
was purely spiritual, a mental ren
aissance. Mrs. Eddy says (Miscellan
eous Writings, p. 15): “The new birth
is not the work of a moment. It be
gins with moments, and goes on with
years; moments of surrender to God,
of childlike trust and joyful ddoptibn
of good; moments of self-abnegation
self-consecration, heaven-born hope
and spiritual love.”
The material mortal concept of
man is always imperfect. According
to this concept one lacks either the
wisdom and experience erroneously
ascribed to mere years, or felse the
joy, energy, and freedom wrongly
supposed to belong mainly to youth.
The man God made and knows, on
the other hand, is always complete.
The real man, who is the image of
God, is ageless, eternal. “The radiant
sun of virtue and truth coexists with
being. Manhood is its eternal noon,
undimmed by a declining sun”
(Science and Health, p. 246). The real
man, then, is not approaching perfec
tion or receding therefrom; he is
neither immature nor deteriorating.
He has “neither beginning of days,
nor end of life; but is made like unto
tion of the system, which has been a . the Son of God.”

I WANT TO GO FISHING
(By Hiram Smith)
I want to forget all about the vex
ing problems of life and 8° fishing.
Fishing is the gentle art of doing
nothing. And to do nothing in these
strenuous loud days is an accomplish
ment indeed.
I want to go off and sit down on
some soft green mossy spot under
the beech trees where I can drop my
hook in some deep clear pool. I want
the water to run back up stream in
one of those fascinating little eddys
where the big fish swim. It will not
be ideal spot for fishing unless the
contrary current forms little whirl
pools of white foam flecked water
that is colored red by swirling
threads of swaying new fallen maple
blossoms. And then I shall want the
sunlight in the pool, want it to shine
down in the clear depths of the
water and reveal a flashing little
green leaf sailing by in the swift cur
rent. Then joy of all joys will be
mine if I can catch a glimpse of the
shadowy form of some great trout,
or big fat bream as he slowly swims
by.
When you are all ‘set” at such a
place and your cork is floating round
nd round in the pool, and some fish
jerks it under quick as a wink, then
the whole world is transmuted, elec
trified, and transformed. It may be
some six-inch big headed mud cat or
worthless hickory Bha that is biting
your hook but the fisherman cares
not. Like our dream of the pot of
gold at the rainbow’s end we think
the unexpected will happen, and as
the cork goes down we are always
sure that we are going to catch a
whale.
If to the list of joys mentioned
above there is added the mystical
charm of a warm sweet day in May,
then life for the fisherman is glori
ous indeed. Just loafing an<j lazing
and dreaming; filling the lungs with
the pure freshness of the outdoors;
the senses ravished by the elusive
odor of sweet shrubs and blossoming
haw; that is fishing—
I want to go a fishing.

You can't always tell what people

He went to the schoolroom. The lid

Science and Health men can leam to
know God, can realize the presence of
eternity instead of time, can glimpse
something of the Father’s infinite
provision for His children, and let
simplicity, strength, and boundless
gratitude fill their thoughts. A sense
of eternal spring, of fadeless youth,
is the permanent possession of the
one who thus habitually joins with
the Psalmist in his declaration, “This

of themselves do not give or take
away any good, but that spiritual un
derstanding adds true wisdom to the
spontaneity of true youth. Spiritual
enthusiasm, confident expectancy,
and .childlike trust express good, ra

worth working for, worth persistent,

and thus from experience. For the
