Route One,
A very enjoyable occasion was
that of the childrens exercises at
the Providence Methodist church
on last Sunday. Quite a large
crowd attended and all report a
good time ‘‘with plenty to eat.”
The exercises were splendid and
especially the song by six little
girls, and all went home wishing
children’s day would come often
er.??
On last Tuesday May 7, the
death angels came into our midst
and claimed for its own our dear
friend, Mr. Wesley Dorminey of
near Bethlehem. Mr. Dorminey
had been confined to his bed for
six weeks and death came as a
relief to his suffering. Mr. Dor
miney lived to enjoy many of
God’s rich blessings as he was near’
his 82 birthday and is survived by
his wife and 9 children and a host
of friends to mourn his death,
The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away Blessed be his name.”
Mr. Tom Wilcox made a flying
trip out to Mr. 4. W, Fullers

Chat With My Many Friends
Let us build our house on the
hill top of cheerfulness, so high
that po shaddows may rest upon
it and where the morning comes
early and the evening tarries late,
She is to be pities whose house is
in some vailey of grief with the
longest night and the shortest day.
God has put us here to make the
world brighter and happier by our
lives and every one of us should
study how to be a blessing. to oth
ers, We must get the wrinkles
out of our brow and have smiling
faces. Let a man go home at night
worn and weary by the toils of tne
day and how soothing 1s & word
dictated by a cheerful disposition,
It is sunshipe falling on his heart,
He is happy, and the cares of life
are forgotten. Smiles, kind words
and looks characterize the children
and peace and love have their
dwelliags there. Home should be
the center of joy. -
Habits of neatness, thriit, order
and economy should be among the
first lessons of life, Girls should
pever know that there is such a
thing as babitual disorder. Comn
fortable system and well-consider
ed prudence are among uthe giils
and graces that go to make up the
useful and beautiful woman. A
careless woman can never be
wholly attractive, The eye rests
at once upon some evidence of
untidiness and the charm is des
troyed, - Giris and boys, too, for
that matter, should have the im
portance of personal tidiness and
neatness early impressed uapon
