The Constitution, Jr
Conaucted by Mrs. Wm. King, 480 Courtland Ave., Atlanta, Ga
WE THANK THEE.
For the flower and for the fruitage.
For the struggle and reward.
For the lessons they have taught us.
With full hearts we thank thee. Lord.
For the love of home and kindred.
And the deeper love of thine.
Fo r the days of vernal brightness
And the days that know no shine;
For the hearts that wo hate gladdened
By a deed or word of cheer;
For the friend that whispered, "Courage,"
When our souls -were weak with fear:
For e. world of grace and beauty.
That bespeaks thy matchless care;
For the hope that cheers and blesses
Os enotiier yet more fair.
]x» on bended knee wo offer
Love's oblation. Lord, today,
Thou hast kept thus far our footsteps.
Guide and keep through all the way.
—Eva Williams Malone.

his character. A boiler is 'full of steam,
just let it alone arid it Wil Itear every
thing to pieces, it is a “weed” having its
own way. But the engineer controls it,
directs it and the locomotive speeds
through the' country. It is the same
steam only properly used. Temper con
trolled, directed, makes a strong, active
life.
Are there aux "weeds'- tn us that ought
to be destroyed? If they cannot be
trained to make our characters beautiful
and useful to the world, they must be
rooted out, they are poisonous “weeds"
which like other weeds will grow in
God's garden, our inner lives. If we do not
utilize or destroy them.

water in the watermelon?
If a goat should swallow a rabbit,
what would bo the result?
Tiie discoveries of science are wonder
ful. Can you telephone from a train
going at the rate of 60 miles an hour?
Why are two laughing girls like the
wings of a thicken? This is older than
any chicken.
Why Is it no living person can have a
nose 12 Inches long?
Uncle Will sends you some conundrums.
See how many of them you cun answer.
JUNIOR CORRESPONDENTS.
Our young friends often write *in<l com
plain tha tth'ir letters do not appear.
We often hear this: “This is the third
letter I have written and have never
seen one In print.’’ All three of those
letters were written on both sides of the
paper and we have told you again and
again that printers will not accept such
letters. Many are written with pencil
and nearly rubbed out when they reach
us. Some of these letters contain these
words: “We are so sorry Aunt Susie
is suffering with hep eyes." Well, it
don’t look like it, ami if you wore to see
some of the letters I have to read you
would only wonder 1 had any eyes at all.
We have now a very Interesting letter
from Waiter T. Andrews, Moro castle,
Santiago. Cuba, full of good things, but
closely written on both sides of his pa
per. so it cannot lie printed. Hope he
will see this and write again.
The object of our page is to improve
;on In the art of letter writing, as to
expression, punctuation and neatness and
a legible hand. Let us see if we cannot
do better in future and give us short,
well expressed and real newsy letters.
Wo will lot subjects rest for awhile, and
lot the older folks write the sermons and
temperance lectures, etc.
“AUNT SUSIE. ’’

Iceivcd another such good b'tter from Cal

D. No. I -Dear Junior: t’m a stranger
to your circle, nevertheless 1 will write
on a subject, “The Sublimity of Bower.’’
X J owcr is a sublime thing, it is the au
thority which c.tnlrols. A ruler is looked
upon with awe ami reverence, for w>.
must respect Hie power widi li Ims und> r
its sway the lives and property of a pop-
I illation, if we wish to attain the power
of ruling, we should tjrst learn to rule
■<-ur own actions mid thoughts. For it
Is this sSrolitne. power time distinguishes
man from the brute creation. “H-. that
ruleth his spirit is said, to tie mightier
than he that taketh a city.” We ate pos
sess Ute sublime power of influence, and
who can tell how great tills power is. It
is all that is left of us when we die.
It lives on through the ceaseless ages of
eternity, irrevocable ami uncliangeable. :
| for mint can. neither control or prevent :
his influence after death. Huxv careful
, we should be to use the sublime power
of influence lor goo-1, that, we may sway
the scepter yf right when our feebl ■
ft antes are. no more. We. should also cul
tivate the power of the intellect, which
Is a power of happiness to ns and these
around us. But the sublimity of power
does not end in man. it reaches its
greatest height anil completion in God.
'i'ii-- most sublime of all powers is t:ia,t
of Christ, to quit gl'-ry and lav •*<;'> His
life that wo might be washed in His I
I lood and cleansed from the foul polu
tlon of sin. It xvas the sublime power
of God which gave us our all. The pow- i
er which spread out tlm expanse of blue
ether. and spangled it with shining
worlds. Surely there is great subiimitx- in
power. Ret us all thank our Creator for I
it. and fry to use what power Is given
us for the greatest good. Correspondence
desired.
