8 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. “WEEDS,” Os course like every other boy or girl you have destroyed thousands of them. Wap it wise?

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. ’’ !

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.
