SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Dec. 2.—Acts 2:1-8:1. .
BY DR. MARION McH. HULU
Golden Text: “Whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved.” Acts 2:21.
The church was born fifty days
after Jesus was crucified, when the
Holy Spirit descended and filled the
one hundred and twenty disciples
gathered in that, upper room for
prayer. There were believers in
God in the Old Testament days, but
they were not members of the church
of Christ —they were not the “called
out” ones, the “ecclesia.” They
were subjects of the Jewish king
dom, members of the theocracy.
When Jesus came He preached, as
John Baptist had done before Him,
the gospel of the Kingdom. “Re
pent for the Kingdom of Heaven is
at hand.” The King has come to
take His throne and reign over His
subjects, and fulfill all the promises
that God had made with an oath to
give to His servant David —to estab
lish his house, and his throne and
his kingdom forever. But the sub
jects rejected the king, they would
not have this man to reign over
them. He began, therefore, to train
a little group to carry on the work
that He was beginning.
Shortly before He gave up His
life for them on the cross He told
them FJe would build His church—
the new movement —on the confes
sion of faith in Him as the Son of
God, the Christ, as Peter had just
expressed it; and the balance of His
ministry was with His own disciples
training them for the work they
were to do after He left them and
until He should return.
After His resurrection He appear
ed to them a number of times, and
at the last appearance gave them a
command. They did not think for a
they were very dull. Even then they
still misunderstood Him and asked
Him if at that time He would re
store the Kingdom to Israel. You
see. they were Jews, and for genera-
they nad been taught the un
conditional promises that God had
made to David and had confirmed
them with an oath. The land had
been unconditionally given to Abra
ham and his seed in perpetuity; and
now the Romans were in possession
of it. The house of David was to
be established, and now an hated
usurper, an Asmonean, Herod, was
on His throne. The Kingdom of
David was to be an everlasting
kingdom, and now Rome was in
command. They did not thing for a
moment that God would not keep
His promises, and they confidently
expected Him to restore the King
dom to Israel. They had had great
hopes that this would be the time,
and that He, the Son of David and
Son of God, would be the One to do
it, for even the enemies of Jesus
never doubted for one moment that
He had the right to the throne of
David. Had there been any flaw in
His genealogy they would have
shown it uj?.
Their hopes had been blasted when
He was crucified, but now they had
been revived since they had seen
Him alive again. Would He at this
time restore the Kingdom to Israel
as God had sworn to David?
He was vefy patient with their
great dullness. He did not chide
them. He did not explain, for they
could not understand His plan just
now about the church —for it was a
“mystery,” a hidden secret, that had
not beeil revealed in the Old Testa
ment at all. He merely said very
quietly, "It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons which the
Father hath put in His own power.
But ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost has come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me
in Jerusalem, and in all times, and
in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth.” Then He left
them; and their last sight of Him
was of the nail-pierced feet as the
cloud enveloped Him!
While they were looking up, if
perchance they might see Him if He
appeared again, two angels brought
them a message of hope and inspira-
tlon— “This same Jesus shall so
come in like manner as ye have seen
Him go.” That hope was one of
their sources of power. They never
fogot the sight of the nail-prints nor
the promise of the return.
In obedience to the command that
» He had just given them, they wait
ed for the promise of the Father. It
was ten days before the Day of
Pentecost, the day when the first
fruits of the barley harvest were
gathered; and they waited. When
that day was fully come, the Spirit
of God came down and rested upon
them, and the first fruits of the har
vest of souls that was to make up
the called-out ones was gathered.
Three thousand were converted in
that day. During the days that fol
lowed others were added. The lit
tle company of 120 grew to 5,000,
and daily there were added to the
church such as were being saved.
During the next few years—the
chronology is very difficult; some
think two, some five years—the gos
pel of the grace of God was preached
in Jerusalem only with great power.
A great number of the priests even
were obedient to the faith. Men who
had been cowards became conspicu
• otisly courageous. Peter and John
were the outstanding leaders at first.
Nothing could silence them; the pow
erful Sanhedrim had to content it
self onlj r with warnings; they were
powerless to stop them. Their cour
age was contagious. Men went from
house to house witnessing to the
• resurrection of Jesus, although in
e doing so every one of them took his
lifa in his hands on account of the
bitter hatred of the Sanhedrim.
Soon the number grew so large
that it became necessary to set apart
certain ones to assist in particular
part of the work. That is always
the rc.su It of growth. At first ev
erybody can do everything; but
growth demands organization, dif
ferentiation. Os the seven deacons
who were selected for the particular
work in hand, two became men of
renown—Stephefi and Philip—and
each because of a particular contri-

bution to the power of the early
church.
At that time the gospel was being
preached to none but Jews; but
there were in Jerusalem Jews who
had been born in foreign countries
and Jews who had become such not
by birth, proselytes of the gate.
Stephen had a larger view of the
gospel than could be contained in
a Jewish frame, and his powerful
arguments could not be met by even
such mental giants as Saul of Tar
sus, who was one of the most bigoted
of the bigots, so intensely Jewish
was he. These arguments finally
ended in a bitter persecution which
scattered the disciples of Jesus, the
Christ, everywhere. And everywhere
they went—just ordinary folks, mind
you—they preached the Word. The
word “preached” is interesting in
Greek; it is "laleo,” which describes
what a young child does when he
begins to talk, la-la-lk-la. Do you
catch the truth? These disciples
went everywhere just telling what
they knew in as simple language as
that a child uses in beginning to
talk. You can preach that way, too,
and that is what God wants you to
do. You see Christ was fulfilling
His promise to His people: "Ye shall
receive power—ye shall be witnesses
unto me.” That promise is still
yours.
Stephen thus unconsciously in
augurated a new movement, the next
step in world-wjde missions—going
out of Jerusalem. What about
Philip? In this scattering he got as
far as Samaria. Now, no Jew would
have gone into Samaria deliberately.
But Philip was more than a Jew
now; he was a Christian Jew or an
Hebrew Christian; and the power of
the love of Christ drove him beyond
radical lines. With great power he
preached in Samaria until the Spirit
of God caught him up anl placed him
where he could spread the gospel
through another convert in another
continent.
Thus the early church in from
two to five years did what no other
has done since—evangelized com
pletely two races. Note these evi
dences of its power everybody
preached, everybody gave lavishly,
everybody loved, and everybody
heard, multitudes accepted.
Can we discover the reason for
this power of the early church?
Well, jt was the presence of the Holy
Ghost. Those disciples were with
out strength until He descended
upon them; and all that they ac
complished afterward was because
of His abiding presence and indwell
ing. He it was who brought to their
remembrance the things of Christ;
He it was whp made plain to them
the things that Christ had said; He
it was who gave them boldness to
speak; He it was who gave them
power to convict and to convince;
He it was who made Christ so real
to them that they could make Him
real to others; He it was who kept
alive in their hearts the memory of
those nail-prints and the hop e gen
dered by the promise of His return
at any moment. Ah. there is the
secret—His death, His resurrection,
His ascension, His return. Let these
things grip any man or woman by
the indwelling Spirit—-and it is only
by His indwelling that they will grip
him—and power follows.
The Spirit of God has never left.
He is just as truly in the world to
day as He was in the day of Pente
cost, and just as fully. You may
have His abiding presence and in
filling if you will. He is the gift
of Jesus to every believer, but the
fullness of the Spirit is possible only
to those who yield their all to Him.
You shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
And He will come if you yield your
self to Him rather than seek Him
for the power He will bring. Won’t
you yield yourself wholly to Him?
High Court Upholds
Bastrop Judge and He
Will Resume Hearings
NEW ORLEANS. La., Nov. 23,
The trials in the Morehouse misde
meanor cases growing' out of masked
band activities in the parish last
year, which were interrupted two
weeks ago at Bastrop when counsel
for the defendants attempted to
have Judge Fred M. Odom disquali
fied on the ground that he was
biased and prejudiced, will be re
sumed probably after the holidays
with Judge Odom presiding, the
state supreme court yesterday hav
ing refused to grant the refusal pe
tition.
The court gave no reason for its
ruling except that Judge Odom was
correct in refusing to call in an
other judge to act on the request for
his recusation.
The petition for the judge's dis
qualification was made after Cap
tain J. K. Skipwith, exalted cyclops
of the Morehouse Ku Klux Klan,
and several others had been found
guilty of the misdemeanor with
which they were charged.
Attorney General Coco stated the
trials probably would be taken up
at the term of criminal court begin
ning in Bastrpp January 7.

AUNT JULIA’S COUNCIL
A Friendly Meeting Place for All Tri-Weekly Journal Readers
Bella to all! Hera I coma again after a
few months’ absence. Guess you cousins
remember me. I'm a Georgia girl, but at
present I’m in Florida, teaching school. I
like It just fine here in the Land Os Flow
ers. but, of course, I like my own state ths
best. You girls are always writing about
paint and powder. Why not write about
“cooking?” That's lots more important.
I'm the finest kind of cook. If you don't
believe it, come to see me some time. All
of you cousins send me some songs: Just any
will be appreciated. I want all of you to
be sure and write to me and send me your
picture. I promise to answer all letters or
cards I receive. From a girl, nineteen years
old, who loves everybody,

White Springs, Fla.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousin*: How is
everybody! Fine, I hope. Oh, yes, I agree
with you cousins who think Aunt Julia such
a nice suntie. This Is my first letter to
The Journal, and I truly hope to see It An
print. I wonder what you all are doing.
Going to school, I guess. I am, and In the
sixth grade. We have a farm about threa
mile* east of Sycamore. I like country life
fine. How many of you cousins love flow
ers! I believe most of up do. We have
many flowers and have a lot of compliments
passed on our yard in the summer. What
do you cousins do for pastime? I crochet,
sew, read and can make pine needle bas
kets. Are any of you cousins in the can
ning club? I am. We surely have a nice
demonstration agent, Mrs. May J. Betts.
Some of you may know her. I had one
twentieth acre garden and gathered 1,867%
pounds and canned about ninety cans of
fruit. I won second prize at the Turner
.County fair. My age is between twelve and
fifteen. My birthday is October IS. Have
I a twin? I would appreciate a letter or
card from you cousins, and will answer all
letters received. A new niece and cousin,
(MISS) EDITH WILSON.
Sycamore, Ga., Route 3, Box 14.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Open wide
the door and let a cousin in. I wrote once
before and gave my heartiest thanks to dear
auntie for printing my letter. Dear cousins,
I also thank you who wrote me and you
don't know bow I appreciated your letters.
I live on a farm, and like it very well, hut
often wish I lived in the city. I wonder
who can guess my age, which is between ten
and sixteen. I guess maybe I ean find my
twin somewhere. My birthday is February
9. Write me, twin. I wonder what you
cousins do for pastime. I study and do some
fancy work, but not much. It is very near
Christmas and I guess everyone is making
presents. I go to school and am in the ninth
grade. Bernice Beaty, your letter was fine,
and I like yours, too. Laurel Moody. Ala
bama kids, come on; the other states are
ahead of us. Here are a few lines of poetry

CLIMBING
Life Is a ladder;
The rungs are thought and deed;
If you would climb the heights.
These maxims you must heed:
Don’t make a single misstep;
Take one rung at a time;:
Forget the "things behind you,
And never cease to climb.
I will be surprised if I don’t receive
bushels of letters, and ail send photos for
my album. Lovingly, an old cousin,

Pell City, Ala., Route 1.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: If at first
you don’t succeed, try, try again. I tried
once, but was not admitted, so I thought I
would follow the advice given above. I am
a reader of The Tri-Weekly Journal, and
just think it a grand old paper. I like
especially to read the cousins’ page. How
many of you cousins like to go to school?
Just look at the hands! I can raise my
band on tht question. Th!* is my second
year In high school. I, like most of the
cousins* live in the country, and like coun
try life fine, because the country boy has
.so many more advantages than the town
boy. H* can see so much more of Mother
Nature, and the time has come and is com
ing when the country boy or girl has the
same school advantages as the town boy or
girl. I was sixteen the 28th of last July.
Who Is my twin? If I have one, I would
like to hear from you, and all the rest of
the cousins. VERNON MORTON.
Owharrie, N, 0.
Dearest Auntie and Cousins: Here’s an
other, “Cracker” knocking for admittance.
I was admitted once before and enjoyed my
visit very much. 1 also received many nice
letters. The Council certainly has some
gifted, “pen pushers.” Will tell you some
thing about the town near which I live: Ma
rietta has a population of about 8,000. There
are two marble milts, two cotton mills, chair
factory and Giftver Machine shops here. One
can easily see it Is a busy little town. There
are also two good schools here, grammar
and high school. The stores are built around
the park, farming a square. The railroad
does not go through the main part of the
town. So you cousins who go through by
rail don’t condemn the town, because one
cannot see its pretty streets and buildings
from the railroad. Marietta is twenty miles
northwest of Atlanta (the Gate Ciy of he
South), and Is connected with that city by
railroad, Dixie Highway and suburban cars
that run every hour. My home Is situated
about three miles north of Kennesaw moun
tain, where a great battle was fought be
tween the Confederate and Federals, when
the latter were marching to the sea. I see
that most of the cousins love books. So do
I. My favorite authors are Zane Grey,
Wright, Curwood, Gene- a and Eleanor Porter.
Cousins, I'm a lover of sports, especially
horseback riding and kodaking. I suppose
most of the cousins are going to school now.
Guess I’ll start soon. My birthday is Decem
ber 15. Have I a twin? I’m seventeen years
of age. Many of the cousins have asked
auntie when her birthday is. It is Novem-'
ber I’l. Let's remember her on that day.
Armistice day is on the same date. Auntie.
I thank you for printing my other letter and
trust you’ll print this if it be worthy of the
space. Enclosed find dime for the good
cause. Will appreciate letters. Your loving
niece and cousin,
KATIE A. CHASTAIN.
Marietta, Ga., Route 6.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May I,
please, enter your, happy band of boys and
girls? Like most of the cousins I live on a
farm and do like farm life. Richard Hed
rick, come again, your letter was fine. Cous
ins, wouldn’t it be fine to see Aunt Julia's
picture at the top of the circle? Just think,
I for one, should keep ft always. Cousins,
don't whisper it, but I’m red-beaded. I won
der of I have a twin, my birthday is October
6. What do you cousins do for pastime? I
read. I wonder if any of the cousins would
please send me the book, “Th* Rider of the
Purple Sage,” I will return it. AU you cous
ins write to me and send me your picture.
A new cousin,
(Miss) HAZEL AMOS.

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: Will yon ad
mit a lonesome South Carolina cousin into
your happy circle this rainy afternoon?
Thanks, auntie, I’ll promise not to stay
long. Cousins, your letters are just fine.
They are more interesting every day. Don’t
you think so, cousins? I enjoy reading aunt
ie’s talks very much, too. Boys, don't crit
icize the girls that use paint and powder,
when you know you had rather go with the
girls that use it. Guess I’d better stop and
give a more gifted writer space. Your cousin

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Here come

attempt. I think the Letter Box is just
grand for the young people of different
states to get acquainted. Don't you all?
I want all of you cousins, girls and boys,
to be sure to write to me. I'll return an

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: I have often
thought I would write to Aunt Julia’s Let
ter Box, so here I come and hope I may
gain admittance. I am a little girl, my
age la between ten and fifteen, and I live
on a farm in the dear old state of Georgia,
and I would not exchange homes with any
of the city cousins. My mother and father
are dead and I have no brother nor sister,
and live with my grandfather and grand
mother. Our school will begin the 29th of
October and I surely will be glad. I am
in the seventh grade. How many of you
iik«> to g-o to church! I do. I think every
boy and girl should go to church and study
God’s Word more than we do. and not so
much other stuff that is of no good to ns.
I think perhaps we would have a better
world. All of you cousins who care to
write to a jolly cousin, let your letters
come. I hope to see till* in print. Lov

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you let
me join your happy band? My home is in
Grady county, which you all know is the
great syrup county. Cairo is the largest
town la cmr cowy, I an a rural
teacher. At present I am teaching in
Grady. I like the work fine, and think
when one goes out to teach they should
put all of their will-power in the work
which they have chosen for their life’s
work. 8o many teach for what money they
ean get out it. I simply say that the pro
fession would be better off it those would
quit. Teachers, if you don't throw your
whole heart and soul in your work, why,
what can we do! If we don’t love the
work we hate it. Oh, how I pity the
teacher who hates to teach, but teaches
just because she can. I have been in the
work six years,. and love to teach better
each year. I have always taught in tbe
primary grades, having from one to three
grades, and sometimes four. This term I
have only the first grade. I hav* thirty
seven children ip this on* grad*. This 1*
a junior high school. We have four teach
ers, and we are in Grady county, too. The
weather is somewhat chilly these days.
Makes one think of frost on “de pumpkin
• In*” and cane grindinar time. It makes
my mouth water to think of those things.
Would Jike to hear from some teachers
in other counties and states and swap ideas
with them. Also others than teachers, if
they wish to write. Will try to answer all
letters. Won't describe myself thia time,
as I might not get by th* door. A new
niece and cousin,
MISS MYSIE ATKINSON.

Hello, there, Aunt Julia and cousins! How
are you all thia fine afternoon? Fine, I
hope. I surely hope I will be admitted. I
am a jolly North Carolina boy. I am from
tlie good old state of North Carolina. I will

cousins think Aunt Julia ought to print her

must go. All you cousins write to me.

How do you girls like to crochet? I do for
one. I love to embroider, too, I think I
shall crochet and embroider some things for
Christmas presents if I am not too busy
with my school books. Hpw many of you
all like to live on a farm? I do, and love to
tend to my ealf, which Is small and drinks
milk out of a bucket. I would not change
life: with a elty girl for anything in the
world. I lire on a hill, in a white house,
with eight Carolina popular* and two
maples in the front yard, also hedge? all
around the house. I am sixteen years old.
My birthday Is July 2. Who is my twin?
I would like to know. I am looking for a

boys aud girls. I just couldn’t be silent

reading the Leiter Box for about two years,
but somehow I could not pick up courage
enough to write until now. The Letter Box
has improved very much In the past two
years, and 1 hope it will continue to do so.
I wrote once before, but was not admitted,
so, auntie, please print this for me, m I
do want to correspond with the cousins.
What do you cousins do for pastime, As for
myself, I read, play th* organ and go fish
ing. I live three miles from the river and
twelve miles from tbe nearest town, but
hope I wan’t live so for another year. I
will tell my age and go. I am sixteen.
Well, cousins, I would be glad to stay with
you all, but am afraid I will break auntie's
rule. I hope I will get a handful of letters
every day from you good-looking boys aud
girls. Let your letters and photos come to
MATTIE BELL WEBB.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins,: Here comes
two Georgia girls to join your happy band
of boys and girls. Aunt Julia, what do you
and all the cousins do for pastime? We go
to school and have a real nice time; we live
in the country, like country life just tine.
Minnie Lee is between thirteen and seven
teen. Who has my birthday, March 12?
Hilda, brown hair, blue eyes, light complex
ion, weight 121 pounds, age between fifteen
and eighteen. Who lias my birthday. Feb
duary 12? Listen, do any of you cousins
like to read good books? We do. our favor
ite book is “Uncle Remus." If we see tills
in print we will come again. We wiil an
swer all cards and letters received. From
your new botisins,
(Mi’s) HILDA HESTER.
(Miss) MINNIE LEE ALRED,
Cairo, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia aud Cousins: Will you
all please move over just a little so I can
sit near auntie, for I am very timid in the
presence of strangers, especially so many.
What do you all do for pastime? I go to
school and am in the eighth grade. How
many of you all like to read good books? I
do, and 1 like good music. In one Issue of
The Journal there was a girl asking for the
song, “My Darling Nellie Gray,” and I lost
her address, if she will send me her address
or put it in The Journal I will gladly send it
to her»
FORGET IT.
If you know a thing that will darken the
joy
Os a man. woman, girl or a boy,
That will wipe out a smile or the least way
annoy
A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it.
I am fifteen years of age. I will answer
all letters and cards received. With love to
all, a new cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousin*: For a long
time I have thought of writing to tlie Let
ter Box, but have delayed until this hour.
Only a few day* ago, November Ist, I
buried my dear old mother. With saddened
hearts aud tear-dimmed eyes we tenderly
laid liar beside father in our little church
yard burying ground—placed her there to
await the coming of the Lord. We know
that our Redeemer livetli: we know that
He has gone to prepare s home, a mansion
for us; we know that soon He will come
again to call Hi* own to that home He is
now preparing, Mother was a dear lover
of flowers and our yard wa# complimented
by almost every passer-by. Her passing
leaves me alone. No, not alone, for I have
her flowers in the yard and on th* porch,
and I have the pictuye of her loving, smil
ing face enshrined on memory’s lasting
tablet. Now. while my heart is heavy
with grief and my eyes are dim -with weep
ing, let roe ask you, cousins, to always
giv* your best, your very best, thought*
and 4»e4» to your parent*, and to th* auk-
DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Unsought Criticism, Free Advice, “I
Told You So,” Accounts of Per
sonal Aches and Pains Cruel
Speeches to the Family That
We Would Never Make to
Strangers —Are a Few of
the Long List of
“Things We Should
Not Say”
A BOOK has just been published
that professes to teach the art
of conversation, and to baa
lamp to the feet, and a guide to the
tongue of those who flounder around
In dumb misery amorrg strangers
It telfs you what to say on various
and sundry oc
cantons. It
equips you with
at '" 3 s
f ,• ' set the table in
. a roar. It pro-
vldes you with
[Sja ■>*» snappy little re-
marks about the
weather, an d
original observa-,
tions about the
decorations at
J..*?* parties, and oth-
MHMk. X erwise fits out
HE drH t!,e conscientious
pT .J| student to be a
£ spellbinder in-
stead of a dumbbell.
Without doubt such a volume
meets a long-felt want, and will be
received with gratitude not only by
the speechless themselves, but by
the balance of us who often feel at
dinner parties that we have been
called upon to work oqt more than
our passage by attempting to keep
up a flow of small talk with those
whose entire vocabulary consists of
“no” and "yes” and nothing else.
Under such circumstances we are
prepared to welcome even canned
conversation, and carefully memoriz
ed funny stories, with tears of grati
tude. More power then to the book
which teaches us what to say! May
its sales increase!
But the handy manual of con
versation for which there is a cry
ing need, is one that will teach peo
ple what not to say, for outbursts
of silence are at least Innocuous
They do not harm. The thing that
stabs like a two-edged is, the
unguarded tongue.
Os course, the list of the things
we should not say t* endless, but the
world would be a brighter and a
happier place If ws were all taught
to think before we speak, and not
to wourtd people by a careless word
that drags some skeletons from its
closet, and makes an old wound
throb anew." '
Surely there is no need of dis
cussing unfaithful husbands with a
deserted wife, nor discoursing about
prison reform with a mother whose
only son is behind the bars, or tell
ing a humorous story about a crip
ple to a maimed soldier.
We might be taught not to hold
public post-mortems in which we dig
up the bones o£ our ancestors, and
hold public worship over them, or
tell how great and rich we used to
be. Or, worse still, to recount all
the trouble we have had, and de
mand that our listeners shall weep
over the sorrows that should have
been forgotten years agq.
Then we might be taught not to
talk about ourselves, or our chil-
ing of their last years most happy and
sublime. You see those wrinkles in moth
er’s face? It was toiling for you that placed
them there. Y'ou see those pale tear-wash
ed eyes? Perhaps it was weeping for a
thotijjlitless erring child that made them so.
You see those thin gray lock* that were
once so thick and fluffy? It may be that
worrying for you rubbed them of their
luster. In tlie childishness of age they may
sometimes chide you and you may some
times become impatient, but never, never
speak a rude word, for surely the day will
come w’hen you will regret it. Would be
glad to hear from any cousins or readers
who care to write, and especially those who
are lonely. • Aunt Julia. I thank you.

Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: Guess you
all will be surprised to hear from an old
cousin. No doubt there are many cousins
that do not remember me, but I hope Tn:
not entirely forgotten. I haven't forgotten
any nt you all, even it I was seemingly
neglectful about writing, I have been very
busy going to school and doing a little of
everything, but that’s making excuses,
isn’t it? And I have excuses, you know.
Hainbone says an excuse is just a lie all
dressed up. True, Isn’t it? Wonder what
you all have been doing in my absence.
Most of you are happy. 1 suppose; yet some
are blue and sad. To the ones that are
lonesome cultivate a cheerful outlook.
Nettie Sue Robertson, what has become of
you? Would like very much to hear from
you. I guess that I had better close. AU
of you cousins, write to ine. It will be
very much appreciated. Lovingly,
EFFIE KILCREASE.
Charing, Ga.
Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here I
come for n chat. I have been reading The
Journal two years, and can’t keep from
writing to the cousins. Now. I want to
tell you something funny. I have a small
boy, nine years old, who wanted the song,
“Casey Jones,” and I told him to write
Aunt Julia’s nieces to send him the song,
and he did and received five copies of tlie
song, and one girl wrote him that he didn’t
ask all the cousins to write him, but if he
would write her siia would send him the
song. I hope all who sent us the song will
read this letter and accept our thanks. We
live on a farm of 140 acres, and have to
keep busy all the time, as it is gathering
time for us farmers, and you ail know how
it is. I milk five cows, and do my house
work. I am a great lover of flowers, but
I haven’t very many. I also make and
crystallize crepe paper flowers and make a
great deal of my pin money that way. I
answered an advertisement aud paid a dol
lar to learn to make them, and thought
that was awful high, but since I have made
and sold so many I don't think so now.
I also make hair switches of combings, but
I like flower making the best. I have some
beautiful chrysanthemum* now and will try
to make some by them. I don’t know how
I can imitate them, but I have made roses
and several others that were just as natural
as the flowers were, and if any of the
cousins want me to »end them a rose,
“white, pink, red or yellow.” just send
me a piece of your new dress about four
inches square. As I am not a very gifted
writer, and don’t want to break Aunt
Julia’s rules, I had better go.

P. S.—A dime for the orphan.
Ho! Aunt Julia and all the council read
ers: Will you admit this little Mississippi
girl again? I se* very few letters from this
dear old state, so I thought I’d write. Every
time I read the Letter Box 1 have to resist
writing for I think some more gifted writers
might write. I want to thank Aunt Julia
for printing my other letter, and ad that
wrote me for their letters. I gained many
friends in Aunt Julia’s Council, anl am still
corresponding with some. I wish to find
many more friends this time, if auntie will
print my letter. Osko Williams, you spoke
of having photos of different kinds to ex
change. I have some I would like very much '
to exchange with you if you wish to. I
haven’t a special subject, but would like to
say a word on Time. Time is a valuable
thing. Lots of us say we don’t have time
to do certain things, but listen, time is all
that Is promised us. A moment is more
valuable than gold. If you loose one mo
ment it is like a grain of sand in the ocean, •
for we can never find it. We sometimes ;
wish the time that we lose back, but we i
wish in vain, for no reward I* offered for I
lost time. Let’s don't while our time away
in foolishness, but try to spend it in the
right way gnd live in tlie right way. Hwy
Klepac, I’ll guess your age to he sixteen '
years. Am I right? If so write me and '■
send your photo. Guess you all can imagine ;
how 1 look for I described myself in the |
other letter. Who has my birthday? I am ;
thirteen years of age. Exery one write me
and send your photos. I would be glad to j
correspond with many more cousin*. Your
little niece and cousin,

dren, or our possessions, or the
things that we have done, or the
things we are going to do, for these
matters are of interest to no other
human being under the sun except
ourselves.
We might be taught to keep si- ;
lent concerning our aches, and pains, i
and our major operations, for few
are morbid-minded enough to enjoy
listening to the details of hospital
clinics. And more especially, should
we be taught to refrain from telling
a sick person that his symptoms are
exactly those of our Aunt Maria,
who died a horrible death after she
had spent a fortune on doctors and
sanitariums trying In vain to get
cured.
We should be taught not to offer
gratuitous criticism. When we see
a friend with a hat on that makes
her look like the wrath of God, it
is not our business to destroy her
pleasure in it by telling her so.
Neither is it up to us to tell an ac
. quaintance that we da not like his
, new house, or the make of automo-
■ bile he has bought, or that we do
not approve of the Ways in which
.I he is bringing up his children. We
i gratify our own taste and desires.
. Other people have a similar right to
express theirs, and what they do is
none of our affair.
We might be taught not to give
, unsought advioe, especially in the
bosom of our families, and more par
[ ticularly to our children. The reason
that family life is so often a failure
is because everybody In it that
- he or she has a right to tell every -
1 body else exactly what they shall do,
1 and shall not do.
i
, If the fathers and mothers could
■ only learn what not to say to their
children, they could save the per
petual bickering that goes on in al-
! most every household in which there
i are growing boys and girls, that
breaks the parents’ hearts, and that
• drives the children away from home
: as soon as they can get away. It
■i is the nagging. "Where are you go
j ing? Why are you going there?
| How long are you going to stay?
i Why don’t you do this? Why don’t
I you do that?” that makes the chil
dren furious, and does no good, and
! yet the father and mother haven’t
enough sense to refrain from say-
- ing it.
And we could be taught not to say
. the uncourteous things to those of
. our household that we would never
’ | be rude enough to say to strangers.
. I When our husbands launch out on
; i their favorite stories why should we
: I tell them that we have heard them
before? We smile appreciatively
’ over chestnuts handed us by other
1 people. Why should we tell our
wives that they don’t know what
they are talking about, when we
. listen respectfully to a million fool
opinions from fool women outside
, of our homes? Why should we make
a child still more self-conscious and
’ awkward by publicly calling atten
tion to its faults? Why should we
reserve all of our cruel speeches for
I family consumption?
’ And we might be taught never to
say “I told you so,” which is rubbing
in another’s mistake. The sporting
’ . thing is to let bygones be bygones.
things we should not say?
, Surely the millennium will have

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Danny Finds a Treat
The Great World has too many needy
To love the selfish and the greedy.
Old Mother Nature.
Danny Meadow Mouse was having
a wonderful - time. He had climbed
into the airplane, which ail the little
people called a man-bird, and which
had been left on the Green Meadows
near Danny's home. It had taken
him no time at all to decide that
there was no danger there. Having
made up his mind to this, he ran
all over that machine. That is, he
ran all over the parts he could get
to. He poked his inquisitive little
nose into every nook and corner.
So it was that presently Danny
found a great treat. The man who
had been flying that machine had
left part of his lunch there. Danny
found it. There were a couple of
sandwiches. Danny’s nose told him
at once that they were good to eat
smell just as good to her as it had
smelled to him and that she would
nibble it. He knew that once she
had nibbled it she wouldn’t be able
to resist finishing it.
Danny waited and pretended to be
asleep. After what seemed a long
time, Nanny Meadow Mouse came
in. "Where did you get that splen
did food?” she demanded, for she
knew very well that Danny wasn’t
asleep.
He began to nibble one. My! how it
tasted! He hadn’t tasted anything
so good for a long time.
Danny forgot where he was. He
thought of nothing but filling his
stomach with this splendk* food. He
was greedy. Yes, sir, Danny Meadow
Mouse was greedy. He didp’t even
think of Nanny Meadow Mouse.
At last he could eat no more, and
still there was plenty left. Then
Danny thought of Nanny. He knew
he wouldn’t be able induce 1 r
to come over there.
“I’ll just take her a piece of this
good food,” said he to himself. “I
won’t tell her where I got it. I'll
say I found it, but I won’t say where
I found it.”
So Danny took a piece of bread
crust in his mouth and climbed out
of the man-bird. Back home to the
old scarecrow he hurried. He won,
tiered if Nanny had missed him. He
climbed up to their home. Nanny
wasn’t there. Danny chuckled. Then
he left the piece of crust; just out,
side the doorway and curled up in
side for a nap. He was tired,
He was awakened by the return of
Nanny Meadow Mouse. He heard
her stop just outside the doorway
He knew what she was doing. He
knew that she was smelling of that
piece of crust. He chuckled down
inside. He knew that crust would
“I found it,” said, Danny.
“I suppose you did,” retorted Nan
ny. “Where did you find it?”
“Oh, I just found it,” replied Dan
ny, and that is all he would say.
Nanny teased and teased, but

Danny wouldn’t tell her where he

Danny chuckled, but he took ears
