OUR COUNTRY
If it had been permitted us to
choose a place and time for our ex
istence, we could have chosen no place
more conducive to health, hope and
happiness than upon American soil
and no age more glorious and full of
opportunities than this, the twentieth
century.
We would have let pass by aesthetic
Greece in the golden age of Pericles
and imperial Rome in the prosperous
days of Augustus Caesar. No time,
no land could have appealed to us so
much as this land of ours in this day
of ours.
It is true that the great principle of
the brotherhood of man is not in op
eration toward the Negro; it is true
that he is not given all the rights
granted to its citizens by the consti
tution of this country; and that he
still sufers many humiliations on ac
count of race prejudice.
. Regardless of all this we are opti
mistic. Obstacles often act as incen
tives to higher things. The outlook
grows brighter every day. Men’s
rights must always prevail against
men’s wrongs. We should be too
busy availing ourselves of the oppor
tunities we have, to complain of the
privileges which we do not have.
Our rise has been so rapid that it is
unprecedented.
This is a day of the evolution of our
race. A day of the rise of our women.
A day of hope for our mothers. A
day of opportunities and possibilities
for our children. A day of success
for any man who struggles and labors
to win. It should make us glad to
form a part of a nation, whose natural
beauty and resources, whose institu
tions and civilization, and whose
wonderful opportunities rank second
to none in all the world. L. S. E.
A NEW YEAR’S BANK
“I have a bank,” said Billy Bly.
“What do you think goes in it?
All pleasant words and deeds that I
Can crowd into each minute.
The interest is happiness,
And 1 am sure it pays!
The bank? You all know that, I
guess—
The year, with all its days.”
The Youth’s Companion.
BOYS AND GIRLS
The difference is apparent early: A
boy has as much fun in stoning a cat
as a girl has in hunting for violets.
A boy’s curiosity is directed to the ice
box; a girl would like to see what is
in the top bureau drawer.
A girl can give the impresion when
away from home that her parents are
wealthy; a boy cannot.
Every boy is old enough to be wel
come to sit in the neighbor girl’s par
lor many years before his sister thinks
he is old enough to sit in the parlor at
home.
A girl is never so young that she
wil reveal to guests at a party that
the spoons are borrowed; a boy child
never grows so old that he fails to.
Give the boy a dollar and he wjll eat
it; give his sister one and she will
wear it.
A brother and sister may have hair
of the same shade, but the boy’s is
called red and the girl’s auburn.
When brothers fight, it is over the
larger share of pie; when sisters
quarrel, one has worn something be
longing to the other without asking
permission.—Ex.
