A Poem
From Mrs. Eby .. •
—The Preacher's Wife—
You may think it quite an easy
task and just a pleasant life;
But it really takes a lot of
grace to be a preacher’s wife.
She’s supposed to be a para
gon, without a fault in view;
A Saint when in the parsonage,
as well as in the pew.
Her home must be a small
hotel for folks that chance to
roam,
And yet have peace and har
mony, the perfect preacher’s
home!
Whenever groups are called to
meet, her presence must be
there,
And yet the members all agree
she should live a life of prayer.
Though hearing people’s bur
dens, their griefs both night and
day,
She’s supposed to spread but
sunshine to those along the way.
She must lend a sympathetic
ear to every tale of woe,
And then forget about it, lest it
to others go.
Her children must be models
rare of quietness and poise,
And still stay on the level with
other girls and boys.
You may think it quite an easy
task and just a pleasant l^fe;
But it really takes a lot of
grace to be a preacher’s vyife.

Letters
to the
Editor
Portland, Ore.
Dear Editor,
Thank you for the reminder of
the expiration of my subscription
of The Frontier. I enjoy the pa
per, especially the editorials of
Romaine Saunders.
My father, Thomas H. Berry
and family lived on a farm north
of O’Neill until 1903. In fact he
was one of the pioneers of Holt
county. He built one of the first
houses in Holt county near Pad
dock. He later moved to the prai
rie. The Post Office was then
Blackbird, now is Meek. Some of
our old friends are still there.
Grandma Hull is my mother’s
cousin and I have some dear
memories of old friends and good
times.
Thank you Sincerely
