"fiEN HOPE," TH ESHUT-IN
SENDS HIS GREETINGS
y Editor The Herald and News:
May 1 not communicate with mj
many unknown friends and helper:
once more.through the medium o1
your columns? Only in this waj
can I keep in touch with all those
? who think so well of me and remember
me so kindly on special occasions.
*- "May all the days be- thank.
ful ones*and may your whole life be
^ rich as the golden harvest that al
s autumn time we see," writes a deai
utiknown friend. The beautiful message
came just as I was beginning tc
^ prepare this informal communicator
and I repeat it here because I desire
y,
jhe people to know and be impressed
with* the fact of my profound appreciation
of their devotion to me.
I feel, this Thanksgiving and
Christmas season, that I have much
for which to be thankful, much for
which to bless the Giver of everj
good and perfect gift, if my shut ir
life has not been all joy, pleasure
and beauty during the year that has
just about passed away forefver. It
* ic wpII that the vears do pass, but we
, regret to see them go when we remember
that we are growing old, and
reflect on the many good things we
should have done, and would if-we
had had the power, while the years
were still ours in which to do as we
pleased And we do as we please,
hence *3ie barren years! "Time
? flies," and we can not keep the happy
days with us any longer than we can

4 spect nature is impartial; but, then,
nature is as nature should be; and
so we must hasten on,
I feel, and Say often to my friends
that really there only one thing we
are obliged to have, be it jn our pow*
er to fcave it, in order to get on in
this life, in order to fight the battle
of this material existence successfully;
and that one thing is good health,
physical, mental an4 spiritual. Without
it. we can do nothine and our
possessions, be they infinitely vast,
can not do us the greatest good.
'Health is., therefore, the greatest
blessing; and to see?'it if we have
> it not* ta .preserve it if* we dp have
it, is our firsfc?duty. ^ .

who have accomplished mqst in the

for the moral uplift, have in nearly
every case been weak physically.
Their being of so ^jiuch account is
readily understood, we think, when it
is explained that they were giants in
mental, spiritual and will power. But
what inspires some men and women
with the determination to go on, des-J

Who gives them the strength
