You 'must carve out your own way if it is successfully carved, yon muss seek yourown fortunethroughinnustry, persevence add pluck. Labor is honorable, and the ignoble are those who will not work Get you a homeenuce field, plow it and pland ii and gatha a,ound you the comforts of a home.

Words Of Appreciation Favette, Mo., April 14—Deau Editor: Since my last news letter to you some three weeks ago, I am pleased to inform you that, though I am not completely recovered from my illness, God, in his wisdom has seen fit to bless me as to enable me to be about again, words can not express my gratitude. I am proud to say, not withstanding, my being confused to my room for nearly three weeks with rheumatic fever, I am still on this side of eternity and my zeal for my Order, of the Knights of Pythias, and its prosperity everywhere is greater now than it has ever been before. Now, if God restores me to my health again, I shall be bold in stand for this order because I shall speak from experience. It would have made your heart rejoice had you been able to see the large number of brother, sisters and friends who came to see me every day. All eager to do all possible for my relief. The Knights of Pythias is a society of men, binding themselves together in bonds fraternal union. All creeds and ideas are blending in harmonious union to work for not only the alleviation of sufferings of each other in times of necessity but to also cement themselves inseperably in the bonds of friendship. Hense, it is not only provides pecimary advantages in days of distress and sorrow but its doctrines are to afford avenues of council periods of health and vigor. Pythianism teaches us to lay aside all partisan differences and to hold under absolute subjection all selfish ambitions in order that the general good of all may be safe guarded. The grandest of all spectacles to behold is that of men coming voluntarily to the relief of the sufferings of the depressed and sorrowful. J. H. DIGGS.
