GEORGIA'S BEAUTY
Georgia Flanagan
The happiest hotn^s on earth
are those that are blessed with
children. Children impart a
warmth and an atmosphere of
living to a home that lends
enchantment to even the hum-
blest dwelling.
The happiest people on earth are those parents
who lavish their affections upon their children
and endeavor to rear them in such manner that
they will become happy and useful members of
society.
Parenthood carries with it serious responsi-
bilities which no parent can afford to shirk or
ignore. Child delinquency springs mainly from
parental neglect and the lack of proper home
training.
The first duty of a parent is to instill in his
child’s mind the principles of right living and the
spiritual background of human life. He must
teach the child how to apply these principles in
his daily life.
The Church stands ready to counsel and guide
parents in meeting the grave responsibilities of
child training.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac-
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup-
port the Church. They are: (1)
Fufi2jis,own sake- (2) For his
children s sake. (3) For the sake
ot his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma-
terial support. FL„ lu s
church regularly and read
Bible daily.

“Darling,” she said, “I’ve
been trying to figure out one
good reason for marrying yoti
since our wedding day.”

to will be a welcome relief. Besides,
Thanksgiving down here doesn’t
seem to call for a turk. And we still
have the smoked shoulder we’d
planned on.”
And Imogene smiled in prod-
igious happiness and began re-
wrapping Uncle Ruffls’s turkey.
“Darling,” she said, “I’ve been
trying to figure out one good
reason for marrying you since
our wedding day. And now I’ve
found it.” Whereupon she
kissed him and Tony held her
tight in his arms.
And so they marched over to the
Santrells and undid the package on
Mrs. Santrell’s kitchen table and
watched with a curious tugging at
their hearts as the eight Santrell
children and the two grown-ups
stared and stared at the great fat
bird. They left very soon after that
because Mr. and Mrs. Santrell
seemed to have difficulty in finding
adequate words to express them-
selves.
They raced up the walk of their
little stucco bungalow—and stopped
'dead still on the veranda.
A great package reposed before
the front door, and a letter lay atop
the package.
Tony picked up the letter, stared
at the package curiously and tore
open the envelope. “Dear Imogene
and Tony,” he read. “Your Uncle
Rufus wouldn’t like it a bit if he
knew I was doing this. You know
how he disapproved when you two
got married and went away down
South. However, I know you must
I be lonesome and rather dis-
couraged, and so, under separate
cover, I’m sending you a turkey for
your Thanksgiving dinner. Please
don’t acknowledge its receipt, as
your Uncle Ruths might read the
letter and I’d never hear the end of
it. Love to you both, Aunt Sara.”

Imogene looked at him squarely.
“I was thinking, Tony, about the
Santrells. I can’t help it, with this
big turkey here in front of us.”
Tony’s hand tightened its grip.
“Precious,” he said gently, “you’re
a dear.”
He was silent, then, staring
thoughtfully out into ttit yaii. The
Santrells, he reflected, had prob-
ably never had a turkey for Thanks-
giving. It was doubtftd this Thanks-
giving if they’d have anything to
eat. They were poor, dirt poor, and
there were eight children in the
family. Mr. Santrell was sick half
the time; he couldn’t work, even if
work were available. Their plight
was pitiful. They had been too proud
to ask for help; had reached a state
of near destitution, when the town
discovered their condition.
PRESENTLY TONY turned. He
said: “Listen, sweet, as far as
I’m concerned, I’d like to live
through one Thanksgiving without
a turkey. I’ve had to eat one every
Thanksgiving since I can remem-
ber, and the novelty of not having

IMOGENE sat at the kitchen table
and listened starry-eyed while
Tony read the letter. “Dear Tony
and Imogene: I was sorry to hear
I about Tony’s ill luck down there in
' Carolina, and know you must be
having rather a hard pull. But

Tony pulled off the last wrapper
and grinned happily. Within the
cardboard box there nestled a hand-
some, fat turkey; a delicious, palat-
able turkey. Tony’s mouth watered
at sight of it.
Accompanying the bird were
vegetables galore, nuts and
fruit and a real plum pudding
ready for heating. It was a com-
plete, old-fashioned Thanksgiv-
ing dinner.

At length Imogene stirred. She
turned and looked through the win-
dow and there was something queer
about the expression on her face.
Tony saw the look and he came and
sat down on the table and took her
hand in his.
