Flowers To The Living
George W. Childs has said: “Do
not keep your alabaster box of love
and tenderness sealed up until your
friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness, speak approving,
cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and while their
hearts con be thrilled and made
happier. The kind things you mean
to say when they are gone, say be
fore they go. The flowers you
mean to send for their coffin, send
to brighten and sweeten their
homes before they leave them.
Lea us learn to anoint our friends
while they are yet among the liv
ing. Post-mortem kindness does not
cheer the burdened heart; flowers
on the coffin cast no fragrance
over the weary way.”
This is not exactly an annual
report on personal service (my
hobby, or at least, one of them)
but it is an effort to express a
feeling that has been welling up in
my heart that the folks (not less
than 174 by a count in the night
hours) who have taken the trouble
to try to lessen the pain and hasten
the passing of long days and nights
for me and mine in the recent “hour
of trial” have really helped. Mere
words are poor tools of expression
yet they help convey our meaning.
So many things were done, so
many kindly feelings manifested.
Each offering, all the way from a
gift of bright-colored paper strips
for a little girl to enjoy during the
aftermath of a tonsil operation,
through cards, letters, books, pa
pers, magazines, flowers and visits,
to even that greatest gift, prayer,
helped.
Now go back and read that beau
tifully expressed thought above

You must see them to appreciate them. They are beautiful and the price is approximately one third of what you would expect
to pay for a much less efficient refrigerator. There is no mingling of tastes when you cut into your butter, covered dishes as
recommended in electric and other mechanical refrigerators are absolutely unnecessary No odor mingling, no drying out, >1
and no funny taste in the ice cubes. B

A farmer was being asked to

reason given being that it would

“That’s all right,” he replied, “but
I already know how to do better
