It goes back to a train trip I took as a child. The man beside me bought a box of chocolates probably to keep me quiet. I was delighted and quickly finished off the candy. As I poked through the empty wrappers, my finger pushed into the second layer choco lates arranged just like a new box of candy! I had eaten my cake, yet I had it, too. When we're young we accept such little miracles with a thrill we later lose. I can never experience just the same feeling, but I'll never forget it, cither. L. E., Texarkann, Tex. A NEWLYWED LEARNS A LESSON. When I was first married, I carefully embroidered "His" and "Hers" on my new pillowcases as I talked with an elderly neighbor. "My dear," she said, "you're making a mistake." I was flab bergasted, but she explained quickly that my sewing was lovely; it was the idea that was wrong. She told me, "You can't think of 'His' and 'Hers' in mar riage; you can't go your separate ways. It's better to think of 'Ours' and share everything." Ten years and three children later, I know how right she ... I am afraid. I fear the whiteness of this page and the antagonism of the black words which do not come. Sometimes readers toll me of their own longings to pre serve a part of themselves, to weave together the fabric of their minds in poetry or prose. As though they seek meat and drink lest they starve, they ask my blessing against their muteness. I cannot help them, I who sulTer as greatly as the least of them. I cannot whisper in their ears the magic to cover the cloth of them with the outpouring of their hearts and spirits. There is no frustration so peculiarly piercing as that of a writer who cannot w rite. There is no stranger drain on the mind which feels the words and cannot set them down. Now and then as I face this paper and this grinning opponent which is my ty pewriter, both are vanquished and I command them. The words How from me as a bn.k. the sentences the current of my heinx Again, I walk for days with an emhryo of meaning within was. We have no individual labels in our home, and when you split troubles five ways, they're never very large. Mrs. Richard Gramly, Mansfield, 0. GOOD FOR NOTHING. Recently our minister chose the expression, "Good for Nothing," as his sermon text, using it to mean doing good without expectation of re ward. It set me to wondering how many of us are purely unselfish w hen we put that occasional large bill in the collec tion plate, when we help our neighbors, or when we con tribute to community charities and activities. Is it because of our love for God or can it be that we hope to widen the gates of eternity and thus squeeze through? If we ask ourselves about our motives in this way, it will broaden our lives and our spiritual outlook amazingly. Lt. Coi .William F. Upton. Jr., Sarasota, Fla.

When at last I sit here, knowing there will be no victory, the quiet desperation of Thoreau is m my heart and I rip to shreds the paper and my thoughts. 1 his is a morning f exquisite pain. Here are the blue sky and the blue sea and the fishing fleet and the gulls. There is a prayer m this morning and a icspite from my desires. I seek them and 1 cannot find them. Though there is a soaring inside and I harbor a longing to share the emotions which move me, it is futile. Still I know- 1 will not surrender.
