Frem the Writings
of the Founder
The Writer Remembers Quite
Well Charles Dickens'
reception in Philadelphia at Concert Hall, many
years age. He came in late and stayed long after
reading a part of "The Old Curiesfty Shep" and
ether pieces and then shook the hands of all who
were presented te him. We could hardly forgive
him for his "American Notes," but he was sorry
for them afterward, and it was the fault of the
snobs who were near him and misrepresented
America.
Let us forget what we de net like and
remember him for "Little Nell's" sake, and for
this verse attributed te him:
"The timid hand stretched forth te aid
A brother in his need;
The kindly word in grief's dark hour
, That proves a friend indeed.
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
Whe;i justice threatens high;
The so.Vew of a contrite heart
These things must never die."
Christmastime is a geed time te forget old
differences, and prove it by something you can
easily say or de. Don't think ever it tee long.
Just de something that puts things right. V
