By Aunt Louise
Foster
THE THOUGHTS of the
aged there are
wrinkles made by
sympathy, others by
strong and pure
thought, others are
carved by passion;
who cannot
distinguish them?
With those who have
lived righteously,
age is calm,
peaceful, and softly
mellowed, like the
setting sun.
Basil Coe of Miles
Furniture Company
who died October 22
was some sixty-odd
years old. Yes, he
was wrinkled, but he
was not old except
in years and I
firmly believe his
wrinkles were made
or I should say
carved, by strong
and pure thoughts.
Basil had been in
bad health for a
number of years yet
he continued to work
in the store, but
most of all he
continued to help
his fellow man.
There was never a
man or woman who had
an alcoholic problem
that Basil refused
to help. No matter
what time of night
or day they called,
the hand of AA was
there, and it was
Basil.
There is no
physician like
cheerful thoughts
for dissipating the
ills of the body,
there is no
comforter to compare
with goodwill for
dispersing the
shadows of grief and
sorrow.
Whether our illness
be mental, physical
or maybe you imagine
them�..let's be
cheerful !
You know what, dear
readers, I firmly
believe I needed to
read this article
again, again and
again, maybe more
than you. Smile !
