GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



27 



Kind Words From Our Customers. 



I have a few pets In my father's back yard, which 

 brought me in a good deal of pleasure as well as 

 about 1100 in money for the honey product. I en- 

 joy Gleanings, and I wish to thank you.

A KIND WORD FROM THE STATE SECRETARY OF THE 



Y. M. C. A.; IS IT THE COUNTRY PEOPLE AND NOT 



THE TOWNS WHO ARE KEEPING SOME OF 



OUR OHIO COUNTIES WET? 



My dear Mr. Moot.— I have had it on my mind for 

 a good while to send you a letter that would reach 

 you before you left your chickens and the sunny 

 South. The thing that has been chiefly on my 

 mind was simply this: Mrs. Bookwalter and I feel 

 that we can not aflford to miss a single one of those 

 splendid " sermonettes " in Gleanin(.s. A week 

 ago last Sunday night, after I had been away con- 

 stantly for several days, traveling over the State 

 among our associations, I picked up Gleanings 

 and read aloud that wonderfully helpful little talk, 

 "His Leaf also shall Not Wither." We had been 

 at church In the morning, but we agreed heartily 

 that your sermonette was the most spiritually up- 

 lifting thing that we had heard or read for a long 

 time. We simply can not aflford to do without 

 Gleanings, so I hope you will not cut me off the 

 list. I remember with gratitude the day I was in 

 Medina and you generously added my name to the 

 mailing-list. 



I am sure you will be interested to know that in 

 your neighboring county of Lorain, that little city 

 of Elyria is now in the midst of a 1100,000 campaign 

 to build a new Y. M C. A. building. Messrs. Gar- 

 lord, W. N. Gates, Robinson, Sharp, and Alien- 

 probably you know all of them— are the prime 

 movers, through the Chamber of Commerce, in 

 this enterprise. It will mean a great deal to the 

 working men and boys of Elyria, of whom 987 have 

 already signed up for membership In the proposed 

 new association. 



Along with this fact you will be interested to 

 know also, if Iluber has not already told you, that 

 at a county committee meeting, at which your son 

 was present last Thursday night, it was decided to 

 open up Lorain Co. next for the rural type of asso- 

 ciation work you know so well in Medina Co. I 

 believe the good Lord is going to use the Y. M. C. A. 

 In Lorain Co. to do one great piece- of work that 

 needs so much to be done — namely, drive the sa- 

 loon for ever out of that county. I was surprised 

 to learn last week that It was not Lorain, as I had 

 supposed, that had voted In the saloon In Lorain 

 Co., but the unusual fact that It was rural Lorain 

 Co. and the smaller towns that caused the defeat of 

 the dry campaign. I think we can promise that. If 

 county work is given two years In Lorain Co. 

 among those smaller towns, there will be no ques- 

 tion about the result when the fight comes up 

 again at that time. 



We are all very much interested in your life and 

 activities wherever you may be, and every one who 

 knows you knows that you are always working 

 lor the best interests of humanity and the kingdom 



of God. A. G. B00KW\].TKR, 



March 29. State Secretary.
