SPIRIT
No man despises a good neighbor. When I was a boy families
that lived f a r and near were all
good neighbors, one often tried
to outdo the other in kind and
loving deeds. I am
persuaded
that the human heart is just as
kind and loving now and always
will be, but I know too that in a
great city conditions are different.
Back across the hills we knew
one another. In the mad scramble of a great city you just can't
play the part of a good Samaritan
to every unfortunate. However,
in a Township like Stow there is
no excuse for not possessing and
scattering abroad the Community
Spirit.
By Community Spirit we mean
good-will,
kindness,
sympathy
and solicitude. In the Community Spirit we sincerely desire that
no evil shall befall our neighbors.
The great majority of the folk in
Stow belong to some
Church,
their membership is in Cleveland,
Akron, Kent Hudson or
Stow,
and mark, mv friend, a Community Spirit can scarcely have the
high calling of the
Christian
Spirit. Therefore, join with me,
I beg, that we at least measure
to the standard of a Community
Spirit.
God forbid that I should boast,
f a r from it, but I say with pride
my father was a good neighbor.
I have known him to sit with the
N O . 48
sick, yes often, and work the next
day. I have known him to divide
his Christmas dinner with the
needy and to give clothes from
his scant wardrobe. The winds
of countless ages may blow
scornfully across the graves of
some but not so over father's upturned face, for he was a good
neighbor.
Kindness is cheap, a smile and
a glad hand, a kind word, a loving deed enriches one's soul. It
savors of the things that
are
worth reaping by and by.
Tucked in homes, up and down
the allotments of Stow are many
sad and discouraged hearts, life
for most of us is an,up-hill pull,
great then is the need for the
sunshine and cheer of a little bit
of love.
Just t r y the Community Spirit,
put it in operation, speak to the
one you dislike, pray for one you
are tempted to damn, wish everybody well, give your soul a chance
to grow big, let magnanimity have its way, stoop to do little
kindly deeds, expecting no reward, the reward is in duty done.
Attend one of the Churches in
Stow, speak well of all men, forgive as you hope to be forgiven.
Look across the allotments of
Stow, think of those more unfortunate than yourself, then obey
the urge within, even a word of
sympathy will help.
All you can ever carry out of
this world on your stiffened
