By St. Francis ot Assist
"Lord, make me an instrument of
Thy Peace!
Where there Is hatred . . . let me
sow love
Where there Is Injury . . . pardon
Where there is doubt . . . faith
Where there iB despair . . . hope
Where there is Badness . . *joy!
O Divine Master, grant that I may
not so much seek
To be consoled . . . as to console
To he understood . . . as to under-
stand
To be loved . . . as to love, for
It is in giving . . . that we receive
It is in pardoning . . . that we are
pardoned
It Is in dying . . . that we are born
to eternal life. "

Dear Mr. Editor,
The New York Times used the
enclosed prayer of St. Francis in
Its holiday edition last Christmas.
It Is so beautiful—it appeals to
all good people; and, I think , is
truly indicative of the Christmas
spirit.
I respectfully suggest that you
And a place for it in your own ex-
cellent "Patriot" this Christmas
season.
Sincerely yours,
Martha K. Laliiff.

Miss Dorothy Worrell , Editor
The Barnstable Patriot
Hyannis, Mass.
Dear Miss Worrell:
It Is time we did something about
Cape Cod weather!
Mark Twain complained that
everyone talks about the weather,
but no one does anything about it.
1 think we do not talk enough about
the weather on this fav ored spot. !
It was moat gratifying to me to
read the editorial , "Weather Re- ;
port," in your issue of December
1st. I wish it could have had wide ':
outside circulation.
Recently I was honored by being
invited to speak before the Hyannis |
Rotary Club, and had a few things
to say about the misleading reports
that emanate from Boston and oth-
er points regarding this subject. |
Even many of my personal
friends wonder why I live here, '
having made lt my permanent resi-
dence now for over a year. It makes
me indignant to realize their igno- ,
ranee of the kind of weather we
really have. I
I feel strongly that the Cape Cod
newspapers and the Chamber of
Commerce should emphasize more
1
and more, utilizing every opportu- |
nity, the contrast between the
weather we get here on the Cape
and the weather In Boston and
New York , especially in winter. I
My dail y trip between Hyannis
and Boston Is like traveling be- '
tween two different climates.
Sincerely yours,
W. A. Nicol ,

B. H. S. Notes
by Clara J. Hallett ¦
This is your local station 213 Ocean, No K. H
Christmas is over, but its spirit still lingers on ii
hearts . It has been a refreshing season for old and youni/ °"rH
Greetings rrom friends—letters
and cards, often from far away
friends you seldom see, but each
year comes the envelope with, the
familiar handwriting, bringing ex-
pressions of continued friendship
and interest in you. How are you?
What are you doing? Telling also
about their lives and the experi-
ences of other mutual friends. New
ties are sometimes formed that
bring happiness in years to come,
while old friendships are strength-
ened.
The Christmas interlude was a
time of rejoicing . . . we forgot
some of the petty things that come
up to annoy us day by day. Some-
how we begin to count our bless-
ings around about Thanksgiving
time. It comes to us then with a
renewed sense of the importance of
giving more thought to what we
have, while forgetting some of our
wants. Maybe we want a lot of
foolish things that would be ot no
real benefit to us.
We In America are the luckiest
people In the world but we cannot
live on luck alone ; unless we fol-
low the right methods, bad luck
also may pursue us.
When the lights are gone and our
gifts put away or in place we may
lose some of our feeling of enthu-
siasm and anticipation that the
holiday season brings, if we are
one of the lucky ones with a fair
share of health and comfort. We
may forget how we watched a bit
more eagerly for the postman . . .
What is he bringing today? Oh, a
letter from a new friend—packages
| from old friends; the expressman,
; the parcel post all contribute BO
much to our pleasure . . . brings
i fruits and flowers and giftB from
Florida, California , Nevada to me
; and to you from other states In
the Union, right to our doors. Hap-
py surprises! What a blessing the
transportation systems of all kinds
are in sickness or health.
Christmas Is the time when we
long to be rich. It is truly "more
blessed to give than to receive.
Maybe we are selfish and don't
realize lt. We may take a certain
pride in being a benefactor, who
knows! And feel sort of humble to
always or often have to be a re-
l ceiver. It is such a Joy to wrap
pretty gifts in the bright attractive
papers we can buy today. We like
| to feaBt our eyes on them before
i they go out. We do so hope we
have chosen what our friends or
I families will like; then when gifts
come in they look so pretty we
hate to take off their gay jackets
| right away, we like to guess what Is
In them but we often miss out on
that.
It's like a letter , if the post mark
and handwriting or the typed ad-
dress are unfamiliar we will won-
der and wonder , . , now who can
this be from ? Do I know anyone
there? and all such foolishness as
that, when all we have to do is to
open it and find out. Do we like
to be in a state of suspense-.). I
tlcipatlon sometimes better ."fl
reality ? Could be. "'"
