Last Sunday the preacher at our little Sunrise church said in his sermon that some people were so very good, so very anxious to be pious, that they concentrated on the First Commandment and never got any farther. They overlooked the fact that, while the First Commandment specified "Thou shalt love the Lord they God with all thy heart," the Second continues, "And another like unto it is this, Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself."
If you had had the privilege of reading the letters that have some to the Household since Faith's death, you would feel, with a great thrill, that here is a place where everyone follows the Second Commandment faithfully and well. Ever so many readers of the column have sent in splendid contributions that will help me immensely I these first early days, and will keep you interested, too, for they are meaty articles, cram full of ideas, well expressed. B.H.M. sent in a wealth of helps, and marked them, "Use these if you need them in the lean days to come: if not, no damage done." Pep of Minnesota continues to contribute abundantly. Margaret Cameron, Lillian A. David and others too numerous to list here today, have helped immeasurably. Many letters say, "I want to help," "We must all pull together." "We must keep the good work going." and similar neighborly, generous things, without a single note of selfishness or jealousy. It is wonderful to find such spirit. It is a help and inspiration to all of us. If there were only time, I would write every one of you a personal letter and thank you for your loyalty.
