almost blind, entered village in Wes-
tern State toward evening. He was
lust able to see to make his way. He
noticed standing near. q man, to whom
hs said, ~ wish you were q baptis,t!
deacon, a. You used To- be-" why"
asked the man, "Because you used to
care for me and for my horse when !
came your way aWell, come into
nv house" replied the man. There
was standing near him at the time q
man whom the minister did not see.
Sometime afterward the minister was
IN Springfield when he was accosted by
man in loud voice, Don't you want
to find Baptist deacon?" "Yes," the
minister answered. well, come into
my house." said the man. Alter they
had sat down to the table the minister
asked to whom he was indebted for the
entertainment he was receiving. Lin
coin is my name, Abraham Lincoln,
answered the host. Wasn't that a
beautiful specimen OF Christian charity!
THE DINING ROOM. fees.
Now let US step right out Of theparlor
into the dining room. In our new
home the dining room must be q pleas
ant place. And it is not what there Is
to eat, but what there is to say that Is
be considered. Instead of spending less
time chokeing down greasy potatoes and
indigestible meat at restaurant man
had better spend an hour for dinner and
take it at home. Many merchants and
clerks 20 all day with pain in the pit
of stomach. The. food has no time to as
simulate. In stead of making man, it
remains meat, and there the lamb and
the COW lie down together and stay
there. Until two o'clock they are say
ing "give us time. In the name OF
sense what can you expect" No man
would sit down at his own table, throw
a chunk OF meat at his wife, and pass
the bread basket around with such
lightning-l like rapidity that the children
must dive at it to get any.
In our new home there must be no
alum i'm the"hour If it doe make 1t
whittier, no Prussian blue in the tea, no
chicory i'm the coffee, no arsenate OF cop
per and red lead in the confectionery.
We want nothing but pure and whole
some goods. There are too many gro
GERS like that one OF whom the story is
told that he called down to his clerk in
the morning, "Have you busted the
pepper?" dyes" Have you sanded
the supar?'' eyes" "Have you
chicoried the coffee?" ayes" "Well,
then, come up to prayers"
Bring no disagreeable topic into the
dining room. Leave down town behind
you. Take a good look at your children,
80 that you will know them ii you
should meet them OH the street, and be
able to swear to their identity. Some
children see so little OF their parents
that they have no more interest in them
than that they furnish them the means
to live upon. Some fathers have no
interest in their children except the
thought occasionally that they will have
an interest some day in the disposition
OF the property. Many men keep toll
ing and grabbing up, what for? Simply
to get money with which to spoil their
children, instead OF giving them good
education, and then saying to them,
"Get away, and make yourself" One
reason some do not get along is because
they do not have enough hardship. l
think really what is needed for some
people is to get into collision with snarl-
ing perplexities. 1t would he the max
ing OF them.
