you 1--we IN the same country with a family who
keeps tnlngs ID sucl condition? You have
right TO feel proud OF it. tbs y0urS-yours to
look at, to enjoy, to rejoice over. 1t has its in
nuence IN eleyatlng your mind and Frightening
your lie. Goldsmith. in 8 The Traveller SAYS
These little things are great to little men.
And wiser ISshe whose sympathetic mind
Exults IN all the good OF all mankind.
Ye glittering towns withwealth and splendor
crowned,
Ye fields where summer spreads confusion
Ye lakes whose vessels catch the busy gale,
fe bounding swans, that dress the iowery
Tor me your tributary stores combine.
Creations heir, the world, the world is
mine.'
Taking this view of the case, he who keeps his
premises tidy and attractive is benefaefOr to
mankind.
Now listen, We farmers, and take a gentle
hint. The opportunity is yours and it is grand
one. The wheTeWithal is at your command for
a well kept yard, and attractive and profitable
fruit and vegetable gardens. You no doubt
have all seen the example set heed the wise in
junction, Go thou and do likewise Do you
say you are too busy? All, there is the rub.
We are all too busy, and SO we go on living year
after year in a way repugnant TO our tastes and
haraSSlng to our minds. Why not manage to
have hired man spend a few hours in trimming
up those trees or grubbing out some under
brush, or smoothing some rough places in the
yard /; or can't you give him little extra work
for While and give yourself time to do few
| necessary thlngS-arrange a neat walk and
plant few really desirable trees?
Is it really the lack of time or the lack of
ability 10 economize time Matthews SAYS
/" Economic with ten-fold care those raspings
and parings Of existence, those leavings of days
and wee bits OF hours so valueleSS singly, so in
eStimable IN the aggregate, which most persons
sweep out into the waste of life, and you viii be
rich IN leisure: Rely upon 1t, If you are a miser
OF moments, II you hoard up and turn to ac-
count odd minutes and half hours and uneX-
pected holidays and I'VE minute gaps while the
table is spreading, the chasms while you are
gleanings at the end of life win lave formed
colossal and solid block of time, and you viii
die at last weather. in intellectual acquisition,
weather. in good deeds harvested, than thous-
andS whose time is all their own.
Above all these elements necessary to COM
plete the measure for life of real happiness is
that of faith You must have faith in yourself,
IN the other members of your family, in your
friends and neighborS, in your God.
WnaC man Oh woman was ever successful in
| business without faith in his own ability to ac-
complish his undertakings Have faith in an
enterprise before you undertake it have faith
| in your own powers of carrying it through, and
then go right straight ahead Don't allow your
| self TO pc one DAY elated, another discouraged
oyer it, blown hither and thithersby every con-
| flicting opinion. Husbands and wives Should
have faith in each other for there is nothing
more Trying to a sensitive mind than to find
your life partner has lost faith in you that your
actions are viewed with suspicious eyes, and
that you have lost the confidence of that one of
all others whom you wish to please. Have faith
| in your children, for by this means you will cul-
tivate spirit of trustWorthiness in them, which
| by unknd accusations and lack of trust is only
too easily destroyed. Have faith in your neigh
bors, for they are but children of a. larger
| growth ana like to feel that they are trusted,
and will most naturally try to deserve the conf
dence reposed in them When you have deal
ings with man don't treat him as if you
| thought ne was trying to cheat you at every
| turn, but let him understand that YOU believe
he VIII deal fairly by you, and it will give you
both more comfortable feeling,
| II you meet an old friend and find him gloomy
and reserved don't jump at the conclusion that
he is " out of Serts'' with you and treat him In
cool and offended manner. Be little more
cordial than usual, If possible. Show him in a
gentle way tnat you are friend to him and
have faith In him and his friendship. By so do
| ing you can but show your kindness of feeling
and dlsarm any suspicious he may entertain of
| you your actions may pour balm upon mind
troubled by matters which do not touch your
personal interests at all. If you return his
seeming ungraciOuSneSS by GOODNESS or indlffer-
ence how great your remorse will be when you
learn later that his actions were caused by some
severe mental distress which he hadn't the
power to control 1.-THE heart knOWeth its own

that all else is of no avail This subject of faith

only touch on it lightly tonight.
may trust am not reading Ito ScofferS. No
true hearted, fine grained man was ever known
to scott or sheer at such subject. A man of
sound nature, whether he believe or not, will al
ways treat with respect one who does believe;
will enter place OF worship quietly and re-
Spectfully will not sheer at the doctrines
taught there. AS he reverenceS the name of
his Sainted mother who taught him of Gods
goodness and love- so will he treat dellcately
the subject that was near and dear to her. How
apt we are In the trials and tumultS of life to drift
away from and lose sight of this living faith
that was so real to us as children
One OF our American poets says:
" In happy days of joy and.light,
When life was fair and all things bright,
When hope had never known decay,
Nor golden dreams had passed away,
How easy then it was to see
That God in love was leadingIme.
"But when, where waters darkly flow,
My taltering feet were made to go,
And in their way were forced to press
Upon the flowers fain would bless
A harder thing it was to see
That God in love misleading me-
But as many times as we have seen such con-
elusive proof of his love and care we should
never cease to trust him. No matter if our pur-
poses in life are defeated !; no matter if our
dearest treasures are taken from u.s. remember
how you have taken from your child that which
you knew was hurtful although he was not
able to comprehend why, and trust yourself in
your heavenly Fathers hands with a faith that
cannot be shaken, and may still sing with the
poeteSS
But now clearly see and know
That every separate throb of woe,
Each grief could not understand
Was but the touch of his dear handn
