We can obtain time to favor ourselves
when necessary, not only by sighting
our work, bat also by change of occupar
tion aud surroundings. The woman who
from morn till night drudges about her
house, in her every day workdress, does
great injustice to herself and family.
How refreshing and restfal would she
find partial sponge bath, the combing
of her hair, and the fresh afternoon dress,
with her clean white apronl Ny sister,
incorporate this in the list of your daily
Christian duties! If possible, lie down
for few moments each day on the bed
or lounge; if you but "lose YOURSELF" it
will prove rest.
Take your sewing or mending into the
cool parior of hot afternoon (do not
mind the litter, where you will zee new
things, or on the porch, or under the
shade of the naples, but don't hive"
yourself in the very Identical corner, in
the same chair, to look ont of the very
same window pane that you have for the
last twenty or thirty yearsl Let your
work lie in your lap while you take from
the stand, which trust you always have
handy with few choice books and
papers, and read a soulful, inspiring
poem, humorous article, or the ever
varying news of the day. Take the
children for drive or walk, run into the
home of congenial friend for few mo-
ments, and take in an occasional picnic
or excursion. If mother, with children
about you, devote part of the evening,
at least, to social enjoyment with them;
let your voice mingIe with theirs in mer-
riment and song retouch the organ or
piano for their pleasure, and be assured
the memory and influence of such an
evening will be deeper and more hallowed
to them than if spent in making them the
most elaborate and beautiful garments
that must "perish with the using" while
you will certainly renew your youthful
feelings by forgetting. for the time, the
cares and burdens of maturer years. We
must make the most OF life as It passes
take our toll Of rest and pleasure, - we
grind at our daily tasks, or VIC will never
get it, r a
