The bible in Our schools.


Men ask, Shall we teach the Bible
in weekday school? Why not lay
the stress on teaching religion. with
or without the Bible? George w. Ca
BILE asks in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Religion will still be in its eternal
youth when the Bible has fulfilled its
mighty Office, and passed away from
that heaven where there is no tenn
pie. Religion is not knowledge OF
certain things; it is state OF
the heart in which all knowledge
should be received and used. How
can any good teacher help but teach
religion? 1t is co-extensive with the
universe. 1t is not mere ecclesi-
astical or academical tenets; it is not
any part Of life, it is only the whole
science and art OF life animated and
inspired by universally pervasive
and perfect philosophy, the very al
phabet of all correct teaching, an
alphabet whose Alpha and Omega are
Unseltishness.
But unseltishness is not self-annihil-
alton. nor any effort after it. 1t is
but the suhordination of Self to its
place in the universal harmony. Its
result is-what its motive must never
be or the result fails-an inmeasur-
ably greater and better aggrandize-
ment Of self than any self-seeking can
possibly attain. True teaching. then,
whether in the Bible or not, can be
only that sOrt which moves the
student to ask, Of every offered
acquisition, not How can this serve
Self? but, What self-equipment will
this add for that blessed service of the
universal harmony, which by its
nature tends to make the whole uni
verse myself. and saves me from the
folly and ruin OF trying to make Self
my universeo

When the day is near it's close, And you flow in calm repoSe, Keeping still the light of May, Into nook and tiny bay.
 Gracious brook my heart you fl With pastures sweet and waters Still Where the loving Shepherd leads His willing flock in heavenly meads. 53premiums given away to every person using Savena. See pamphletin each pack age Sold by all grocers.

A HoUsEKEEPER's EXPERIENCE

My house-cleaning looked like noun
 tain, but I had used Pearline for some
 things, and in my desperation I resolved
 to experiment still further with it. My
 first step was to wash the winter blankets
 and the blanket wrappers of the family.
 took one-half a small package of Pearl
 inc and poured a pailful of boiling water
 on it, stirring it meanwhile. I could not
 wait for every particle to dissolve, so
 strained it through an old towel into
 tub two-thirds full of aoaame water, put my
 blankets into this and let them remain
 twenty minutes or half an hour, stirring
 them about every few minutes. I then
 lifted them out into another tub. of clear
 water of the same temperature as the
 first, and repeated the stirring process for
 a few moments. Lastly, lifted them into
 third tub of water still of the same tenn perature with little blueing added; and
 folding them nicely loosened the tension on the Wringer and wrung them lightly through it, taking them one at time as soon as finished to the line and hanging
 evenly across the middle, being careful
 not to stretch them over over the line,
 but pull and stretch them below that they
 might be even. The wrappers were treat
 ed in the same way, and hung over the line by the back seam, and when nearly dry each front edge pinned evenly to line. All dried to look and feel like new. s'I then descended to the cellar, and gathered up every washable thing, empty firkins and crooks, preserve jars that had missed a proper cleaning, empty pails, etc., and all emerged sweet and shining from hot Pearline bath, Shelves were cleaned with 1t, and 1t took the place of strength for removing dirt. Ascending | to the chambers, when the carpets were up Pearllne left my floors and paint clean
 and sweet with hard scrubbing, slop or sand. ..ts <. - " v. x sszs sss-4 v YAH the washable draperies, including the lace ones sof. the, parlor, were treated the same as the hlankets, with the excep- l ton of a little boiled starch added to the
 blueiIlg water. The lace draperies were hung lengt wise, and old sheets were first
 hung over the line, to which the lace was | fastened. A..gss .sssasa ss.s
 sIn q words wherever strength was needed let Pearline do the work, and you would hardly believe what it could
 accomplish, and what 8 saving of labor, time and patience it proved. n- Bostoa | WGtcltMG1s. assEl isfS
