He Careth For You.


 He Careth For You.
 ' "Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you. '-1 Peter, VI
 How strong and sweet my Fathers care The word, like music in the air, Comes answering to my whispered prayer,
 He cares for thee The thought great wonder with it brings, My cares are all such little things, But to the truth my glad faith clings,
 He cares for me- Yet keep me ever in Thy love.
 Dear Father, watching from above. And let me still Thy mercy prove,
 And care for me. Cast me not off for all my sin,
 But make me pure and true within And teach me how thy smile to win,
 Who cares for me. @ still, in summers golden glow, Or wintry storms of wind and snow, Love me my Father: let me know
 Thy care for me-. And will learn to cast the care
 Which like heavy load I bear
 Down at thy feet in lowly prayer And trust in thee. For naughtcan hurt me, shade or shine, Nor evil thing touch me, or mine, Since thou with tenderness divine, Dost care for me. } All fair-minded people will rejoice to know that the Temple and it's great heart ed protector, Mrs. Carse, have been cleared from the momenfary atmosphere of dis trust which enemies and would-be owners of the beautiful building contrived to raise. Although the attack on Mrs. Carse and the Temple management was made during Mrs. Carse's absence for recuper. ation, she promptly returned to the charge Her answer, published at length in the Union Signal, is pertinent, fair and con. vincing. The cowardly attack has failed of the desired end. That confidence ir Mrs. Carse and the Temple management remains unshaken is proven by the com. ments of the influential dailies, of Chi. cago's most trusted business men and by the increased gifts to the Temple treasury from all parts of the country. The Chi cago Herald, one of the oldest of the great papers of the great worlds fair city, thus gives its endorsement:
 s It is impossible for any fair-minded mar or woman to understand the attacks made from certain quarters upon Mrs. M. B Carse in her capacity of manager of the Woman's Temple, of this city. The build ing itself is beautiful structure. It is an honor to the city and a splendid mon ument to the labors of noble and self-sac rificing women in worthy cause. That Mrs. Carse is an enterprising and clear headed business woman is shown by thu convincing reply which she made to hel aecusers. Every one of the accusat ons against her is taken up and answered il such a way as to leave no doubt or ques ton possible. While Mrs. Carse refuse: to be drawn into newspaper contro versy, she covers the whole ground in st conclusive manner that further debat, | Is rendered impossible. The time ant manner of bringing the charges agains her management of the Temple were il themselves so cowardly as to excite sus picion. Mrs. Carse boldly mentions tn names of the prominent gentlemen wh' indorsed the financial policy of the enter prise and explains their connection witt it. She reviews her own association witt
 
 every cent of money that has passed through her hands. She shows the finan cia1 standing of the enterprise to be goot and improving. The result of her labor and of those of the noble women asso ciated with her shows for itself. It is evi dent that the management of the Woman Temple is worthy of continued encourage ment on the part of every one intereste' | in the callSa of tamnarancn A few years ago Chinaman who ha' married an Irish girl in New York wille his unborn child to his relatives in China The child was born after the death of tn l father and the bar Ibarous laws of tha christian state permitted the Chinese rel atives to take the child from it's mother Perhaps this and other occurrences of lik character have awakened the sense c justice in the legislators of New York Certain it is that both houses have no, unanimously repealed the statute an made the mother joint guardian with tn father. This is now the sixth state in tn union where this simplest principle of jus tice is recognized. The others are Iowa Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon and Washing ton. The unaceountable wonder is tha it is not so in forty-four instead of six.
 UP FROM YOUR KNEEs.-T There is man a sick woman in this country to-day, wit lips parched with fever, to whom the tast of fruit would be delicious, healing med cine, but she cannot have it because th money that should be hers has gone t the saloon; but no saloon. keepers wifi needs to go without fruit.
