We are born in this world, and vet
We are somewhat strangers to it.
We have to take ourselves as we are,
and yet we know that we are not
what we were meant to be. Ideas Of
which the sun and moon and stars
and the wide earth know nothing
seize hold of us, and we have in our
heart of hearts such affinity with
them that it's as if in some deep sense
we were born Of them. az, indeed, in
our Utmost being we move toward
them. And 30 I say we are pilgrims;
every one who enters on the moral
life is a pilgrim; his eyes are set far
ahead-it is not another land he
seeks, another earthly home, but an
attainment of the spirit, rest for
the affections, a company Of souls
wherein perfect love doth reign.
We struggle on, we fight our lone
ly battles, we try to meet each days
tasks and duties, we catch but
glimpses of the perfect goal to which
our being tends. and yet, if one mans
confidence can be Of any use to an
other, let me say that believe that
goal there is, that the moral require
ment shall have some day it's fulfill
ment, that we dream of and the heart
signs for will at last come true. We
are not pilgrims travelling nowhere.
We have country, though it is not
yet.-W. L. Salter in Light

A Plea for Voice Culture

A good deal is being done to educate
the hands. In my opinion 1t is becom-
ing vital matter to also educate the
voice, not for special purposes, but for
everyday use. Women rarely use their
lungs and throats wisely. know many
who can hardly be heard distinctly
across table. This is often affectation;
more often it is habit formed from a
belief that a woman should not be loud
voiced. 1t is not necessary to screech in
order to be heard, that is if your voice
has been discreetly used. A child's voice
is generally pleasant until made unpleas-
ant by bad habits or a bad spirit. But
an unused, neglected voice, when driven
to effort, makes a bad mess Of it. de.
ny that woman is formed by nature so
as to be compelled to shrek in falsetto
in order to throw her voice to the dis
tance of five, ten or twenty rods.
Good etiquette requires for our com.
fort and highest accomplishment clear,
strong, full use of the voice. There
never was invented by art so charming
an instrument as a beautiful throat
Yet how many voices are wretchedly
cracked and squeaking, lam ambitious
as mother that each one of my chill
dren shall have fine vocal organs; well
developed, well trained and delightful
to be heard That is, we should moi
only be able to talk to people all tn,
way to them, but so as to delight then
when we are heard.-Mary E. Spencer

her husband she makes her home so

an excellent cook herself, and at times
she has for days at time prepared her
