In the House.

WAsHtxeroS CRY. Aug. 1.-Two dis
puted senate amendments TO the sundfy

sition 10 give each of the arid land states

lands. TO be reclaimed by irrigation, which
the house agreed to after the irrigation
question had been discussed by many
Western members. The other amend.
merit was theappropriation of $3.50. 900 %

The Home.
IRey. DR., VIM, LlOyd,

hcV. LIZ. w ILL., LlOyu.l
The sweetest word in the Saxon
tongue is home. 1t has in it the
brightness ofsunshine and the fragrance
of flowers. 1t suggests love, and rest,
and gladness. 1t calls up pictures
painted imperishably on our hearts.
1t speaks of tatherly care, mothers
love, and wife's tenderness and
devotion. The home is the safe guard
of the nation. 1t is the nursery in
which only can be grown manly men
and womanly women. But into many,
many homes there often steals a
shadow of fear that darkens the sun
light and drops bitterness into the
cup of joy. 1t is the fear that the
strong man, whose arm or brain wins
the bread or creates the comfort of
that family may be smitten down by
death. The majority of fathers find it
almost impossible to lay aside sufficient
from the yearly income to insure the
family against adversely and possible
want. Life is SO insecure. The vigorous
man to-day may be still in death
to morrow. What, then, can tighten
the gloom of the widows shrouded
heart, the grief OF the fatherless7 1t is
then that the genuine, honest life
assurance institution, society or COM
pany steps in and does its work of
benehcence. l tell you a mans steps
are much lighter, his spirit more
bouyant, as he goes out in the morn
ing to his work if he knows, come
what may, in his home lies a paper
which secures his loved ones from
poverty and will bear them up until
they are able TO work for themselves.
1t is because of the fact that these
societies are dealing with the most
sacred of all things, life. and the most
vital Of institutions, home, which
makes it imperative they should be
honest and faithful to the trust reposed
in them. A fraudulent life insurance
company is not only commercial
offence it is a moral crime.

No Success Without PUSH"

Success is big word, and one that
may be variously defined. 1t means
one thing to one man and another
thing to another. In one walk of life
its Interpretation is entirely different
from that in some other, and that is
success from one point Of view is
almost failure from another. But
there is this in common to all kinds Of
success, it comes as the result Of effort.
Whatever falls at ones feet, whatever
is received by inheritance, whatever is
natural endowment, or comes by re-
quest, is not success, however much OF
good there may be about it. Success
is that which is striven for-that which
comes as victory to the warrior, or
that which is as a laurel on the poets
brow.
To achieve success, therefore, effort
must be put forth. Very generally
it must be pers istent, aggressive, per-
severing effort, that kind of effort that
is so happily summed up in the little
word "push." To be prosperous
merchant or manufacturer requires
"push." To be an acceptable clerk
or book keeper requires "push," and
to be really useful in any walk of life,
from the most exalted to the most
commonplace, requires "push." "Push
is a word also with as many different
shades of meaning as there are persons
to whom it may be applied. 1t is
wonderfully classic, but all its
definitions there is this idea about it.
To drive forward. Strength and
energy of whatever kind the individual
may possess are to be used as he is
able to use them as circumstances
permit to drive something forward.
Very generally this something is the
work Of duty in hand, or the business
venture upon which he is engaged, or
the social project he has in view. To
be unsuccessful in this world-for
failure may come, however hard we
may strive, commands pity, but to be
without "push" is to be contemplate.
When we want to say something ex-
tremely severe about a young man
when we want to condemn him un-
conditionally; when we want to con.
vey the idea that he will never achieve
success or be Of any particular useful
ness 10 the world anywhere, we say
"He has no push about him..
Without "push" one floats with ths
tide, driven hither and thither by ths
wind and currents
