family register. He may become the
ruler Of the most powerful nation on
The globe. He should be hailed with
! joy. How will he be welcomed I?
What preparations have been made
for his comfort and welfare ? And
what, by the way. is his inheritance !?
70 every woman his coming means
quicker heart beat. 1t has cost
something to have him come. Every
mother knows that. Yet how much
he may bring! What do we owe to
him and what does he owe to us /?
Every mother knows what she owes
to the latest arrival. Size owes him
first of all, life-rObust, natural, joyous
lIfe--the only kind of life worth liv-
ing. But she also knows that she
must have that sort of life herself,
that she can't give it unless she has it,
She owes him a fair chance, grip on
happiness that will give him a grip
on fortune. This is rich inheritance,
but it is every mothers duty to give
hun all these. How? BY getting
them herself before he comes. If she
is sick, nervous, miserable aud despOn-
dent, she is making a heavy cross for
his young shoulders. She owes him
a sound mind, a strong constitution
and cheerful disposition. Aud these
she cannot give unless
HIS COMING
is hailed with joy instead of feared
with sDrrow.
Every woman should know that
science has furnished many improved
means of safely rearing children. And
that it has made it easy for their
mothers when they come. If the new
arrival is awaited with sorrow, mis-
givings and tear, there is something
wrong. He will have as an interi-
lance the wrong sort of start in life.
TO make light of the event is inhuman
and unnatural. The society woman
who regards babies as Questionable"
is past reform. She is a menace TO
progress and civilization. To fear or
shrink from it is crime, not by the
laws of society but by the laws of he
redity, for the mothers condition
reacts upon the offspring.
Birth is the beginning of all things.
1t is the fret law of nature. Ifnatural,
it should be easy, and it is always easy
when the right preparation is made.

physician in America, Dr.. II. V

Whittier have we turned our eyes for
strength? Have we not sought it in
the numerical power of the church
and its various branches? Have we
not depended on the individual abili-
ty of ourselves, instead of looking abb
solutely TO God? Brethren if there
will ever be any moral reform in our
land it must be by the Christian first
whose devotion to God in his consis-
tenCy sets in motion all the nObler
qualities of the soul, which gives TO it
the power of defence, and aggressive
opposition to all sin in all forms. 1t

Jesus won a perfect, complete victory
because He in His incarnation did
not sin in thought, word or deed, and
the words He spoke had that quicken
ing influence which saved His people
from death and drove Satan and his
advocates in to sudden flight. b.
Sin is destructive to us and how can
we manifest the life giving power of
Christ if we continually indulge in
what is directly opposed to it. Be
hold the Lords hand is not shortened
that it can not save, neither His ear
heavy that He can not hear, but your
iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid
His face from you that He will not
hear. brethren il We can claim to
be followers or representatives OF
Christ here on earth, let us be so
in thought word and deed, that the
powers of Christ may be known in
the moral reform of Christians, of the
land in which we live, the salvation OF
souls, and the building up and
strengthening of the walls of Zion.
But 10 do this let us consider the de-
mands OF truth.
An author has said "without truth
there can be no other virtue" The
salvation OF mans soul depends up
on The honesty of bis heart. Much
more does a Christian improvement
depend on the sameprinciple. A hyp-
ocrit is never honest, therefore you
can never get him out of the church
until you thrust him out, yet his life
is manifest to all, and The church is
injured as long as he is in it. But are
we not all hypocrites 10 a certain de-
gree at different times in our life ?
