CHANGE MOURNING cUsroMa

AZ q People We Are Tearing Away
from Barbaric Customs.
zone of the surest Indications that.
as q people, we are tearing away from
barbaric CUSTOMS" writes Edward w.
Box in the Ladies' Home Journal. rs
found in the changes which. slowly but
surely, have come over our mourning
customs and funeral emblems. Tue
time is not 30 far back when the an
nOuncement In q funeral notice that
friends will please omit flowers was
an unheard-Of thing. When this nrst
appeared people wondered at 1t.
Now one meets the request In numer-
GUS cases, and the effect has been goou.
Gates Ajar' and similar vulgar noral
monstrosities are being discarded, and
the modest laurel wreath or cross. or
sheaf of wheat have In good taste sup
planted them. Flowers for the dead
are not to be decried 30 long as they
have q meaning or carry q message OF
tender sympathy to the living, or attest
q love, reverence or respect for the
dead. But when offered missionless, In
profusion. jammed or crammed Into
every imaginable MISUNDERSTANDING
design or device, the custom Tor habit
of thus remembering the dead becomes
offensive and is best honOred In the
breach" Mr. Box also expresses hearty
ga isfaction that the day Of big funeral
corteges is passing, and that the heavy
black Grape at the door of the home
which death has entered has been sup
planted by simple unobtrusive wreaths
OF green or blossoms. With equal grati-
fication he notes that the sight OF young
children. fairly sitting beneath the
heavy folds Of mourning. Is becoming
more and more rare. In this connec-
ton he writes: Il never thoroughly
understood until recently the depth OF
affection and the sure, sane judgment
which prompted that member OF my
family, who. when he was dying. asked
that his wife and children should re-
frain fiom wearing anything which
favored Of mourning at his passing.
1t was dimcult to do: the heart seemed
to prompt otherwise. But it was done,
and the wisdom Of my fathers dying
wish has often come home to his sur
vivors when they have seen the custom
followed which has made relatives
and friends sombre just to look at each
other"

Make It right to sell whisky. and 1t

1t is not Gods will that any religious

God will always hear us when we
pray. IL we kneel down on his side Of
the line.
Suppose there are hypocrites in the
church; does that make your SHINING
any safer?
Begin every day with this thought:
What happens to-day will be what God
sees Is best
The Christian never has to count his
cash to find out how much he has to be
thankful for.
God Is being slandered in the home
where the children do not want to see
Sunday come.
While some men are preaching, the
devil knows that IL will be safe for him
to take a nap
The man who loves sin Is a sinner,
no matter how much he pays for a
pew in church.
4 cold church will soon begin to warm
up when Gods fire Is burning In the
preachers heart.
What shall 1t profit a man to be a
brother-in law to the church. II he Is
stranger TO Christ:
Isn't there a strong touch of hypocrisy
In thanking God for the bread and find
ing fault with the cook?
Touching the heart OF a child with
Gods truth. is the greatest thing that
can be done tn this world.
There is something wrong with the
piety of the man whose religion is never
heard of outside of church.
There are little duties which are the
greatest duties, because they are dutie.;
which God has chosen for US.
Seeking first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness. is the way to obtain
all we need of everything else.
1t does not require great ability to do
great things. The poor widow with
two mites gave more than the rich.
The possibilities for good in one child
started right, are greater than in an
army Of men who have gone wrong.

Is doing more for the Lord than other
men, be has begun to say good-by TO

Our Electoral College.

Ex-President Harrison, In writing o..
"rhe Presidential Office" in the La
dies Home Journal. presents an inter-
esting bit Of Information regarding our
method of choosing Chief Magistrate.
The origin of the Electoral College"
he says, has been the subject Of much
speculation. The only American prece-
dent Is found In the first Constitution Of
Maryland, where provision was made
for the choice Of State Senators by cleo
tors chosen by popular vote In specified
districts. In the Massachusetts con-
vention Mr. Bowdoin said: This meth
cd of choosing the President was prob
ably taken from the manner of choos-
ing Senators under the Constitution Of
Maryland An attempt has been made
to find the suggestion Of the Electoral
College. as we have come to call it, by
some in the method then in use OF
choosing the German Emperor, and by
others In the method Of choosing Il
Pope. by the College Of Cardinals. Sir
Henry Maine thinks that the members
Of the convention were to a considera
ble extent guided by the example of the
Holy Roman Empire And as Mary
land, where the Electoral College was
first used, was a Catholic colony, the
suggestion seems pla usible. But there
was this difference: our electors are not
a permanent body. but fresh men chos-
en- every four years"

the knowledge that so many forms of
