Reflections Of a Bachelor.

From the Neao York Press']
There are very few men who aren't asham-
ed of some of their relatives.
When a man admires married woman
and she knows it, she will never admit that
he is homely.
Why is it when women sleep together they
always spend half the night talking about
their husbands?
When a man tells another man about bis
approaching marriage, he tries TO use jaded,
matter of-fact tone.
A woman never sees fussy little wadded
net cap for baby without wanting to snug
gle her face down in it,
The worst tempered woman in the world
tries her best to look angelic when she has
her picture taken with baby in her lap.
A woman can never quite understand what
is going to become of her husband when
they get to heaven, If there is no such thing
as marriage there.
The average man spends the first six
months after his marriage W ondering why he
didn't do it sooner, and the next six wonder
ing why he did 1t at all.

the pastor and his wife since their arriv-

nual fair was recently held. 1t was the
enterprise of the Woman's League and
was we'll described in advance by the
Messenger" of the society. The Sec
rotary says: "All the proceeds of this
and all other enterprises of the Woman's
League will be devoted to the funds of
the parish so long as there is need for
them in the payment of debts or to meet
current expenses"
The Messenger also contains the fol-
lowing address to 1.-THE stranger within
our gates" "Our house was built by
the generous founders of our church
much larger than was demanded for the
accommodation of the people who then
we're, or at any future time would prob
ably become, resident members of the
congregation. The intention was to
provide ample room for any number of
that great throng that pours into Cali
fornia each year, who might feel in
clined to worship with US. Many of
these builders of our house have gone
away by death and removal. leaving the
chairs they occupied to be with all the
others their gift to whomsoever would
occupy them. Most of those who sit
about you when you attend service here
have come to the town since the house
was built, and have ownership by no
other title than yours-the free gift Of
the earlier members of the congregation.
We wish you to know your equal right
to the privileges of this house, and to
assure you of our earnest wish that you
should avail yourself of the common
heirship.
And not only in the matter of wor-
Shipping with US, but in the social and
fraternal life of the church we would be
glad to have you feel yourselves at home
with US. We try to arrange our several
meetings so that few weeks shall pass
without some sort of assembling of the
people for purposes other than worship.
If you will attend any one Of these you
hear announced from the pulpit. we will
be glad to see you. and will try to bring
it about that you shall not be longer
known to us or to yourselves as "a
stranger within our gates"

Augusta Merritt we're original in thought
and construction. Mrs. Franklin Hoop
er considered THE Religious Education
OF Children" and her talk was full of
practical thought and suggestions. Mrs.
Hooper said:
Two primary institutions are reepon-
sible for the religious training of our
children-the home and the Sunday.
school," She spoke forcibly of the laxity
OF parents in religious home education,
and condemned the unkind criticism of
church service so often INDUCED in,
which only increases the natural irrever-
ence of American children.
"The kindergarten" was the subject
OF paper by Mrs. L. B. Edwards, and
she asserted that the best text book was
the child heart. and study of the indi.
vidual child is absolutely necessary to
successful results. Fear should be elm
mated, and the true method Of instruc-
lion should be to arouse the craving for
knowledge and search for truth.
In this the mother should be an inn
portant factor, for you cannot bring up
child in the way he should go unless
you go that way yourself. A child has
no moral nature to begin with, and vir-
tue only comes with intellectual devel-
opment."
Miss Nellie Hart added to the pleasure
of the hour with delightful solo, after
which Mrs. Benjamin Kenyon gave one
OF the best papers of the day, on Public
School Education" showing the strength
and the weakness of our present system
