Few can estimate the difficulties that
surround many of those to whom we
go. I do not wonder that those who
leave God and his power out of the
question give up the problem of the
reformation of criminals in despair, and
inform the world that some through
heredity, and others through environ
ment, are rendered absolutely ire
deemable. Human effort and human
| schemes often fail most miserably, but
we in the Salvation army believe with
all the strength of the old mystics in
the power of God. We come across
many cases in our slum-Work where
both these great factors, heredity and
environment, have worked against the
criminal, and yet we can record, even
in such cases, wonderful change of
heart and life and the eradication of
the evil tendencies.-Maud Darlington
Booth in Harper's Weekly.
General A. w. Greedy, in considering
THE Personal Side of Washington" in
April Ladies Home Journal, will bring
to bear interesting light upon him as
son, husband neighbor, business man,
slave owner (as were nearly all Vir-
ginia landowners in his day. and
Christian. With respect to the charges
that Washington was neither duti-
full nor loving son, General Greedy will
say: SIS There seems, indeed to
have been what may be called an in
compatibility of temperament, arising
possibly from their possessing strong
and similar characters. 1t should
be remembered that Washington's
training in the broad schools of politics
and war threw him not only in con-
tact with the sturdy, rough humanity
of the frontier but also with cultured
men of all professions, while his
mothers life was practically confined
to single Virginia county. To
his mother, whose material conditions
in middle life were, if anything, super
ior to those of her earlier years, it
seemed no less than proper that the
Colony of Virginia should settle pen
sion upon her for her sons services,
and it took Washingtons direct in
f1uence to prevent such action being
taken by the Virginia legislature.
| Nearly every letter of the mother is
a complaint of the hard times and the
difficulties under which she exists. the
inference being doubtless conveyed
that Washington was neglectful of her.
The determined old lady, then
some eighty years of age, persisted in
maintaining an establishment, and in
conducting a plantation of which she
was sole mistress, and which she could
not herself manage. At the same time
she considered that her son was a
banker who could be drawn on to
make good all deficiencies resulting
from thievish overseers, bad manage
ment, and unfavorable crop conditions.
These drafts Washington had met I'M
compfainingly for years, and even then
sent her the last money he had in
hand. Advising his mother to
lease her estate and live with one of
| her children he offered her home at
! Mount Vernon, but as an honest man
! and filial son he stated clearly the
| situation and its alternatives. In

j guished visitors she must either dress

wife, or she must live in her own
rooms, which would be trying to her.
