Bearer 0f Burdens,

Christ revealed God as the worlds
burden bearer, full of an exquisite kind
ness and sympathy; that what He was
through three and thirty years God was
through all the ages; that what He
was to publican and sinner in Bethle-
hem God was for all manned and
wrecked hearts in all worlds that no
human tear falls but God feels it; that
no blow smites the suffering heart but
God shrinks and suffers; that with
wistful longing He follows the publican
and the prodigal. waiting for the hour
when He may recover the youth to his
integrity or to lead the man grown
gray in sin back to his Fathers house.

Carry Our Own Burden.

Let any man carry his own burden,
and he is doing much more than saving
himself. He is perhaps making the best
possible contribution to the strength of
the common life. Let any man be lavish
Of his strength in serving others, and
he is doing much more than helping
others. He is reinforcing his own

Dear Sisters;
think the reason we ask and receive help
from the busy people Is because they are the
willing hearted. They know just how to ap-
preciate the tiny bits of help they receive, and
out Of very thankfuiness want to pass the bless
ing on, while people of leisure, having no need
of others help, soon grow Indifferent to the care
and needs of the busy ones and by thought
lessly asking fayors of them often add to their
already heavy burden.

Dear AUNT Nddge:

Dear Aunt Mddge:
felt 1t an honor Ia be missed" by YOU and
perhaps it is just as well for the readers for me
to be missed" as SO many others fill the
column so acceptably.
Your question why we do not appeal to peo-
pie of leisure for help is one often discussed |
think the real reason is that people who are
willing to help never have any leisure; how can
they? And SO when one of the people whose
time hangs heavily on their hands is led to
help, don't you know there is always such
ready excuse? If you had only come some
other day; but just to-day there is company, or
ride is planned, or any one of fifty excuses Is
always ready.
On the other hand the busy one always has
more planned than she can get through with
and If some extra thing comes up she can
always crowd out something and make room
for Its better more important substitute a
kind of "surv ival of the fittest".
After all do the people who live only for self
really enjoy life better, or as well, as the ones
who lend helping hard: This is not a conun-
drum, but who can answer it?
There are just as many burdens in the world
as there backs 10 bear them, and for every
one who refuses or neglects to take the burden
along some other back has to bear two; SO 1t
behooves US to be up and doing our part of
life's work while the day lasts, for the night
cometh when no man can work.
Let me remind the young cook that when
baking a strawberry pie, which will now De in
season, have the oven hot enough for biscuits,
and as soon as the crust is baked take 1t out and
the syrup will not have time to boil out.
Eco.
My Dear Ego:
US all good. | shall think of them often
and | hope the readers of our column will
give US their opinion on the question,
which enjoys life better, the selfish or the
helpful people. You all know what
answer would be given by

If President Hammond would come
down to Astoria, identify himself with

the 2S-s2 foot Pacific liners that are
necessary 10 the Asiatic trade cannot get
up to Portland on its alleged 22-foot
channel. and therefore Seattle must get
that conmerce-and see that every Port
lander understood It; If he would say TO
the producers OF the Columbian basin
that Astoria as their shipping point
would, by virtue of its possible heavy
ocean tonnage, add at least $3.50 a ton
to the value of their one and halt
million annual tons Of wheat, and prove
these facts by plain statistics, especially
by the table Of wheat exports and values
at the great ports on the Pacific coast as
published April 4, 1899, by the Oregonian
and republished in the Astorian; II he
would show to Portland business men
that the increased annual millions from
wheat exports would go into the hands
OF those who trade in Portland, and who
will continue to trade in that city with
Astoria as the seaport, but that this trade
win surely to Seattle II Portland permits
her to become the port Of Asiatic com

Of the Columbian basin; If Mr.. Hammond

right as the seaport, the desired end for
