A childless home is cherries home.
The maternal instinct exists in every
woman, and when it is ungratlfied she
is deprived of much of the happiness of
life. 1t often happens that childless-
ness is due to some cause which can
be removed, and often is removed by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scriptlon. The vigor and vitality which
this remedy imparts to the delicate
womanly organs, puts them in con
dition of normal health, the lack of
which is often the sole obstruction to
maternity. Every woman should read

grounds, fingered to rest and watch
the squirrels and commune with ma

who paused. He espied one of the con-

squirrel. The man with the camera,
appreciating the unique value of the
picture, offered the convict 10 cents
to allow himself to be photographed.

ADVICE FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Do Not be too Exacting in Your Demands
Upon Your Pastor.

Some people are very exacting III
their demands upon their pastor
They think he ought to visit every
family in his congregation once every
month at the outside, and some think
it strange if he does not do this every
week.
Some people, of course. have never
troubled themselves to find out about
the other duties of a pastor, and the
demands that are made upon his time
by many things not Immediately con-
nected with his congregation, but wor-
thy OF his time and attention.
If his church is located in town be
must prepare and preach two sermons
and hold prayer meetings every week,
attend to other important meetings
connected with his church and meetings
of general religious character in his
town, preach funerals, marry people,
visit the sick, look after the ungodly,
assist neighboring pastor in a meet
ing occasionally, attend associations
and missionary meetings, and do
many other things too numerous to
mention.
When he gets through with all these
things he finds often that he has not
too much time left in which to visit
people who are well and attending to
their religious duties as all others
should do.
The country pastor also has his mum.
erous duties, which are just as honor
GUS as as those of the city and town
pastor. And many times he is forced
to supplement his salary by farming or
some other employment.
Do not complain if your pastor does
not come to see you, even if you are
sick, unless you are certain IN the first
place that he is at home, and unless
you are certain also that you have sent
him word you are sick. You send for
a physician when you are sick or he
would never find out that you wanted
him. Why not send for the pastor ?
It is possible for you to be sick and re-
main sick for several weeks and the
pastor know nothing about it espe-
cialIy if you do not attend the services
of the church regularly, and manifest
some interest in your church. He can
not kno that you are sick unless some
one tell him. He can't find out these
things by intuition.
A certain pastor called to see the
husband of one of his members who
had been sick about two weeks, and
she complained that be had not called
before. The pastor told her that he
had just learned that her husband was
sick. She replied by saying that she
thought it was the PASTORS business
to look up the sick in his community.
She had never been to hear that pastor
preach, although she was member
of his church, nor had her husband
heard him. We might relate some in
stances of our own experience also to
illustrate the unseasOnableness Of some
people in their demands upon a pas
tors time.
We have observed that as rule the
pastor never has any trouble with
those memb bers of his congregation who
attend the services of the church reg
ularly and do their duty as they under
stand it. Don't complain OF your pas
tor, but encourage and help him.
