Just a little while2 I promise to be still
and not take up too much space. Let's
quit quarreling. sisters. and give the poor
men a rest. Every sensible woman VIII
do all that she can to make her home the
brightest and happicst spot on earth.
ASK and ye shall receive" The promise
stands so. why need we worry? When
everything goes wrong. L always lie down
and close my eyes and thoughts and lie
there without thinking ten or fifteen min
utes. then j can get up with a song in
my heart and new strength to do battle
with household cares. This is a sure cure
for wrinkles! Try it. sisters. Rearing
children is one of the questions that
can never be mastered. Firmness, gentle
ness and heart fun of Gods love are
the first requirements. Then, if we go
to God daily. He will show us the way
TO raise them. How our hearts ache for
Aunt Susie IN her sore trial. and how
many of US know from a like experience
how hard it is to say Thy will, Father"
May Gods richest blessings ever rest
upon her and heal the fresh wound in her
heart If any of the sisters want doilieS,
centerpieces, napkins or tablecloths work

Johns and "Jocs." They are being
criticised and blamed and numerically
picked TO pieces. bit by bit. until they are
in a sad plight indeed, and certainly de-
serve the sympathy of every one. Now,
let US each and every one examine our
own hearts and lives carefully and hon
Cstly, and before we condemn our guide
man, see we ourselves are faultlesS

in many instances we are TO blame as
much as John. L heartily agree with
Louisiana Subscriber that the children
should be taught To help the father. There
are So many things that children can do
that seem small and insignificant to 9TH
ers which are really great help TO the

papers near so that he can read and rest.
That man would be a brute indeed that
