Three Angels
They say this life is barren, drear and
cold.
Ever the same sad song was sung OF Old,
Ever the same long weary tale is told,
And to our lips is held the cup of strife.
And yet-a little love can sweeten life.
They say our hands may grasp but Joys
destroyed,
Youtr has but dreams, and age an aching
void,
Whose Dead sea fruit. long, long ago has
cloyed.
Whose night with wild tempestuous
storms is life
And yet little hope can brighten life.
They say we fling ourselves in wild de-
spair
Amidst the broken treasures scattered
there,
Where ali is wrecked, where all once
promised fair;
And stab ourselves with sorrows two
edged knife
And yea little patience strengthens life.
Is it then true, this tale of bitter grief,
OF mortal anguish finding no relief?
Lo midst the winter shines the laurers
leaf
Three angels share che lot of huma
strife,
Three angels glorify the path of life.
Love. Hope and Patience cheer as on our
way.
Love, Hope and Patience form our spirits
stay,
Love, Hope and Patience watch us day by
day.
And bid the desert bloom with beauty YER
mol,
Until the earthly fades in the eternal.
f. S., in Temple Bar,
Maine owns at least one woman who has
given corsiderab BILE thought to the silver
question. She is waitress in the hotel al
Portsmouth where William Jennings Bry-
an spent a day recently. Mr.. Bryan was
assigned place at the table where she
presided and after his meal left without
fleeing her, whereupon she remarked:
why, thought people said that man was
for free silver"
The Philadelphia Times recently asked
the following question: l have heen much
interested in the social problems. May /
introduce a personal question which /
think will interest many as deeply and
directly as ii does me? The case is this:
man is In position to marry either
one of two girls. Both are young, beau
tifu of good family educated and do
mestically speaking, would make good
wives, The first girl he loves very much,
hut her liking for him has not reached
the passion of true love-still she would
marry him. The second is deeply in love
with him, but he does not love her Now,
which union would be likely TO result In
the most happiness for the man?
The Times offered several prizes for the
received large number of responses. The
first prize was awarded TO 7. r. Williams
whose answer was as follows
Should a man marry the woman he
loves or the woman who loves him? To
marry in either case he would commit a
moral wrong. In NJ. Corelli novel enti-
tied 'WormWood" a vivid picture is drawn
showing what abieet suffering and mis-
cry a foolish girls yes instead of no"
can br ng uTon herself and friends True,
fictitious. but we all have observed less
striking examples OF the same sort in
everyday life.
woman has no right TO consent to
marry a man whom she does not love,
either not knowing what love is or fancy
ing she can learn to love him afterwards.
A man, en- the other hand, does wrong in
offering his hand in marriage to woman
he merely admires or whose fami he ed
teens or whose Inheritance he prizes, no
matter how much the woman may love
him,
Marriage is a sacred rite. instituted by
God and designed not only for the pro-
pagation of the human race, but for the
promotion of the happiness and mutual
welfare of man. Whoever, then, wilfully
misplaces that happiness which should
pervade the married state by a marriage
not based upon mutual love transgresses
Gods law
But as m. f. c." seems to imply that
the man is to select one or the other, his
quest on then resolves itself into Which
is the less of the two evils" In answer
to this question l would say the former,
viz: for the man to marry the woman
he loves, for the following reasons:
First, there would be more likelihood
of a woman falling in love with her hus-
band, on account of her mobility of mind.
Woman's fickleness has become proverb-
ial. And there is truth in it, BY nature
she is not so strong as man nor as deter
mined and stab in nd. From her very
nature, hen, she may learn to love the
man she marries There are many more
chances for this to happen than for
man to learn to love his wife.
In the second place, the child horn into
the family win tend to unite husband and
wife in mutual love. The mother must be
below the brute if she does not love her
own offspring, Some women never learn
to love so intensely until they reach the
state of motherhood. 1t would not be err
roneous, there fore, in this case to pre-
sumo that the newborn babe may be the
means of bringing mutual love into the
household.
In the tn I'd place, it is in accordance
with law of nature-the survival of the
httest. The family is a unit. Husband and
wife, theoretically, are one flesh and
spirit Yet the husband is the one who
guides the welfare and protects the in
terests of the family He represents the
family before the wcrld. and if it is ever
TO become famous it is to come through
him. Women. | concede, have made some
families famous, but this is the exception.
