MT. STERLING. KENTUCKY. TUESDAY NOvEMBEK2 27, 1900
Things That Mar Home Happiness.

The intercourse of many homes is
marred and spoiled by exhibitions
of a thoughtless spirit. Family
life should be blending of all the
tastes, dispositions, talents, gifts
and resources of all the members Of
the household. In each one there
should be self-restraint. No mem
Der may live in home circle as if
he were dwelling alone in greaf
house with only himself to consider.
He must repress much in himself
for the sake of the other members.
He must do many things which he
might not do if be were alone, be-
cause he is member of a little
community whose happiness and
good he is to seek at every point.
No household life can ever be made
truly ideal by all having their own
way. But many persons who are
tied up in family life forget this.
They expect to live as regardless of
others as if they were living alone.
They consider no ones comfort,
peace or pleasure but their own.
They let their own impulses have
full and free expression. They
make no effort to repress any ele
ments or dispositions in themselves
which tend to give pain to others.
They demand all their rights, not
remembering that the other mem
bers of the family have rights, too,
and that home happiness can be
secured only by the mutual surren-
der OF rights, each in honor prefer
rings, each seeking not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister

the patriarch Abraham. He wrote
"He was the father of Lot, and had
two wives. One was called Ish-

of sixteen, who left home to seek
/. his fortune. All his worldly pos
Hessions were tied up in bundle,
(which he carried in his hand. AS
he trudged along he met an old
neighbor, the captain of a canal
boat; and the following conversa-
. tion took place, which changed the
\ whole current of the boys life:
"Well, William, where are you
going?"
II don't know" he answered.
Father is too poor to keep me at
home any longer, and says | must
now make living for myself"
n William then told his friend that
the only trade he knew anything
about was soap and candle-making,
at which he helped his father while
at home.
"Well,' said the old man, '1et me
pray with you and give you little
advice, and then l will let you 60"
They both knelt upon the tow
path (the path along which the
horses that drew the canal boat
walked). The old man prayed ear
nestly for William, and then this
advice was given: someone will
soon be the leading soapmaker in
New York. 1t can be you as well
as any one. ! hope it may be. Be
good man. give your heart TO
Christ, give the Lord all that be-
longs to him of every dollar you
earn, make an honest soap, give a
full pound, and | am certain you
will be great, good and rich man" !"
NsWben the boy arrived in the city
he found it hard.to get work. Lone
some and far from home, he remem-
bered his mothers words, and the
last words Of Che canal boat. cap
tain. He was then and there led to
''seek first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness" He united with
the church. He remembered his
promise to the old captain. The
first dollar he earned brought up
the question of the Lords part. He
looked into the Bible, and found
the Jews were commanded to give
one tenth. So he said, IF the Lord
will take that, l will give that, ="
and so he did. Ten cents of every
n dollar was sacred to the Lord.
z After few years both partners
I died and William came to be the
sole owner of the business. He
now resolved to keep his promise to
the captain. He made an honest
soap, gave full pound, and in
structed his book keeper to open an
account with the Lord, and carry
one tenth of all his income to that
account. He was prosperous. His
business grew, his family was blest
his soap sold, and he grew rich
faster than he ever hoped. He then
decided to give the Lord two tenths,
and he prospered more than ever.
Then three tenths, then four tenths,
then five tenths. He then educated
his family, settled all his plans for
life, and told the Lord he would
give him all his income. He pros
pered more than ever
This is the true story of Mr..
Colgate, who has given millions of
dollars to the Lords cause, and left
name that will never die.

will now begin to give to the Lord

ceive, and continue to dos through
