come back amused her greatly.

The members Of Bible class IN

forth in the twelfth chapter Of Romans
Among the questions asked by the
leader Of the class was, What motto
should be adopted when strangers are

The proper answer, Of course. and the
me given BY all the members Of the
class with one exception, was: Given
TO hospitality"
In this class, however, there was one
young person who held different idea:
this was the minister's daughter, who,
since she was 10 years old had been the
head Of his house and the manager Of
many a difficult meal.

JENNIE ACTON
TO STOP ELOPEMENTS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Writing on
1.-The Ease With Which We Marry"
in the April Ladies' Home Journal,
Edward Box favors the re-establish-
ment of the custom of publishing
the bans-making such publication
obligatory. ''This precaution which
our fOrebears had of giving thirty
days public notice of an intention of
marriage, proclaimed from the pull
pit and posted at the public hall" he
believes, ''was born of wisdom and
rested on a sound foundation. The
pity is that we ever got away from it.
[ do not say that return to this old
custom of the proclamation of mar
riage would be the panacea for all
marital evils. But it absolutely
would do away with all the run
away marriages, sentimental elope-
ments and the life cOmpacts born of
a single moonlight night, from which
results so much unhappiness to
girls, ana winch nave brought, and
will continue to bring, so much hu-
initiation and disgrace upon parents
and families. It is a sufficient fact
that in those European countries
where intention of marriage must be
publicity proclaimed a fortnight or
a month previous to the actual cere-
mony, and where the additional pre-
caution of a civil marriage is added
to the religious ceremony, divorce is
hardly known.
1.-THE vast majority of unhappy
marriages are born of sudden impul-
SEES. Girls rush headlong into a
riages, which, if they had stopped for

THE GIRL ON THE FARM.

The agricultural papers TEEN with
articles on "HOW to keep the boys
on the farm" but seldom a word
about the girls. Now we could not
think Of doing without the boys.
Bless the dear, noisy boys! Their
CHEEKY, airy whistle is the best an
tidOte for the blues one can take.
The girls, precious jewels, are just
as essential to farm life as the boys,
and farm life is just as necessary to
their full and evenly balanced de-
v~elOpment, minds and bodies, as
they to farm life, and when they are
not happy and cOntented in their
farm home, something is radically
wrong somewhere. If the father is
continually growing about the mud
or dust, the heat or cold, the tariff,
low prices, poor crops, the mother
about farm drudgery, deprivation,
lack Of c~Ongenial society, need we
wonder that children growing I'D in
'NNH "h "ChAOSphCIS Will lOlS .
"wider fields, to know and be known
to meet people of note, to listen to
the grand flow of elOquence from the
pulpit or rOstrUm," are anxious to
flee from evils they know to those
they know not? My heart aches for
children of such homes. The very
joys Of life 7 dashed aside, and
they peer into the dim future with
distorted vision and imagine they
see honor, success and happiness,
which, when they meet, it is only the
black despair of disappointment.
Parents, pause and consider the OBJ
legations you are under to your chill
dren. This debt can not be paid
with broad acres or many dollars.
A contented spirit, a we'll balanced
mind, a strong constitution, helpful
