AS TO sINCERE's QUERY

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Answering
Sincere's query as to whether or not
a mother should carry her baby to
church, I must say that among my
earliest recollections was the coun-
try church and u Sunday School
near my childhood home, and how
much we little folks enjoyed the
services! Women, as d class, must
needs sacrifice much in their life for
the pleasure and benefit of other NOR
tails, but why ask her to stay away
from Divine service because of her
baby, when necessity compels her to
care for it? Did not Jesus bless the
children? And as early impressions
r the most lasting in this life, why
not carry the child to church? Some
sore-headed brethren, and, perhaps,
some sensitive sisters, will be annoy
ed because of the child's presence,
but what harm will come of it if
they are? There are chronic grum-
blers in every community who are
always looking for something to sniff
at, but 1 plead for the mothers share
in the church service. No minister
who complains because a baby hap
pens TO be in church has any right to
proclaim himself Gods messenger.
Babies have souls but dogs have not.
Now, Idonot think any person has a
right to take his dog to church, for
the dog can care for himself while

ing known to have made it; not the
accomplishment of any great aim,
but the being seer to have accom-

qualification of our thirst for ap-

first infirmity of weak ones, and, on
the whole, the strongest impuIsive

emplifcation in the life of Jesus

CHEERFULNEss VERSUS GAYETY.

1t is not often that young people
stop to think of the difference be-
tween the meaning of cheerfulness
and gayety. Gayety seems more of
a personal thing-the merriment of
iollitywhich comesto us from our sur
roundings and amusements. Cheer
fulness is a more noble and lovable
quality. The dictionary has many
varying definitions of this pleasant
word, but they all express something
which not only makes oneself glad,
but helps other people. CORDIALLY
willing; genial in action hearty,
ungrudging -" Promoting good
cheer, gladdening, animating, gen
ial." These are my favorite expla
nations of our little word, and I
would dearly love to let you take it
for your motto for this month of
good cheer.
The old knights, you know, in the
days of chivalry, always chose some
word Dr. sentence which expressed
what they aimed to do, or desired to
defend, carried this upon their shields
when they went into battle, and
every day wore it emblazoned on
their banners. 1t was a very excel
lent idea in many ways, and, once
having chosen his motto, a knight
was bound to live up to it's require
ments, and his children took it for
their life-rule also. For instance, if
a man wrote on his shield: "Faith
full to the End" he was bound to
hold every trust with unfaltering
fidelity, even if it cost him his life.
Now, if we should take up tor u
device, "Cheerfulness," we should
be bound to bring sunshine and hope
wherever we went, make light of
disappointments and trials, hold back
the tears when we were hurt or
troubled, be quick to "lend a hand"
and always try to find a sunny side
ITO every cloud. And it would mean
giving up all complaints, and endur-
ing what we had to endure, not only
without IA muFmur-for that we
might do by being only brave-but
finding a way TO smile even when
things went very much against u.s.

WHAT IS SUCCESS
Pamlico Co., N. G.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE The Pro
gressive Farmer of April 10Th has
just reached me and, as usual, the
Social Chat has had my prompt at
tention. I am very glad that Water
Lily has returned. She is one of
our best writer's and ought to visit
the Circle much oftener than she
does. AS for Sincere's query, I sup
pose I ought to leave that for the
ladies. 1 will, however, ask these
questions: IF the baby is too young
to understand what is said, is it in
any way benefited by attending
church? If it ATTRACTS attention
from the preachers words, does it
thereby benefit any one? Still if the
mother cannot go without it, let her
take it, for no one ought to be long
deprived of the elevating influence
of gospel preaching.
Walter Vrooman's answer to the
query, what is success?'' is along
the right line, and will bear several
reading. The successful man is not
lop sided, but uniform and symmet-
rical. That is to say, he has devel-
oped soul, mind and body. He has
not lost sight of his moral and intel
lectual nature in a struggle for
wealth, nor has he neglected thrift
and business enterprise in the devel-
opment of mind and moral nature.
One of the highest types of the sue
cessful man is the thrifty, intelligent,
Christian farmer. You have seen
such men-well-to-do, but not
wealthy nor a worshipper of the AL
mighty Dollar; intelligent. but not
wearing out life and forgetting
friends and the joys of life in blind
devotion to science and literature !;
upright, serving his God, but not
separating himself from the duties
of this life and living as if he were
out of the world in which God has
placed him to live, love and labor. I
think the farm offers the highest op-
pOrtunitirs for the symmetrical de.
velopment of mind, soul and body

cess. But in general, a different idea
prevails this modest, unassuming
way of iivingis thrust aside for some
thing more SNOWY and conspicuous.
AS Ruskin says, in his ''Sesame and
Lilies

vancement in life means becoming
conspicuous in life-means obtaining

oNow we'll see !" said the cynical
lady opposite. She did see, for with
out a moments hesitation that
young man was up again, lifting his
hat as he touched the Irish woman's
shoulder, saying, "Here's a seat,
madam" and when, without a word
of Acknowledgements she pumped

and just before her was a workman
with his hands full of gas fittings.
An awkward load it was, filling both
his hands. Suddenly one piece slip

that will not distinctly tend TO give
right views of life and build up
manly character. If he wishes to
read novels, let him read Walter
Scott, especially "Ivanhoe" and sold
Mortality" If he wishes to get a
view of life as it was thirty years
ago in the great metropolis of the
world, let him take Dickens. Books
like "The Hoosier Schoolmaster, y
giving an accurate portrayal of life
in the West, are healthy. We wish
we had more of them. Any book
that actually portrays life in any
part of the world as it really is, a
book that is true to mature, and writ
ten with the distinct design of max
ing men wiser or better, if written
in good English, is worth the boys
attention. To note the degeneration,
compare, for example, "Uncle Toms
Cabin" and ''When K~nighthood Was
in Flower"
The same comparison might be
made along all lines, and with
practically the same result. The
fact-is, that in later years we are alb
sorbed as individuals in money-mak-
ing, and as a nation in extending our
trade and our flag, and we are be-
coming intellectually, if not morally,
demoralized. The same remark ap-
plies TO newspapers, wen to agricul-
tural papers. The commercialism or
the money-making spirit which dom
mates the publishing business in all
lines, has tended very rapidly, not
merely to lower the moral tone, but
the literary style and the;very spirit
and substance of literature in all
lines.
1t is to be hoped, with but little
ground of hope, however, that the
beginning of the new century will
mark a reaction and lead us back to
healthier literature and a higher
plane of intellectual and moral life.

WHEN KN1GHTHoOD IS IN FLOWER.

Overcoat-was passing rapidly down
the street, when a woman stepped in

wrinkled and shabby. On her arm
was II big basket of flowers, and
she held up a bunch of violets, 81

not stop, but as he hurried on he
lifted his hat to the old woman as
cO%urteously as if she had been the
prettiest girl of his acquaintance
Unmindful of the jostling throng of

happy smile lowering arout her
mouth. Perhaps that unexpected
bit of courtesy gladdened her old
heart more than Il dozen purchases
would have done.

place was occupied when a pretty
girl entered the car, and instantly a
young man sprang up and offered

Then somebody got out, and the
young man dropped into the vacant

WHY LINCOLN WOULDN'T TAKE A CASE

General John II. Littleield, who
studied law with Abraham Lincoln,
writes his recollections of his great
mentor in the New York Success"
He tells this attractive bit of anec-
dote -
All clients knew that, with "Old
Abe as their lawyer, they would
win their case-if it was fair if not,
that it was a waste of time to take
it to him. After listening some time
one day to d. would-be clients state
ment, with his eyes on the ceiling,
he swung suddenly round in his chair
and exclaimed -
"Well, you have a pretty good
case in technical law, but a pretty
bad n in equity and justice. You
will have to get some other fellow to
win this case for you. I couldn't
do it. All the time while standing
talking to that jury, I'd be thinking,
Lincoln, you're a liar and I believe
I should forget myself and say it
out loud"

ITFD BY AUNT JENNIE, RALEIGH, n.
AUNT n LETTER.

What a dreary day this must be to
those who do not know how to read
and enjoy a good book! When the
weather is rainy and cold, one is com
pelIed to stay within doors, and an
instructive book helps you to feel
that the hours are not entirely a
blank.
g the statement in the morning
paper that many cotton seeds that
were planted some time since have
rotted in the ground. Well, there is
no other alternative but to plant
again. How very many timesin this
life do we grieve over blighted hopes
and frustrated ambition, but hopes
bright star continues to shine, and
by it's light we ever see new fields of
promise. Cotton is, fortunately, not
our only money crop. There are
other things which pay as we'll, if in
diligently handled. Our State af-
fords unbounded opportunities for
obtaining wealth, and there is no
reason for any one starving within
her borders. Why, only a few days
since a friend from Connecticut as
serted that there are enough edible
mushrooms growing wild all over
North Carolina to feed any who
would trouble to-look for them.
Now, we never thought Of subsisting
on mushrooms, but this item alone
gives you an insight as to the fer
tility of our soil and the diversity of
our resources. Another significant
fact is, that were all the wild grapes
that grow in the woods of our State
gathered and converted into jelly
each season it would bring US many
thousands of dollars. 1t takes these
people from other States to tell US
how rich we are and convince US
how little we appreciate the fact.
Ours is a dear old State, if our
people are behind in education. In
this line our authorities Ire now tax
ing a forward step, but, remember,
no one can teach you what you are
not willing to know. All the educa-
tional advantages will not educate
you unless you are ready to avail
yourself of them.
The free libraries will not accom-
plish the good for which they were
intended unless the people read and
remember the contents of the books
placed therein. 1 once read of a fell
low who had grown suddenly rich,
and of course, he felt that the fur
nishing of his mansion would be in
complete without an extensive Ii
brary. But as to what books to buy
he knew nothing, so he waited until
the carpet and draperies were intact,
then selected books whose bindings
harmonized with the color scheme,
regardless of their contents-a COM
paratively useless conglomeration Of
ideas from other mems brains, but
not quite so worthless as the library
of a friend of his who was tact
ful, in that he bought the "box
backs" of many noted authors, and
at his death it was found that they
were not books at all, but boxes
bound to represent books.
Just as valueless to you will the
library established in your neighbor-
hood prove, if you fail to avail your
self of it's advantages.
Two new members this week. The
letter from Cheops is interesting.
Come again, all of you.
AUNT JENNIE.
