PRINCE HENRY, brother of the
Kaiser of the German Empire, ar
rived last Sunday on his visit to
America, and the dispatches say
that Washington City went wild
over the Princes coming to the
Capitol. In this connection Rev.

Second Christian Church at st.

spoke of the coronation of King
Edward and the visit of Prince
Henry to the United States, first
quoting the scriptural words;
"Render therefore unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars. = y"
He believes that it is therefore
mans duty to entertain high re-

Ornamental Best Rooms" and Common
place Living Rooms"
In old-fashioned houses one room
was usually set apart as far too good
for everyday occupancy. The shades
were drawn so that the sun should not
fade the carpet, and the doors were
hard to open because they had stood
closed for so long. The ornaments on
the mantel stood in a stiff line like SOL
diers on parade. The books on the
eenter-table were seldom opened. The
atmosphere was musty. II on soma
especial occasion-generally funeral
the unused front door was unlocked
and the best room" was thrown open,
the children OF the household crept in
on tptoe, and spoke in hushed voices
1t was a relief to most OF them to

adornment. But when it is furnished
to our liking, we do not lower the

much like that closed best room" Of
by-gone days. There we keep our
ideals. our affections, our sympathy,
our good manners, and for the most
part, we have the doors closed and the
shades down. We are evidently OF the
opinion that such things are not for
every day. 1t is only on special occa-
sions that we make use of them.
When an overwhelming trouble over
takes a friend, we sometimes show a
sympathy never brought forw in the
commonplace vexations OF daily life.
Bereavement in a home often throws

OF tenderness which for the time trans
