Young married couples have to quar-
rel so as to learn not to.
A woman can love a man of the most
egregious vanity on earth, but not one
of meek humility.
You can skim the cream of the milk
and have something left that is sweet
and good, but skim your love and what
is left is bitter gall.
When a woman changes her way of
doing up her hair and her husband
doesn't notice it, she knows right away
that he doesn't love her any more
The first thing for a man to do with
the woman he marrieS is to force her
to understand that he is going to De
firm about making her have her own
way.
The more a woman can become en-
gagged without getting married. the
more she would be willing to get mar
ried without becoming engaged.
A woman never knows how much she
loves Il man until she loses him; and n
man never knows how much he doesn't
love a woman till he gets her.-New
York Press.

Speaking Briefly.

When a man becomes great his ene-
mics prove that he is also human.
The modern heroes are men who
marry clever women.
~ Life is ladder with slippery rounds.
Every man should be able to sup
port his wife-a woman lives on fiat
terry.
Life is only short story, but its
crossroads make a long novel.
Marriages are union-m made.
The greatest sacrifice we make to
science is our ignorance.
1t takes time to be brief.
When science makes a discovery es-
tablished religion says. Il told you So
Patienceais virtue-until it becomes
a vice.
Duty calls-and we listen.
That our sins are overlooked is, in
the end, our worst punishment.
There are always some substitutes
for those you have killed.
1t is strange that the ancient phil
osophers should at their early age have
arrived at such wonderful truths, and
that we, at this late day, should still
be talking the same nonsense.-Boston

brokers usually employed of late by the

was the rumor of new and comprehensive

READING the Bible.

1T is apparent that familiarity with
the English Bible as a masterpiece of
literature is rapidly decreasing among
The pupils in our schools. This is the
direct result of a conception which re-
CARDS the Bible as a theological book
merely. and thereby leads to its ex-
clusion from the schools of some states
as a subject of reading and study.
We hone and ask for such change
of public sentiment in this regard as
will permit and encourage the English
Bible, now honored by name in many
school laws and state constitutions,
to be read and studied as a literary
work of the highest and purest type,
side by side with the poetry and prose
which it has inspired and in large part
formed
The above was 4 resolution adopted.
last week. at the meeting of the Ma
tional Educational Association at
Minneapolis. But did the trainers of
the resolution get at the real root of
the reason why the Bible is read
much less now than in the good old
times? Is it because it is regarded as
"a theological book merely" or be-
cause the old time faith in the scrip
lures has been undermined by the
higher criticism and by many as
saults. covert and open upon its in
tegrity? Undoubtedly the Bible should

ceives. Regarded merely as literature 1t
is deserving of more study in homes
and schools and colleges, for there IS
nothing in any language to excel it or
equal it. But to make the Bible
really successful textbook in literature
it must be made a more common
ly used textbook in religion and moral
ity. If it is now crowded out of its Old
place in literature it is because it was
first crowded out Of its old place IN the

editor of one of the largest metropoli-

granted that the Portland editor had n
personal acquaintance with every
