COOPERATION.

AS vernal spring comes on apace
there arise thoughts of the annual or
semi annual housekeeping time, when
the good housewife subjects the mas
culine members of the family to all
sorts of temporary Inconvenience, but
in the end makes their place of habita-
ton clean, sweet and wholesome. And
this suggests the possible relations be-
tween physically clean houses and
morally clean lives.
In the minds of some philosophers
physical and moral cleanliness grow on
the same STEM and to them a scrub
bling brush is not mere scrubbing
brush, but bristles with ethical pos
slbilities and wipes out moral as well
as physical stains, While soapsuds is
not merely a combination of water
I've and grease, but a solution -replete
with morally regenerative properties.
Every housekeeper knows the spirit
ual eXaltatiOn that follows the spring
cleaning, and it is said that woman
Is never so capable of heroism as
when she is conscious that her pantry
shelves are speckless and the curtains

THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT.

The Luther league topic for April
20 is Exodus Xxx, "A; Ephesians ",
LA. The sixth commandment in this
lesson is considered with the question
Of personal purity.
AT certain school in Ireland a cler-
gyman asked the question: What is
purity?" A poor Irish convert, In
dirty. tattered rags. jumped up and
said: please, you reverence, it's to be
clean inside" Yes. that is it; to be
clean inside. And just as dirt breeds
disease and pain and death, so I'M
purity of thought brings sin and sor-
row and eternal death. Blessed are
the pure in heart" said Christ, 'for
they shall see Cod" We may not be
able to keep evil thoughts from coming
into our minds sometimes. but we can
keep them from staying there. We
must not let them rest in our minds
for one moment. Whatsoever things
are pure, Whatsoever things are lovely
think on these things
II we have carefully kept our mind
pure, it will not then be SO hard to
rule our tongue. Gods word tells us

OLD DOG TRAY,

or this song, no less than 125. 600 wera
sold year after its appearance.
The morn of life is past
And ev'ning comes at last
1t brings me a dream of once happy day
OF merry forms I've seen
Upon the village green.
Sporting with my old dog Tray.
Chorus
Old dog Trays ever faithful.
Grief cannot drive him away.
He's gentle, he is kind
I'll never, never find
A better friend than old dog Tray.
The forms I caIPd my own
Have vanished one by one;
The loved ones the dear ones have ell
passed away.
Their happy smiles have flown,
Their gentle voices gone.
I've nothing left but old dog Tray.
Chorus.
When thoughts recall the past
Ills eyes are on me cast;
know that he feels what my breaking
heart would say.
Although he cannot sneak
Ill Vainly, vainly seek
A better friend than old dog Trav

He Always Looks Happy.

1.-THE greatest evils" says Jeremy Tay-
Tor, ARE from within US; and from our
selves also We must look for our great
est good" We are generally unconscious
that we are creating an atmosphere that
affects more than any other thing our
material prospects as well as our happi-
ness. Joe Arnold felt very much sur
prised and bitterly disappointed when
Harry Jones was chosen as the foreman
of new branch of a manufacturing firm
for which they both worked At first
sight 1t certainly seemed as if an injus-
tice had been done. Joe had been with
the firm longer than Harry and his work
had given equal satisfaction. Why, then,
had he been passed over? A few words
with the employer answered the ques-
ton. II am sorry for Joe,'' he said, land
would like to have pushed him forward.
l know he IS faithful and conscientious,
and that he can always be relied upon
to do his very best; but he wears such
a long face and worries So about every
trif1e that he creates an unpleasant at
mosphere. Judging others by myself,
nothing, I believe. attracts people more
than a cheerful face and a general air
of happiness. Now, this is Harry's advan-
tage over Joe-he always looks happy,
and, as the business of the foreman
Of the new department will be largely
with the public, he must be a, man who
will make a favorable impression at the
outset"

cheerful disposition would cause flowers

that grows rapidly unless it be sternIy re-

1t Is to try always to look on the cheerful
side of things.
