The Christian Domestic.

NOW, women OF America whom God
has called 10 be consecrated domest!cs.
1 plead with you to enter the kitchen
and the nursery and the home because
that is one OF your natural spheres
that is place where God wants you To
work. The Christian domestic should
be honored both on eartl, and In heay-
en- because she is not only able to do
her own work, but also to impress her
consecrated life indeiibly upon others.
Did she not do IT with the emperor OF
all the Russias? When the old nurse
of Emperor Alexander died did he not
as well as all his brothers, who were
grand dukes, follow that sacred body
to the family tomb? They not only
followed 1t afoot, but walked for three
long miles through a binding Russian
snowstorm. Did not humble Chris
tan nurse start forth Lord Shaftes-
bury upon his great mission of life?
When the famous English philanthro-
pist's hair had been sllvered by the raw
ages OF many winters he testified In
public meeting. "All that have beel,
able to do for Christ and my fellow
men Is due to the gospel teachings of
my old Christian nurse" As the little
Jewish maiden. who was a servant
girl, sent the warrior Naaman down to
the river Jordan TO be cured OF leprosy.
has there not been in our past lives
some consecrated Christian domestic
who was able to help send us to the
waters of life to be cured of our Iep.
rosy Of sin? oh. my sister, never I'M
derestimate the opportunities OF use-
fulness OF the honorable position of n
noble Christian girl serving Christ as
domestic in some humble home.
Thus, in closing, I would speak an
earnest word to those women who are
about to consecrate their lives to this
line of service. God has opened for
You mighty possibilities for good. Fit
yourself for that work as the Lord
Jesus Christ would have you Make the
Bible the chief textbook OF yonr life. :
Pray. and increasingly pray, that the
Holy Spirit will inspire you to speak
the right word I'm the right way. Above
all, whatsoever your station In life
may be. let me urge you to enter the
service OF Jesus Christ. Not even the
subject OF your lifc's occupation ear
compare In importance with the crucial

refined employment Of a domestic life
and fiinging themselves into the whirl-
ing, brain destroying, heart crushing
-maelstrom OF temptation, where so
many have been destroyed forever
The royal domestic should be among
the most honored of all women. 1t
largely depends ON her readiness to
perform her duties and her efficiency In
her service whether or no this country
Is to be n nation OF homes. "God set
teth the solitary in families" or as you
could read 1t in the Bible margin, "God
setteth the solitary IN q house" What
does that mean? Simply this: Every
ideal unit of society should be home.
What is an ideal home? A father and
a mother for the heads of the table,
children for the nursery, servants to
help provide for the domestic wants.
While the husband is of TO business
the wife must be doing her work in the
mousse. But there Is n limit to wife's
physical and mental capacities. No av-
erage mother can perform her domestic
work without help. She cannot be
nurse and dressmaker and cook and
~--'SNA waitress and mar
keter ali in one. She must have female
assistance. She must have a servant
or servants 10 aid her, or else she must
give up housekeeping. AS a strange
and unaccountable prejudice has gone
abroad against our daughters and Sis
tiers going to work as servants in the
kitchen, one by one the homes of
America are being closed. The husbands
ana wives. with their children, are
gong to live In boarding houses and
hotels. IL you ask tho average wife
why she gives up housekeeping. she
will answer: II could no longer endure
the unrcasonableness OF servants. The
servant girl question simply racked
my nerves until was In torture. One
day i would seem TO be getting along
all right. But If the washing was n
little larger than usual. or complained
about my servant being out too late Mt

4 he charleeton Mail Is engaged in
III erroneous attempt to get the senti-
mf5t 81 the people by obtaining written
int5rvfsrs and expressions from the
members of the legislature. There are
but few Of these Law makers who have
given enough attention T.. the subject
since the legislature adjourned to study
the question further themselves or 10 as
certain whether or NOT there is ground
for their changing their views ON the
subject If the truth were known, it
would be fact that not half Of them,
Sc that many, have read the commits
sion's report since the Adjournment of
the legislature, and It is safe to say
that mot one-tenth of the voters Of the:
state have ever seen the report Stir
there ar some legislators who have the
aaidacity to say, even for, publication
that majority of their constituency IA
vor the commissions report. It IL doubt.
fnl, II men who make that declaration
in the face Of the facts to the contrary,
know exactly their own minds ON the
subject, but not 50 very doubtful that
ivy Qo HUI AuOW SAtG ketAA RuA HsSAS eAAt0
meaning of the report. If the Mail wants
20 get the voice of the people on the
subject, it should arrange to spread the
report before them, and after they have
read and studied It, get their own views
andenot those which are either second
handed or not the views Of the voters
at all. The fact is that provision should.
have been made by the legislature to
circulate the report among the people,
81 it is to be enacted into law, or II the
legislature wants to act in accordance
with the voice Of the people ON the sub
ject. There is not legislator in the
state who can ascertain the true senti.
ment of his constituents ON the subject
without their having read the report, and
Il is safe to say but few have read 1t.
Why then should any legislator or any
paper assume to say that his constit,
nency favors or does not favor the re-
port Such declaration is absurd. Tho
effort OF the Mail may give the paper
notoriety, but will not result in any
more knowledge on the subject than ex.
listed before the effort was begun.

The Hon. Jasper s. Kyle, who is sup
posed to represent Harrison county IN the
legislature, writes the ChaIlestou Mail:
The Telegram would in all probability
oppose an extra session OF the legislature.
At any rate, would not heartily endorse
r The day of the prophets long since
passed, but the gentleman in question has
evidently overlooked that fact. Sc
xionsly, however, what right has this
man to commit, or attempt to commit,
this or any other newspaper to policy,
aimee he in NO way dictates or controls
the paper and its policies. The audacity
used in this instance does not commend
him even to those who have been his
best friends. What his object is, we fail
e understand, unless II is 30 strike down
the hand that lifted him into Office and
bestowed honor and trust upon him.
fpily informed that it is not his province
to outline the policy of this paper, and
he win do well to know what he is talk
ing about before he thus INDUCES him
SELF again.

when she lay ready for the last narrow
house of earth, she should be covered
with flowers, and that the upturned
earth OF the grave should be hidden
under the. same beautiful things.
So God has taken her, the Savior Who
