Time to Make Love.

N YOU want her to listen. my lad,
l. when she's a little bit weary,
And Just little bit sad.
Don't try when she's flushed with success,
And eager for action and strife.
When she stands with her hand on the
throttle
OF the painting engine of life.
PM wait till she's tasted of failure
AT the going down of the sun,
When she finds that uniVcrse-changing
Is not so easily done.
When she faces her own limitations.
And looks at them square in the eyes,
And finds she is only woman,
With powers of moderate size.
Alone i'm the twilight then seek her
And tell her with tenderest smile
That worrying over vexed questions
l. far from being worth while.
Such things, without doubt, are most prop
For spinsters whose charms are but few,
But what she, diyinely. was made for

Why Mothers Clubs?

The following on why Mothers
Clubs: Is an excerpt from paper read
recently before western club:
Verify Il fearful responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of the mothers of the
land. And when we consider how many
women in these days assume the respon-
Slbllity of motherhood with no especial
fitness or preparation for its duties, the
wonder is not that so many of the
youth fall. hut that SO many escape.
If we would renOyate society. one
of our first efforts must be to arouse
mothers to realizing sense of their high
calling, 10 invite in them a desire to pos
SeSS a fitness for their work. and to
educate them in every direction that will
help them to train their children wisely
and carefully. and to make and conduct
such homes IS shall serve to influence
and mold these children into noble men
and women.
For every other vocation in life there
Is required "A special preparation, and the
opportunities open for the requirement
of this needed training are manifold.
For the training of mothers for their
high office we have no colleges, no care
fully arranged curriculum: no years of
Fife set apart for special study and prep
aratioH; hence the greater need that
mothers should avail themselves of every
accessible means whereby wisdom can
be gained for the fulhlment of their sa-
cred duties. One of the most valua bic
aids is the mothers club: for while the
mother who earnestly seeks for knowl
edge cannot Tall 10 find it from many
sources. there IS much to be gained by
the interchange Of thought, the system

sci one with another upon matters of
Importance afforded by mothers clubs

Quoted
1T is our hope that through this work
mothers everywhere may be aroused to
see the dangers that threaten the youth,
to realize their own responsibilities. and
to begin an earnest study of the ways
and means by which they can intercept
temptation, stop the feet of those that
run to destruction, and build up such bu!-
warks against vice by right training and
home influences that the young ives en-
trusted to their care may be able to stem
with safety the tide of evil in the world.
''Prevention is always better than cure.
but true prevention must be brought by
correct education. If properly carried
on. we believe there is no other one thing
which will exert so great an influence in
the promotion of purity as the Mothers
