A WORD FOR MOTHERs.

The mother of the home must not
forget that each child entrusted to
her care is an individual to be studied
and 1elt with accordingly. Every
woman is not so constituted that she
may become an ideal mother, and
many women cannot be even passa-
BILE one, but we must all do the best
we can. The woman who tolls stead
lily inside the home, although she may
do ''only housework," has no more
time to teach and train her children
than has the one who tolls outside IN
the workshops Of the world. A great
deal Of blame is laid at the door Of
the working mother to which she is
in no way entitled. It is through
her efforts to be al things to her
home, husband and children that
most women become nervous wrecks
before they reach middle age, and
physical invalids before even that
time. Most of the rubbish about the
duties women owe to their homes and
their children is written oy the pro
verbal bachelors wives" The work
ing mother Of lot Ct little helpless
children does not otter have time to
air her theories. She is kept too busy
applying the lessons Of the hour
Yet it would be well if, on reading
these miscellaneous criticisms and ad-
monitors, the wife and mother
should seek to apply them 20 her own
case, but she should not feel discour
aged j? she is convinced that she is
doing 1ae best ste can under hex own
circumstances. No one can do better
than her best, and our dear Lord re-
ouireS OF one only to earn the praise
OF having done what she could. "

OUR LESSONS.

I wish you could all realize that
this life is but school, says writer
in the Conmoner. in which it is in
tended that we shall learn the lessons
given US. Problem after problem pre-
gents itself, and if We learn each thor
oughly before the next is presented,
each will became easier Of solution be-
cause Of the strength the exercise Of
our faculties bsgets. II We turn away
from any one OF them, the next will
seem harder, and we may not be able
to solve it at all until the great school
master, seeing our detection, turns US
back to the slighteo lessen, insisting
that it be learned, before another can
be understood. Once lesson IS thor
oughly learned, we may push it aside
with no expectation Of its ever being
set for US again. The rules it contains
may have to be applied TO some ether
problem, but the rule will be ours; we
cannot forget it, though we may dis
regard it. Every sorrow, every pain,
every afl;ctiol, every petty annoy.
ance, is necessary for our growth and
development; every discipline will add
to our strength if We so determine it,
and every lesson must be learned,
whether with smiles or tears. EAch
one receives just tee quantity and
quality needed for his or her growth.
1t is well to feel when some SORROW
overtakes US: that it is but the discip-
line needed fer some development,
and to accept the lesson as something
intended for our good. Pain and sor-
row and Encouragement should teach
Us only on increased love and kindness
and charity; should bring US nearer
the consciousness Of the universal
brotherhood which is but another
name for the kingdom Of heaven.
