With men it is quite ss bad ~ with
women; neither get much out Of life
because they do not divide their JOY
or their sorrows.
Nothing in Holy Writ is more clear.
ly defined than that it was the inten-
tion Of the Creator Of all things that
man and woman should live togoihcz
after the holy ordinance Of marriage.
Men who are engrossed with the
cares Of business need the quiet Of q
home to which they can 60 and lay
aside the worries aud vexations which
beset them.
When they have been successful
they need one to share their happiness
who will accord to them the full
measure Of credit which is their due,
and which an Indifferent world never
gives.
II they are discouraged, they need
the balm Of sympathy and encourage
ment which loving, faithful wife is
ever ready to give.
If i'll, who can minister to them as
tenderly or as faithfully as one to whom
they are oil in all. It is written:
.'Wboso 6ndeth wife findeth q good
thing and obtaipeth favor Of the
Lord. Prov. xvii, 22. And again,
"Houses and riches are che inheri-
tance Of fathers and prudent obtain.
eth favor Of the Lord" Prov. xviii.
I have in mind noble men who just
missed filing the place in the world
to which their noble natures entitled
them, because they never married.
Some trivial or serious thing had
prevented them from communicating
sheir plans, OF alliance with che woman
Of sheis ohoi60, and they drifted into
baoheloFhood and it's consequences.
They grew to be morose aud unhappy
and ended their days in desolation Of
heart and deep regrets.
An Unsuitable longing for compan-
ionship Of one who is really his mate
is sure to seize one when one is ad.
monished by age or disease that life's
"fitful fever" is soon to be over.
It is little wonder that statistics
prove that bachelors are short-lived
when one considers that they have no
one to care for them in sickness or in
health. Attentions which are bought
with price are not the kind which
are prompted. by affection or which
satisfy the soul and heal our ills, il
they can be healed.
No matter how successful woman
may be alone, there is nothing that
can compare to the glory nf wife and
. mother.
The report Of the physicians Of New
York that the greater number Of their
pneumonis patients this winter have
been among bachelor men and women
is not at all astonishing.
By far the majority are doubtless
those who have rooms aud take their
meals anywhere, OF if they board
where they room they have little sym
thy from heir associates.
Consequently, il illness overtakes
them, they are alone, and only by
chance attract the attention Of sorne
one who will give the care 80 necessary
in such cases. ,tg
We honor women who have the
courage take mp arms, againsh the
ills Of life % which eli are subject; at
the same tihae, however, one should
feel disinclined TO encourage the pre-.
valent disposition on che part Of young
women in this country to be indepen-
dent oftshes stronger eek.
On the contrary, they should be en-
treated 70 follow the teaohiDgs Of st.
Paul, who said: .'I will. therefore,
that the younger women marry, hear
children, guide the home, give non )

In those i.5-s Of crowded avenues in
every profession and vocation, it is
more and more difficult for men TO
succeed, and still harder sor; ;womento
