seen them and so have you.
Some of us, especially the strictly
orthodox Christians, are likely to meet
| with great surprises in the world to
come. Each soul like each railroad
engine must follow it's own headlight.
There are many tracks, but the Great
Station awaits us all if we follow the
headlight of our conscience and live
close to the Golden Rule.

The best trained teachers can new
er relieve the parent of the grave re-
sponSibility and GOd-given privileges
of being the spiritual guide of the
child.
We wonder how many parents real
ize that their child is a book of blank
paper in which shall be recorded the
record Of their own lives. Be careful
therefore of what you have written
there for the world will read it. All

So long Us men travel there will al
ways be a sale and demand for guide
books. We want to know the best
road to the country we have not yet
seen and all the particulars pertain
ing to it. The Bible is a safe guide
book that tells of an unseen country
and how best to reach it. There
would be more business integrity and
truer success if our young men would
carry in their pockets and study the
book of Proverbs. He becometh
poor that dealeth with a slack hand,
but the hand of the diligent maketh
rich" "A false balance is abOmina-
tion to the Lord, but a just weight is
his delight"
The proper education of our girls is
one of the important questions of the
present century. 1t is something more
than a social problem and is deServ-
ing of our best thoughts. 1t is a CIV
il and political, a moral and religious
problem. The presence of women
F.! constitutes one of the chief charms
and benefits of society. 1t is she who
far more than mar gives character to
society. Into her care have been en-
trusted the nations future statesmen,
those who soon are to be clothed with
authority and to make laws for the
greatest nation on the globe, as her
education becomes a civil and political
problem. Her gentle presence as she
bends over the cradle at the silent in
luence Of her daily life are shaping
the entire moral character Of the COM
ing generation. and thus her educa-
one is more fond of music than the
writer, but life is too short for our
daughters to spend years at the music
table and then after all their culture
be discounted by the ordinary cana
ry bird. Every girl should be given a
good practical education, a home edu-
cation, but that does not mean how
to use the dust pan and broom. 1t
means more than the daily routine of
housekeeping. The whole mind must
be expended and disciplined by the
study of Nature and her laws.
Mothers can find rest and recreation
for themselves and make lasting inn
pressions upon their children by TAX
ing them out in the twilight these
sultry summer evenings and show to
them a sky bespangled with stars. By
what inconceiyable power does that
aged star, which is sinking, fatigued
and burning in the shades of the eve
ming, reappear at the same instant
fresh and humid with the rosy dew Of
the morning? Go out beneath the
arched heavens at night and say ii you
can ssThere is no God.n Pronounce
that dreadful blasphemy and each star
above you will approach the unbrok-
en- darkness of your intellect; every
voice that floats upon the night winds
will bewail your utter hopelessnesS.
