Fault-finding Is good zeal IKE tne
drink habit. Once begun in a family
it is very easy to continue, and very
difficult to arrest ones self. But we
believe more families have been
wrecked by fault finding than by drink.
It is hard to decide which of these two
vices is the greatest enemy to a hap
py home.

Some one has wisely said that So
ciety's 'brow" needs to be decorated
with woman's jewels who are not too
highly educated or cultured to love
their husbands and to be faithful to
them; .nottoo brilliant to be good
mothers and wise consellors for their
children, and not too progressive to
wear their husbands names and re-
fleet credit upon themselves.
*
Our readers all doubtless have de-
sire to be happy and are ever watch
ing for the road to happiness. You
have doubtless had many roads to
happiness pointed out to you. The
young as we'll as the old have their
dark days. The days in the May time
of life are just as cloudy as in life's
November. The grandmother and
granddaughter breathe the same deep
sigh. 1t is false idea that we are
happier in childhood and youth than
we will ever be again. If we live right
the older we get the happier we are.
AS you advance in life, as you come
out into the world and have your
head and heart full of good, honest,
practical christian work, then you
know what it is to begin to be happy
The longer the fruit hangs on the tree
the ripper and more mellow it grows.
The longer you live the right kind of
a life the more useful and happy you
become. Solomon, the wise man, said
"Her ways are ways of pleasantness
and all her paths are peace" Gel
into the path referred to by Solomon
and you will find old age more Joyful
than youth.

Our readers who now have "silve1
threads among the gold'' can we'll re-
member the good old fashioned home
where upon stormy night they would
sit by the old hearthstone while the
great fire up the chimney roared
They can yet see reflected from the
ever changing golden sheer Of the
blaze the images of merry boys and
playful girls, or with their states ano
pencils and school books solving by
the fickering blaze the problems as
signed them by the old schoolmaster
What visions they can see in the fire
visions of the forgotten long ago, o.
Joys and sorrows strangely mixed
visions of romping boys and laughing
girls, visions of loves first dream, o.
eyes that caught the broken story from
lips that could not speak it; visions oI
the bridal queen crowned with corone'
of maiden bushes; visions of life''
stern battle; visions of sorrows first
shadow; visions of all ife's checked
pathway as it winds through fiowery
fields or pains hot desert sands
through the fragrant spice groves Of
10y or over sorrows's mountain crags
We would not be an cold fogy," but
our modern and beautiful homes o
today, with their darkened parlors 81
the sunlight viii not fade the carpets
where a nurse instead of mother
amuses the children, if perchanc
there be any. As one recalls to mem
i
ory these incidents and pictures ofth'
far distant past, it brings sigh for
return of the good old days befOr
wealth and fashion united in robbini

The scripture references are the same.1
This topic has respect to the TWEEN
ty-fourth anniversary of the establish

day nearest to February 2 is widely OBJ
served as "Christian Endeavor Day"
in recognition of the founding Of the
first society in Williston Congregations
al church, Portland, Me-, by Rev. Fran
sic e. Clark, on February 9. 1881.
There are now on the books of the
Boston headquarters G5.0O0 Christian
Endeavor organizations, and to each
OF these is attributed a membership of
sixty persons, so that the aggregate
membership claimed is almost four
million.
After twenty-four years it is certain
" reasonable to ask what the Christian
E~ndeavor organization has accom-
plished. Not all that ardent prophets
predicted for it has been fulfilled. Yet
vastly more has been done in and for
the church and the world than would
have been done without the help OF
Christian Endeavor. The influence OF
;fe.e idea has been undeniably potent
n beneficial in nan directions. It's
actual good deeds of human service
have been beyond numbering. The
poor, the prisoner, the sick, the lonely,
the u~nambitious, and the circumscribed

religious spirit has been given a normal
place in the lives of myriads of young

Thu loss of its property by the Uni

affected it's membership. 1t is reported
that the classes Of young persons pre-

Her First Trip,

Kansas City Journal: An old lady
from Beaver county took her first rail-
road trip last week. She noticed the
bell cord overhead, and, turning to q
boy, h said: sonny, what's that
for?"
THAT, marm," he said, with a mis-
chieyous twinkle in his eye, lis to ring
h bell when you want something to
eat"
Shortly afterward the ole lady
reached her umbrella UP to the cord
and CAV it a vigorous pull. The
whistle sounded, the brakes were pulled
on, the train began to slacken Its
speed, windows were thrown up, uues-
lions asked and confusion reigned
among the passengers. The old lady
sat calmly through 1t all, little dream
ing that she was the cause Of the ak
element. Presently the conductor
cane running throE1h the train and
asked:
WHO pulled the bell?"
IT did," replied the old lady meekly
"What do you want?" asked the CON-
ductor impatiently.

"She looks like Eleanor"

She looks like Eleanor"
IhoSe rev words of Mrs. Percy had
been persistently in Reginald Mans
fields mind as Herbert Latimer had
come to him a few days later with his
g~rieval--e. They We're in his mind as
the rang the bell of the young mans
house.
Like Eleanor! Was it true? For an
instant, as he waited in the dim draw
Ing ROOM, he wished that he had not
come. Then a curtain was raised and
dropped again. A slight, girlish fig
ure in a straight, flowing dress ad-
,Vanced. Mrs. Latilner put out her
hand.
You are a good friend of my has
band, l have heard Of you often; I'm
very glad to see you" she said.
But Reginald stood for an instant of
one bereft of sense. Mrs. Percy was
right. Here was the same rare Ma
donna type OF beauty, the same low,
broad brow, the same pathetic mouth,
the same expression of the violet eyes
MS heart beat fast with the sudden
ache that he had so often hoped was
stilled.
"Are you ill?' asked Lena Latimer;
startled. He had already recovered
himself with an effort.
You will think me absurd" he said
lightly; but you look strangely like
some one I used to know"
In his agitation he forgot the OBJ
ject of his visit.
-
1t vas a warm. cloudy morning / n
August. Herbert Latimes had returned
from his outing, and, to his dismay,
learned hat his wife had gone on a
yachting excursion to the Solent with
the Wentworths, a family with whom
he and his wife We're very intimate.
But this vas not the most important
part Of the disclosure. Reginald
Mansfield was with the party.
This was rather too friendly on the
part of his old college chum.
Herbert fastened to the home Of Mrs.
Percy. and to her he related his trou-
bles.
That lady endeavored to calm him by
such words as these:
ooh, that yachting excurr' q is all
right Mrs. Wentworth is u Model Of
