OUR OWN.
If had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day,
The word unkind
Would trouble my mind,
said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain
But we vex 'our own"
With look and tone
We may never take back again.
For though IT, the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be
That never for.me,
The pain OF the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night,
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can meier set right
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for ''our own"
The bitter tone,
Though We love "our own" the best
All! lips with the curve impatient!
All, brow, with that look of scornl
'Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn.

The Lord Jesus Christ has a pro
gramme for every life, every Endeavor
society. every church, every nation and
every world. When brought to jndg-
ment the burning questions will be:
Have we remembered Jesus Christi
Have we followed the programmed
Have we builded according to the plans

Master? In that great day God may
show us the life we might have lived

Dear Mutud[s:

Dear Mutuals:
The poems of Margaret Sangster and
also those of Ella Wheeler Wilcox have
had and are having wider influence for
good than any one preacher has attained
by the sermons he has delivered. l hear
one saying Sturgeon and another Moody;
and the names of others noted for their
power, like Beecher, Talmage or Wesley
are echoed from various quarters, but the
poems of Margaret Sangster are printed
and reprinted in magazines, in news
papers, in periodicals for "shut- ins'', in
local papers that have a limited circula-
ton, and they are read in many home
where the names of these talented divines
are unknown.
Why are such poems kept in circula-
tion? Because they touch the better side
of our natures, because they can be APP
piled to everyday living; because they
are simple in language but rich in truth.
Take the following from the above selec-
ton:
awe have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for thessometime guest
And that is right. Courtesy to stran-
gers costs us but little, and may not only
win US friend, but brighten the path
way of the stranger and surely we do
not want to meet he sometime guest
with either a :frown or a blank counte-
nance.
The point brought out in the stanza is
this, that we could and should use the
''careful thought" and give the ''smiles"
to 'our OWN. mot only are the little
kindnesses and attentions which are
shown to US by:members of our own fami-
lies to be recognized and responded to
courteously, but .as. we would excuse or
overlook an accident or a mistake which
some visitor might be unfortunate enough
to cause, it would goften be good and
wise thing to do with tour own.
If q guest should overturn a glass of
water it wouldlbeian accident, and napkins
or towels would be brought quickly and
mo harm done" would conclude the act;
but one of the children upsets his glass,
'ssuch carelessness", and he thanks his
stars il he isn't sent away from the table
even though the illusions to his accident
are SO frequently during the meal that he
doesn't enjoy hissdinner.
Enlarge this idea.as much as you like
the courtesies between husband and wife,
between mutual friends and those due to
the elderly friends-you will find broad
field for the application of this poem and
it will bring large. harvest of blessings
to all who heed itsilessons. Thanks, E. P.
W., for the text.

1 am glad the pin has developed. Please
find enclosed sl.25 for a gold one think the
mutuals deserve the best. Ny many cares
prevent me from writing often for the column
though usually find time to read it, some
times at night by the bedside of my mother,
who is eighty years old, and helpless from
paralysis; it seems too hard for life to end
like this.
am glad that you have called on the young
housekeepers to write for the column; they
can tell of their success or failure, and
when perplexed, as they sometimes will be,
some of the older housekeepers can help
them.
There are many good recipes sent by the
MS; one use often is the Indian pudding
with tapicoca. 1t is very nice eaten with
whipped cream. When am puzzled what to
get for dessert, as country people often are,
sometimes make pop-oyers, fill with cream as
you would cream puffs or eat with sauce for
pudding.
win send my recipe as it may be new to
some one. Love to Aunt Madge and the sis
tiers from E.
