A Brinkley South Main Street house wife gave me clipping a fev days ago She said: Il want you to print this. "She said: Housekeepers, instead of preparing big meals on the Sabbath, should go 10 church and give the day up to religious observance.
 Some women work harder on Sun day than they do any other day" she said This is wrong No family should require #. The Sabbath need rot be a day of starvation as well as specification, but if should. be one of rest, given to spiritual, not bodily comforts.
 Mrs. ParseIis advocastd the sub stitution of plain meals. which may be prepared on Saturday and plenty of fruit.

 He is busy Brinkley man. A friend stopped him to tell him a high compliment of his work and character which he had heard some other friend speak. There was a sudden flash of light that flashed into the strong willed face.
 Thank you was the earnest reply "lm glad you told me that. It is something 10 live up to.
 There was no vain acceptance of the commendation as fully merited; it was only like bugle call to higher service. That is what such words must always prove to any true and earnest spirit.
 They flash sharp contrast between the self that appears to others, and what the soul knows of its own failures and shortcomings, and humble, as no blame could do: but also they inspire to fresh courage and effort; they are something to live up to. = "A true friend will tell one his faults, is saying we often hear but true friend if he is wise in the knowledge of human nature, will tell us our virtues. The fact is in this busy world of ours. with its keen struggles and its competition. we are pretty apt to be told our faults by those who are not friends. and to be brought face to face with one s mistake and failures so often that we sometimes lose hope and cour- ape.
