4 syprodue. Of the so.r War.

I An interesting testimony to the value
Of the Endeavor movement is given In
the Sunday at home by the founder.
DR.. F.. E. Clark, describing work
among Boer prisoners during the late
war. In st. Helena alone there were
nineteen societies. with membership
Of nearly 1000. In Ceylon ten socie-
ties were formed, with about 500 mem
bers, while six island societies in the
BermuGas had 500. Intense missionary
enthusiasm was evoked. resulting in
175 yorng men giving themselves to
missionary work. On their return to
South Africa a missionary institute
was promptly provided, for the mis-
sionary spirit had come to pervade the
whole Dutch church as well as the
prison camps. This byproduct Of the
Boer war will prove its noblest legacy.

Dear Nutuais.


While the spirit is on / want to say just one
word. or may be two words, in regard TO the
question about children. brought up in the
issue of this weeks paper. How glad / was
TO see this topic under discussion, for it is
one that touches me deeply.
In my waking moments of last. night, and,
at daylight this morning. it came to me like
this: l am glad to see that question brought
up. Now my mornings work is not all done
by any means, but have my breakfast out Of
the way, dishes washed and sink cleaned up,
and my John has gone to work for the day,
and I need not worry about my dinner-for he
has his with him-and have q long day be-
fore me yet, as it is only : a. m. now.
No, Aunt Madge, do not think you have
oyerdrawn it at all. / believe q child should
be taught to ask for thing properly, but it
is often the case that there are two many
teachers in family. If child says please
may have this or that, should it not be ex-
planned TO the child why she should not have
it il it is something it ought not to have. Are
we not too busy, or impatient, it may be, to
explain at the proper timer
How hard it is to dete. rhine these things.

Erne slime, your smoking child brought up
to my mind something that was told me many
years ago. 1t was a veteran school teacher
who gave me the story-saying he boarded in
family Of eight once, and every one Of them
smoked pipe-six children, and the young
est not large enough to hold his pipe alone.
Some one would fill 1t for him, light it, and
he would then 90 to the table and rest the
bowl and take the long stem Of T. d. in his
mouth and smoke away with the rest of them.
AT the time felt thoroughly disguised, and
in later years have thought sadly over it,
and wondered would it have made any differ
ence If the father and mother had not been
smokers.

things. His wife is a lovely woman in all
that pertains to make women lovely. This
man said to me one time, would not want
large family. but would want some children.
for childless old age is something that
makes me shudder. have been into houses
where there are two old people and NO young
faces, and don't want my home like that.
That man is married now, and going down
the afternoon side of life. and no children.
One was born to them, but died young-a
bright, promising boy-and there is none to
fill the vacancy.
