Then the members realized that the
worst storm OF the season was in force.
1t was test of courage and endurance to

homes.
A very pleasant meeting was also held
Tuesday, March 26. After the opening
exercises one candidate was instructed in
the third and fourth degrees. 1t was de-
cided to omit the programme and take up
the topic, (which is the most profitable,
cows, or hens, with butter at % cents q
pound and eggs at 40 cents per dozen?"
The question was very ably opened by
Helen E. Rich. A general discussion fol-
lowed. The several opinions expressed
occasioned considerable amusement, and
the members were about equally divided
as to the relative merit and demerits of
cows and hens.
Z One name was presented for member

MODEL LIFE-
When you think, when you speak, when yeu
read, when you write,
When you sing, when you walk. when you
seek for delight,
To be kept from all harm when at home or
abroad,
Live ALWAYS as under the eyes of the Lord.
Whatever you think, never think what you
feel
You would blush in the presence of God to
reveal;
Whatever YOU say in a whisper or clear,
Saw nothing you would;not like Jesus to hear.
Whatever you read, though the page may
allure,
Read nothing of whichlyou are perfectly sure
Consideration at once would be seen in your
look
If God should say solemnly, "show Me that
book
Whatever you write, though with haste or
with heed,
Write nothing you would not like Jesus to
read;
Whatever you sing in the midst of your glees
Sing nothing that His listening ears would
displease.
wherever you go, never GO where you fear
Lest the great God. should say. show camest
thou here?"
Turn away from each pleasure you would
shrink from pursuing
If God should look down and say, "what are
you doing?"
