The little one brought her slate to me
she was Just learning how to write};
There were many blunders and crooked
marks,
And scarcely letter right.
patiently wrote the copy anew,
Between the straight lines twain,
And tenderly said to my little one,
Nov you try it over again"
II thought with tipge of sadness, then,
OF mistakes in my past life, wrought
By my unskillful, careless hands;
And though my life would not
Ask to live over some might wish,
With its disappointments and pain,
Yet l wish those mistakes might come to me
To try them all over again.
l think, as viewed the fine copy set
By the Masters pierced hand,
l would harder try than did before
To follow His command;
And I'd harder try to win His praise
Than the fieeting praise of men,
If the Lord would say to me; Now, my child
You.may try it over again.
The Lord is good and knoweth best,
And who,kn but it may be
He intends to bring those lessons back
In the futureiagain to me?
If learn. them patiently now,
Past loss will prove only gain,
If write correctly the copy set
When try it over again.

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
broughton and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.
1t is to these faithful women that
