home and Social circle? Test
it by considering how many
pounds of good nature you
have contributed to make
your home and friends more
cheerful. An ounce of sweet
ness will make you weigh
more at home than a pound
of undue harshness, or forget
fulness.
If you can have help enough
to keep your household ma
chinery in perfect running or
der without making a machine
of yourself, do SO by all
means. White floors are
lovely, shining tinwareis very
fine, spotless windows and
highly polished silver are a
delight; the mending basket,
emptied every week is much
to be desired, but there are
things of more Importance,
and if it all depends on one
pair of hands, one back, and
one set of nerves for Heavens
sake, for your own sake, for
your children's sake, don't.
Don't be afraid to do your
duty. A man who has opin
ions of his own and courage
to advocate them, will be sure
to have opposition in this
world, because he runs across
or contrary to other peoples
opinions, but just keep
straight ahead if your cause
is right and your conscience
clear. Don't bother yourself
about what people say; life is
too short for that. Some will
abuse you through envy, and
others for want of sense,
others still for want of princi-
pie and some because they
honestly differ with you; but
if you keep on openly. man
fully, intelligently, and with
proper dignity of character,
honesty of purpose and self
respect, those who honestly
differ with you will respect
you and your opinion.
Natural tact will do much,
but it cannot supply the place
of education. When a woman
has learned to make a pudding
she has learned but the small
est part of her duty. She
needs to know how to sit at
the table and dispense a hos
so cordial and enliv-I
ening that the pudding shall
be forgotten. There are a.
thousand women who can
make a pudding where there
is one who is mistress of her
servants, of her children, of
her husband, of her home, of
her position. A woman who
is all such a description i'm
plies is one who must fit her.
self for it by cherishing great |
thoughts, and a noble appre-
citation of her responsibility. |
She must be mistress of a |
store of ideas and an exhaust
less fund of general know
edge. The sphere of the
woman is to preside over the
nome as it's light and inspira-
ion. No charms SO captivat-
ng, no grace SO irresistible,
10 spirits so exuberant, no
Wit SO CHEEKY, no conversa-
ion SO fascinating. no culture
20 varied but can find in the
home a fit place for their
7aried charms.

happiness than does the pre-

The want of true culture in
this world causes more un-
happiness than does the pre-
sence of poverty. Kindness,
thoughtfulness and courtesy
are not remarkable commodi-
ties, but they are qualities in
dispedsable to symmetrical

truth see that true culture is
not exclusiveness but ap-
proachableness; not haughti-
ness but agreeableness; that
shallow pretentious of social
supremacy based on bank ac-
counts are the sign of coarse

airs are the mark of low
breeding, not high; that true

FRIENDS TALK
OF MINISTRY
Need Of Better Equipment
Mentally and Spiritually
is Pointed Out

The Philadelphia yearly meeting Of
Friends. in session yesterday, discussed
the ministry This was thought to be
the principal weakness in most meet
ings. and it was declared. in substance.
that the Quaker theory OF a free minis
try was not being worked out satis-
factorlly
In speaking on the question, George
b. Miller, of this city, one Of the most
foroeful Of the younger men in the
meeting, said:
Perhaps the time has come for the
Yearly Meeting TO definitely undertake
the task of making our ministry more
effective. OF more thoroughly equipping
ourselves in this respect both mentally
and spiritually Nothing should be
done to in any way discourage us with
our system OF a perfectly free ministry
but we ought TO strive to have n min
istry that viii meet the needs to-day
We may suppose that people are re-
naming away from our meetings be-
cause they do not have their spiritual
desires satisfied in them.
"I could hope that President Swain
would have this in mind at Swarth-
more College, so educating and inspir-
ing the students there that when they
come out they win be eager to ally
themselves with Friends and 10 join in
the activities OF the society, particular
~ I'm the propagation of the principles
and testimonies Of Quakerism."
Doctor Swain was present and In
response to the remarks Of Mr.. Miller
said he had been trying ever since he
came to Swarthmore 60 do the thing
ssggested. He thought a good degree
of success had been attained a some
