WoMAN,s COURT.

Miss Martha Van Rensselaer,, direc-
tor Of the reading course for farmers
wives conducted by the New York
state Department of Agriculture, is
said to be responsible for the move
ment to establish woman's court.
While studying conditions in New
York city Miss Van Rensselaer, was
very much impressed by a scene
which she witnessed IN a downtown
court. Speaking of it afterward to
other women she said that one of the
women on trial lied on being ques-
toned by the Judge.
You couldn't have blamed her for
lying" declared Miss Van Rensselaer,
''No woman. it makes no difference
how degraded, would or could have
answered otherwise to a man. Had
there been woman on the bench
am convinced she would have told
the truth. She was young, almost
girl, and with the right woman on the
bench to question and advise her
there would have been chance to
stop her on her downward road

Healing of the Mind.

know man who, though busily
and extensively engaged in Christian
service, was for long defeated in his
thought life. The evil word and act
were checked, but he could not pre-
vent his thoughts from ranging over
forbidden fields, and consequently he
was brought into inward bondage and
despair. One night, at the close of a
service, as the congregation sang the
well known words:
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing Of the mind,
Yea, all l need in Thee to find,
o Lamb of God, / come"
the thought broke upon him, and he
saw that what he needed most of all
was such healing of the mind" as
that unto which Christ pledges Him
self. Falling upon his knees he cried
as he had never done before:
20 Lamb of God, come! "
And his testimony is that Christ
brought him that night into an atti-
tude of new surrender and enabled
him to exercise new faith, claiming
this promise which has constantly
been fulfilled to him: ''The peace of
God shall guard your heart and your
thoughts, y. Stuart Holden.

PRIMITIVE RULeARlANs.
They Are the Humblest Peasants In
All The World.

Bulgaria is the land of the peasant.
He thrives there under conditions that
would not be tolerated in many Euro
pean countries and yet he is satisfied
with his lot, no matter how humble it
may be. The chief reason for this
contentment lies in the fact that there
are few rich men among the landown-
ing class with whom the peasant
might contrast his lowIy station in
life. The large landowner is practi-
cally unknown in Bulgaria and the
few who are moderately wealthy are
nearly all of foreign birth or descent.
The statement was recently made by
a banker in Sofia that he did not be-

raj districts who possess an annual
net income of $4,000.
It would be difficult to find Bull

vast majority of the total population

THE PULPIT.
IN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
"A. n. LEWIS, 0. D.
Theme: The sacredness of Fatherhood

God alone has absolute power to
create. He might have retained this
power forever. He chose rather to
confer infinite honor and infinite re-
sponsibility on man by delegating to
him the power to recreate. This pow
er to perpetuate the race, as a sub
creator, and to be a direct factor in
determining its character and destiny,
is divine. It's exercise in fatherhood
is among the most sacred functions of
existence. In this life alone it's re-
suits for good or evil are beyond COM
putation. Considered by the stand
ard of an endless life, they are over
whelming. Were there not unknown
experience of parenthood, no man un-
derstanding what 1t means could ven
ture to assume fatherhood.
Much the larger share of human
suffering comes through impaired
physical health. Weakness and dis
ease make men burden on society,
lead to poverty, drunkenness, social
impurity, larceny and kindred evils.
No man is free from guilt who trans
mits a single element of physical
weakness or disease which he can
avoid. ,~esae b
The habitual use of stimulants and
narcotics destroys nerve force and
mental balance. Their effects are Of
ten more prominent in the second and
the third generations than in those
who first indulge. Purity in thought
and act is an imperative demand
which the sacredness of actual or pos
sible fatherhood places on all men.
In assuming fatherhood you are
acting for God; exercising the holiest
function ever given you. If a man
goes out as the agent of a business
firm, or the representative Of a great
nation, he must be loyal to the power
which commissions him, and in whose
name he acts. How much more when
man assumes fatherhood, in behalf
Of the Infinite and Eternal Father!
He who does not love God cannot
transmit the tendency to love Him.
Such man must rather transmit the
tendency to hate and disobey God, for
which he, not his child, is RESPONSE
BILE. This stupendous fact lies at the
core of all true religion.
The husband has to bear little Of
the passive service and continuous
burdens which attend parenthood.
The wife has an absolute right to all
the help which pure love, exhaustless
patience and tenderest sympathy can
afford. This is due to the child also,
who must suffer loss in proportion as
these are withheld from the mother.
If any husband denies these, or worse
still, gives, in place Of them, indiffer-
ence, neglect, harshness or abuse, he
becomes a shame to the name of
fatherhood, disgrace to his sex, an
enemy to his own child, and a sinner
before God.

MATINEE EXPLAINED.

AS. everybody knows, the principal
genealogical meaning of the French
word matinee" is morning time, or
better, forenoon; how it came> to be
applied to afternoon performances is
not generally knownn Some twenty
five years ago. concerts of classical
music became very popular in Paris
and were given at IL o'clock in the
morning, and therefore called mat
inees musicales,'' but the fashionable
ladies soon found this hour too early
and too exacting, following so close
ly upon the balls, soirees and theatric-
ais of the previous night The hour
was changed to noon; then to ]
O'Clock. The success of these con
certs prompted the theatre directors to
try day performances also. From
Paris the custom passed to London,
then to America, the name matinee
being retained San Francisco Call.
