TROUBLE is WITH THOUGHT.
Too Many Messages, Written and
Spoken, That Do Not Convey
Real Meaning.

Probably this may not appear at
first sight serious question, but Il
is serious, it is seriously asked and
it is well worth a serious answer
Once upon time young preacher
went to an old preacher and told him
he found difficulty in making his con
gregation understand exactly what he
wished to convey.
What is the trouble?" asked the
elder man.
Well" said the young man. Il
know what l mean to say--I under
stand exactly what | mean-but.
somehow, l don't seem to be able to
make my meaning clear to others"
My boy" said the old man, don't
be offended at what l say to you, but
a man thinks as he speaks and speaks
as he thinks when he is trying to con
vey an idea. The fact that your con
gregation doesn't grasp your sermon
shows that your thinking is what
might be called sloppy"
And he was absolutely right. How
many writers and speakers give you q
clear-cut, precise impression of their
idea? How many times have you
heard man say: We'll, perhaps that
doesn't exactly express it, but-er-r,
oh, you know what I mean?" Such
people are frequently impatient with
those who do not understand them,
yet their impatience has no founda-
ton of reason The fault is their own
Their written or spoken words do not
convey clear meaning because the
thought that inspires the words is not
clear.

One of the most important things
that man owes 20 his family is
cheerfulness. He should cast all of
his trouble away when he comes 10
his home, He is a selfish being, who,
having trouble in his trade or calling
or profession, always brings his
trouble home for the purpose Of
making everyone else miserable.
There is no bravery or manliness in
that kind OF a thing.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1909-10-29

Open your blinds by day and light
bright fires by night illuminate
your rooms. Hang pictures upon
your walls. Put books and news
papers upon your tables. Have mu-
sic and entertaining games. Danish
demons of apathy and dullnesS and
bring in mirth and cheer. Invent
occupations for your sons, Stimulate
their ambitions in worthy directions
While you make home their delight,
fill them with higher purposes than
mere pleasure. Whether they shall
pass boyhood and enter upon man
hood with refined tastes and NOBLE
ambitions depends on you. With
exertion and right means a mother
may have more influence over desti-
ny of her boys than any other infu-

Marriage is not necessarily a bless
ing. 1t may be the bitter4st curse.
1t may sting like an adder and bite
like serpent. It's bower is as often
made of thorns as of roses. 1t blasts
os many sunny expectations as it
realizes. Every improper marriage is
a living misery, an undying death.
An illy-mated human pair is the
most woeful picture Of human
wretchedness that is presented in
the book of lie: and yet such pictures
are plenty. But proper marriage,
true interior soul-linked union
is living picture Of blessedness, un-
rivaled in beauty. A true marriage
is the soul S Eden. 1t is the visiting
place of angels, 1t is not given to
words to express the refinement of
pleasure, the delicacy OF joy and the
Astounding fulness of satisfaction
that those feel whom God hath join
ed in high marriage of spirit. Such
union is the highest school of vir-
tue, the souls convent, where the
the vestal fires Of purity are kept
continually burning. May only such
happy unions attended the young
men and maidens of our vicinity
who may even now be planning their
wedding garments.

Every woman can and should keep
her ladyhood with her always-wher-
ever she is, whatever she does, it
matters not. Some women seem to
do the most mental house service
gracefully. They most surely are
ladies in every sense OF that blessed
word. She who dignifes herself
dignfes her work and vice versa.
In the kitchen, as in the parlor, her
manner should be the same. A true
lady is as much lady washing her
dinner dishes, preparing the vege
tables for dinner, cleaning lamps and
scrubbing floors, as when she is
bending over her embroidery frame
or easel in the PLEASANT sittiug room.
If she is so fortunate as 70 possess
a servant. she will use refined lam
guage aud as gentle voice in speak
ing to her as she uses in her recep-
ton room entertaining the most
cultured among her friends.
