"The Ideal Minister'S Wife"

The following description is from
one of the Methodist papers OF Lon
don:
The ideal minister's wife is queen
in her home. ruling her affairs with
discretion and looking we'll to the
ways of her household. She has a
keen interest in her husbands people
and spares no pains to get to know
them. Unselfsh as regards her hus.
bands company, because Of the many
claims made upon him, she valves
what seem to be her rights and finds
her Joy in knowing he is helping 9TH
ers. She practices the happy art OF
adapting herself to circumstances,
and is able to converse easily with the
intellectual and the unlearned.
Her manners are perfectly natural
and entirely free from any tincture
of patronage. Her dress is becoming.
without dowdiness or loudness. She
is not o~versensitive to criticism. She
is discreet with her lips and thor
oughly good in heart and loves to sec.
ond her husbands efforts in all the
church work. She avoids being the
leader of any clique, but acts in such
a way that all feel they can approach
her easily and confde in her perfect.

people and feels with them and re
joices in their joys.
She knows how to entertain and how
to be entertained. She keeps abreast OF
the times in reading and delights in
self-culture. Knowingfo for what special

Steering by Mothers Light.

A very beautiful story is related Of
a boat out at sea carrying in 1t a
father and his little daughter. As
they were steering for the shore they
were overtaken by a violent storm.
which threatened to destroy them.
The coast vas dangerous. The moth
er lighted a lamp and started up the
worn stairway to the attic window.
at won't do any good, mother" the
son called after her. But the mother
went up, put the light in the window,
knelt beside it, and prayed. Out in
the storm the daughter saw a glim-
mer of gold on the waters edge.
steer for that" the father said.
Slowly, but steadily, they came
toward the light, and at last were an
chored in the little sheltered harbor
by the cottage.
"Thank Cod" cried the mother, as
she heard their glad voices and came
down the stairway with a lamp in her
hand. How did you get here?" she
said.
I'VE steered by mothers light
answered the daughter, "although we
did not know what it was out there. "
All" thought the boy, a hayward
boy, lit is time 1 was steering by my
mothers light" And ere he slept he
surrendered himself to God and
asked Him to guide him over life's
rough sea-. Months went by and dis
cas- smote him. "He can't live long,
was the verdict of the doctor; and
n stormy night he lay dying. DO
not be afraid for me-" he said, as
they wept; II shall make the harbor.

many as 10000 people turned out
midst falling snow and sleet to take
the last look at one of their greatest
benefactors, Frances Elizabeth Will
lard. They came from the North,
South, East and West to pay their
last tribute of respect. A wreath Of
flowers was sent by a young lady who
had met Miss Willard but once. She
was then on the correspondence staff
of a city paper, and had been sent to
interview Miss Willard, who was sick
at the hotel and unable to fill her
Appointments. Miss Willard was
seated in an easy chair, but when she
saw the young lady's pale and ema-
ciated face she said, "Dearie, you have
this chair, you look so tired" The
young lady said, IT never forgot
those words. She was the only per-
son that had spoken a kind word to
me since I said farewell to mother
and the dear ones at home"
Miss Willard was true to Christ,
denying herself every pleasure or
comfort that she might fill the posi-
ton to which He had called her.
= Her influence is giving to the youth
of this land a portion Of knowledge
that cannot fail 70 prove beneficial to
them.
Her honesty as we'll as her patriot
ism may be seen in the fact that dur
ing her visit to England, when
strained political relations existed be-
tween England and this country, she
said: II am first a Christian, then l
am a Saxon, then I am an American,
and when I get home to heaven, | ex-
pect to register from Evanston" Her
tact, push, principle, faith. courage
and perseverance may be seen in the
great organization known to-day
throughout the world as THE Won.
ans Christian Temperance Union"
An army Of heroic women who are
battling for God and home and ma
tive land.
In conclusion. let me say, life Is
to each one of US a great battle, and
we must either win or lose it. Which
shall it be? Let us take unto our.
selves the whole armor of God, fight
the good fight of faith, and endure
hardness as good soldiers Of Jesus
Christ. The Captain Of our saliva

"When my little boy was two and a half

happen to get them uncovered he would
claw his face till the blood streamed down

at once, but he gave an ointment which
was so severe that my babe would scream

England has given to the world
some of the greatest men in all

place in the front ranks William
Ewart Gladstone. He was born of
wealthy parents and with royal blood
in his veins. Instead of becoming
dissipated as many a young man in
such circumstances would have done,
or instead of depending upon his So
cial standing, he took the course that
I have already laid out in this sermon
and by so doing The being dead yet

AS a Christian he said, Christ Is
the hope of my poor wayward life"
He never missed service on Sunday
when well enough to attend.
AS a student he was graduated
with high honors from Oxford, at the
age of twenty. His library contained
twenty-four thousand volumes. He
is the author of a number Of very i'm
portant works; several Of them are
on the Bible.
He was one of the greatest orators
and statesmen of his time. To be
familiar with his life is to know Eng
lands history for a period Of sixty
years.

These results are obtained because
the American people have less respect
for unjust courts and unjust judges than
any other people.
They know that in SO cases out of 100
the fairness and impartiality of courts,
when in the balance, are human liberty
and corporation greed, are but the veri-
est mockery and mummery.
They know that the story Paul Du
Chaillu told in his Land of the Mid
night Sun about the priest-judges of
that period, applies as well today to
courts as it did 1000 years ago. The
story is as follows:
In the Scandinavian countries-the
land of the midnight sun-they had in
olden times a system of law called gottes
gericht; that is, Gods trial. Under that
practice the priests were also the judges.
Men accused of crime were compelled
to walk with bare feet over sheets of
redhot iron. Or they were given poison.
If their feet did not burn or the poison
did not kill them, they were declared in
nocent.
Chailu has two priests discussing the
trial of certain men. One of the priests
says, well, such and such of the ac-
cused are of our party, hence of course
will be found innocent" In great horror
the other priest an older man, raised
his hands over his head and said,
Brother, how dare you talk and bias
pheme like this. Don't you know that
even in the stricest secrecy among our
selves, while we know these things, we
must never give voice to them"
The trick was that these priest-judges
could apply certain lotions to the bare
feet which protected them from burning.
Or if poison was supposed to be the
test if the men were of "the right party,
it wasn't poison, simply some colored
water-"Observer" in Labor Press.

LAWS LABOR WILL URGE.
Before Congress This Winter Are Dis
cussed by President Samuel Com
pers in a Brief Way.

When Congress considers the Wicker
sham proposals for amending the Sher
man antitrust law this winter another
insistent demand will be made by the
American Federation of Labor to incor
porate a clause clearly exempting labor
and trades unions from its operations.
The legislative committee of the Fedora
tion is busy mapping out the winters
work. and this measure, together with
the anti-injunction law, are the two
things that organized labor will fight
hardest for this winter, according to
Samuel Gompers, president of the Fed
GRAFTON.
There is no doubt that when the
Sherman law passed there was no idea
that it should include workingmen in its
operation said Mr.. Gompers. Its pas
sage was brought about by public indig-
nation against the trusts that preyed
upon the people. But the Supreme court
of the United States has declared it ap-
plies equally to organizations of work
ingmen banded together for their mutual
benefit, and we must appeal from that
decision to the people.
'As it now exists, the Sherman law
is but a replica of the ancient anti-coali-
ton of the people was distrusted and dis
banded and their liberties destroyed. If
the right of the workers to associate
themselves for their common good is de-
MED a new era of benighted life Will
yrrlr har
and we shall protest until this is changed
by Congress. While it is true that few
suits have been instituted against labor
unions since this decision was rendered,
every labor union and every member is
menaced by the present status"
Several so-called anti-injunction laws
have been introduced in Congress, but
the officials of the Federation are suspi-
cious of them. They would like to see
the bill introduced by Congressman Will
son of Pennsylvania become law.
1.-The writ of injunction has been so
perverted that it has become an instru-
ment of judicial tyranny" said President
Gompers land it is now welded solely
for those who not only possess wealth,
but arrogate power never legally intend
ed in order to hold the mass of workers
in subjection.'
Among the other laws that the labor
leaders will urge this winter are an ap-
preparation for the better enforcement
of the child-labor law in the District of
Columbia, the extension of the eight
hour law on government work, and
amendments to the employers liability
law.
