to let it be known that a great singer or
actress is a devoted wife and good
mother
The change is significant.
And good in its effects.
1t is good for the actress even to play
at wifehood and motber.ng. And it gives
a healthier tone to the Stage.
Moreover, the right ideals are presented
and the stage thus reflects the real Amer
lean life and homes.

Disturbance

"Why should this happen to me? Why
should be selected for this trying or
deal. this narrowing experience
That has been the cry of sorrow
stricken souls always and everywhere.
Why?
What is the meaning of disturbance in
human life? Has 1t some ministry? Sure
ly. The universe is so built and man is
so built that only through disturbance
can progress come or peace.
To illustrate:
In the springtime the plowshare tears
up the earth. AS the pillow goes ripping
through the soil and sthe harrow is used
to rake and maltreat it one might fancy
the soil to say: why this disturbance?
Why select me for this mistreatment?
The answer of the protest is the harvest
Of the autumn.
And again: How did you get the house
in which you live? Some man went out to
the woods and hewed down the tree. And
the saw went through the wood, and the
plane went over it. And the forest might
have complained, saying: why this dis
turbance? Why select me to suffer-"
The answer to the protest is the roof
tree over your head.
And again: How can you rear the
stately column save as the dynamite at
tacks the quarry and the granite saw
and the machine polisher go over it? As
you create this disturbance the quarry
might cry out, "Why me?'
And the answer to the cry is the fine
granite shaft.
Even SO in human life.
Were there no disturbance. no pain, no
sorrow. no bereavement, there would be
neither progress nor betterment-and men
would die Of the monotony of living.
I knew a rich woman who lost her only
child. She cried out against God. But
when he anguish was over she began to
plan a memorial to her boy She built
home for crippled children.
/ knew a man who lost his fortune. He
was wild over his loss. But when he had
pulled himself out of the wreck he began
to plan a new. life. He profited by past
mistakes The man did not regain his
fortune. but he regained his life. And his
new life was cleaner and happier than
the other. IS
