Without babies, fathers and
mothers would be out of a Job
and Roosevelt would be shorn
of one Of his pet hobbies.
No home can be happy
where there is unknown the
patter of little feet, the artless
prattle Of baby tongues and
and childhood's happy laugh
that springs from innocent
and care-free hearts.
As some author has said,
children are the link between
heaven and man, and no home
can be forever happy without
these little cherubs those
whose lips lisp the cute little
things we like to tell the neigh
bors.
Babies are delicate little
tendrils and easily bruised.
Deal with them gently and
carefully,
Babies are the sunshine Of
life and no clouss should be
allowed to come in and shut
off the light.
Childhood has no forebod-
ings. The simple faith o f
childhood would be worth
much to many of maturer
years.
Children are human mirrors
III which are reflected the con
ditions of the home.
Babies are told so much
nonsense that the wonder is
that they ever grow to an in
telligent citizen.
A person that is a fit asso-
ciate for his children need
have no fear of hell.
One who enjoys the COM
panionship of innocent chill
dren cannot be wholly depra-
we'd nor irretrievably lost.
The great agnostic, Inger-
soil, was like the Savoir, in
that he loved little children.
Make home h loafing
place and playground of your
children, and ten chances to
to one the little feet that have
tracked your floors with mud
will not leave their footprints
along the paths of vice and
crime; the sweet faces of your
boys that have been such a
Joy to you in their childhood
will not adorn the rogue's
gallery; the little hand that
has SO oft pressed to your lips
will not push chips across a
gamblers table, the chubby
arms of your daughters that
have SO oft entwined your
neck will not be employed to
embrace a street rowdy and
their lips will not be pressed
to those befouled with obscene
language, nor sip the wine
that leads to shame.
Babies are little human
morning glories that spring
from the soil of love, climb up
the trellis- work of affection,
entwine themselves about
the hearts of the parents and
send out the little fellers, the
little clingers, that reach from
one heart to the other, draw

Clerical Students Teetotalers.

There is much temperance activity
Ireland. 1t will do good. Drink has
been a terrible drag on the people,
says the Catholic Universe. There is
no good reason why it should be let
go on, increasing evil. It is stated
ON good authority that two-thirds of
the students at Maynooth college are
total abstainers-40O out of 600 of the
future clergymen of the Catholic
Church. 1t is claimed for one Cath
ole bishop-Bishop Hoare of Ardagn
that he has administered the total
abstinence pledge to $4,000 of the peo-
pie of his diocese. It is said to be the
universal custom of the Catholic bish-
ops of Ireland to administer the pledge
at confirmation-the pledge being
binding until the confirmee Is 81 or rs
years old according to the view of the
confirming bishop.

ireland Builds Biggest Ships.

ireland is not much considered in a
business way, and yet it had the hon
or recently of launching the largest
ship on record. This unique distinc-
ton had hitherto been held by New
castle-on-Tyne, which had broken all
previous records by building the
Mauretania," liner of 10000 tons.
Belfast launched the steamer "Olym-
pic" It's tonnage amounts to no less
than $4,000 tons. This increase of
$4,000 tons marks an increase never
previously accomplished in the history
Of ship-building. After all the abuse
that has been hurled at Ireland by
foreigners, and the selfdeprecation
with which many 1rishmen have from
time to time spoken Of their country
and all its works, it is with feeling
of pardonable satisfaction" says an
Irish paper, "that we draw attention
to this"

The Window Wishers.

The little window wishers, with their
tender eyes of blue,
Standing there before the toy shops,
don't they touch the heart of you?
Don't you almost shiver with them,
as their tattered clothes you see,
The ragged little urchins, with the
patches on each knee?
Can you see them longing, yearning
in sweet childhood's wistful way
And forget them in your planning for
merry Christmas day?
Oh, the little window wishers, baby
hearts and baby eyes,
With their trusting faith in Santa gaz-
ing there in glad surprise
At the dollles and the soldiers and the
Teddy bears, believing
That they will not be forgotten. Can
you see them without grieving?
Can you think of them on Christmas
when the merry morning starts
Disillusioned, waking up to empty
stockings-broken hearts?
Oh, the little window wishers, looking
longingly today
At the wonders in the toy shops in
sweet childhood's wistful way,
Dreaming dreams of Christmas stock,
ings filled with candies and with
toys;
Just as full of faith and fancy as your
own girls and your boys.
When you see their big eyes glisten
as these splendid things they
view,
Can you rush by and forget them
don't they touch the heart of you

Speaking of the spirit prevailing in

"The modern tendency in our
schools and colleges is materialistic.
The spirit enters our entire school
system. The result is spirit of athe-
ism in the young men and young wo.
men who pass through our educational
institutions. 1t is not intellectual
atheism, but an atheism Of life. Young
women and young men are thrown in
to contact with materialistic teach
ers. This wrong spirit is seen in our
normal schools and other educational
institutions. A visiting minister or
evangelist is permitted to read a pas
sage Of scripture or offer a prayer, but
is not permitted to present the truths
Of God before the students"
