DON'T OPEN HUBBY'S LETTERS
IL 10 a Breach of P~oIlteness for the
Wife to Break the
Seal.

A wife is in doubt whether she
should open her husbands letters, and
implies her willingness to let him
open and read hers before they come
into her hands. There is no violation
of confidence involved in a preference
to read ones correspondence before it
is SO much as glanced over by the
eyes of another. A letter is a bit of
personal property, and it is a breach
of ordinary politeness to break it's
seal. Wife and husband alike have
the privilege of opening their indiyid-
ual correspondence, and of sharing
it together If they choose. AS no one
who is entirely polite opens a closed
door without the formality of a knock,
though the door belong to a member
of the family, and is the entrance to
an individual room, so no really polite
persons opens without leave the CORE
spondence Of another. 1t should be
taken for granted that married peo-
pie are mutually interested in one an
others letters, but it is not to be i'm
agined that they shall necessarily al
ways read every written scrap that
comes into the house for one or the
other. Married happiness is SO pre-
cious a thing that it should be guard
ed with the greatest care, and if eth
er partner in the home discerns on
the horizon the smallest hint of a
cloud, the duty is at once to take
measures to prevent a storm.-The
Christian Herald.

Always Take the Sunny Side.

word of his Master that there is no
need of worry, no matter how dark
things may look. In the idiom of
Palestine, take no thought means,
Don't worry" If supplies are run

vide for your necessities, but do it
hopefully and trustfully, and without
undue anxiety. Review your life. and
you will find that the things you
dreaded most, and lost most sleep
over, didn't happen, while unexpected
good things did happen, and if it has
always been that way, why not ex-
pect it to keep on being that way? So
thank God and take courage. Many

RELIGION J
AND FUN
By Dr.. William S. Jacobs
Pastor Of First Presbyterian Church.
Houston, Texas

The world generally respects long
faced Christians, and some have the
idea that they are more pious because
Of this. But don't like that kind of
a man. You remember the poet was
once calling in his old classmates
after they were old men, and after he
had enumerated all, he spoke of the
laughing boy, the one whom you
might think vas all fun, but others
laughed at his good deeds, and his
poor friend laughed loudest If all. |
believe 1t is true in the great poem
of life, said DIR. Jacobs, hat the best
life is given to the man who ear go
through it with a smile.
| have had some experience with
this matter. When l was in college,
when I needed help and encourage
ment, | did not go to the austere man,
but to the man with the smile. 1t
seemed / could approach him easier.
| have had some experience along
these lines since I have been in the
ministry. Many men with sorrows and
trouble have come to me for advice
and assistance, and l do not believe
1t was because of any profound i'm
preston | had made upon them by
profound exposition, but because | had
met them with a smile, and they felt
they could come. If the little bit of
good / can do inside the church was
all that | could do, l would resign
from the ministry and take up a secu4
lar calling. Preaching sermons is not
the main work. The meaningless of
words. Any man can say things; any
man ear preach. If l had nothing to
do but get up sermons l could get
them up by the barrel My opportunity
for real work Is to go and meet peo-
pie with burdens on their hearts, and
to help them.
We find out a great many things
about the world when we get out in it.
After all, it was o the sermon on
the mount, but his life in the valley
and on the seashore that gives US
our conception of Christ. All the world
is trying to get away from its sorrow.
| think we have grown more and more
into Incorporating sorrows into our
faces, voices and manners.
What kind of a memory do you wish
to leave? Are you going to leave
your friends a happy thought that
win strengthen them and comfort
them after you are gone? This bust
ness of l~ong-facedness is one-half self
ishness and one-ha1f a lie. If your
soul is as sorrowful as your face ap-
pears, you are not content. The more

OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
OF AMERICANS TO WEST.
ERIN CANADA.

During the curse of a reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers, the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior of Canada at a banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter Of immigra-
tion. In part, he said:
The most important branch per-
haps of that department Qnterior) is
that of immigration.
IF there is anything more than an
other we want here 1t is a greater pop
u~lation, and 1t shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received in the past a reasonably
large immigration from south of the
International boundary, and in this
connection let me say just a word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst US, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers In the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces, happy in the en-
joyment Of a freedom ID great as they
ever knew, and all contributing In a
material way towards the development
of Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of u emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. AS
head Of the immigration department 1t
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
SO contribute to their welfare that In
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great a degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in it's power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt a vigorous emf
grafton policy in that country, we will
also adopt the same vigorous policy in
other parts Of the world. We will go
to England, Ireland and Scotland, and
every other country irrespective Of
race, creed or nationality. where we
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. l think
much good work a be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at

1t prevents deep freezing.
1t makes the fruit more solid for
