Chat With My Many Friends

1t is natural and right that a
mother should wish to see her
daughter we'll educated and even
highly accomplished and it is a
mistake that good and careful
education should unfit a girl for
the homely duties of cooking,
busting and general housework.
On the contrary, those duties
would be better performed if
mothers would at the same time
that they seek talented instructors
for their daughters, impart to
them some of their own culinary
talent; there would be more good
wives and marriages.
If your grown son or daughter
shave accomplished some difficult
piece of work rendering your es-
sential assistance; or have climbed
some step in the daily drill of
study, or have acquired some new
accomplishment, or added grace;
or better than all, have gained the
victory over some bad habit or
besetting sin acknowledge it, see
il. praise them fol- it. Let them
see by your added tenderness, the
deep Joy and comfort it gives you.
%Thus you will create a great in
centive to right conduct, and lay
broad foundation for character
which shall be redolent with a
succulent fruit and fragrant bios,
SONS.
What can equal a mothers love
for the boy? You boys have
grown up from tender babies un-
der a mothers watchful care. All,
boys, how many heartaches do you
cause that dear old mother! DO
YOU realize the world of affection
an a mothers heart? What joy
can you have in sorrow? What
pleasure in her pain? Stop, my
lad, and think of your mothers
1 heart. You have it in your power
TO make it glad, or make it sad.
Let your heart warm to hers as it
did when babe in her arms.
Kindly stroke the gray hairs on
her head and assure her that in
your heart there is seated deep
and lasting love and reverence for
her.

The Colorado statesman., 1912-05-25

In this enlightened and progressive
age, it seems disheartening to see men
who have had all of the opportunities
afforded by the college and university
for enlightenment devoting their time
and strength to trying to throw mud
and to pull somebody down instead Of
trying to help somebody up.
There is a class of so-called college
men who seem to think it a part of
their duty to try to weaken every
movement that has for its object the
progress of the negro race. They
stand off at far distance and throw
stones" They very seldom do any
thing to build up an individual or work
in the direction of constructive prog
ress. Their whole idea seems to be
to throw mud"
This attitude we are glad to say is
only assumed by comparatively
small number OF college men and that
number is growing beautifully less
every year. For the most part, the
men and women who are coming out
of the colleges and universities are
exhibiting broad and generous dis
position to hely lift somebody up and
to help construct something.
We pity the little. weak fellows who
are still working in the dark, think
ing only of their own selfish, mean mo-
tives. We hope the time will come
when they win change their attitude
and get much more satisfaction and
happiness out of life than they are
now getting.
Tearing down and throwing mud
has never made big man in the his
| tory of the world.-New York Age
It's not only men that have been
targets for slander and the throwing
of mud" but some of our excellent
women and young girls have received
unkind words from little women who
are jealous and envious of the con
structive progress made by husband!
and fathers.
Some of our race seem to delight il
tearing down" peoples standing be
cause of their getting along in tn,

ment remaining in American cities is
added the immigrant and his problem.
Europe is giving to America its from
tiersmen, some good, some bad. Then
he added concerning it all: UNLESS
the Christian church can, right here
and now, come out into the open and
put up a fight that is a fight it will
never conquer these evil forces. And
if it does not fight it will have no
message thereafter that is worth de-
livering to anybody"
No wiser conclusion has been reach
ed by any of the churchmen and re-
formers who have in good faith grap-
pied with the supreme problem of hui
man government than that of Mr.. Rob
ms. If society cannot protect itself
from the vast mass of people whose
tendencies, dominated by their appe-
tites and thirsts and the weakness
that allow these to make outcasts and
criminals, are naturally downward.
The morality of Africa and Asia and
Europe in parts has been un-
dermined and destroyed in the
past by the evil forces of society
y
and thirsts and animal passions for
slaughter and disregard of the rights
and interests of the weak members of
the race. Certainly if America shall
so the way OF the countries before it,
with no power in its Christian philos-
ophy of the home, the church. the
school and the state, to hold the evil
powers in restraint, then certainly
Christianity will have no message
when the failure comes. If it should
to deliver to anybody
The bad men of the past have
sought isolation in large measure, to
live their wild savage lives on the
frontiers of civilization; but there are
no more frontiers; civilization has
come upon them by the way of the
r-ilroad and steamboat and telegraph
lines, and bad people in the large cen
ters have got to be held in check or
they will destroy civilization itself.
Everywhere white men realize the
gravity of the situation, and are fight
ing it with Salvation armies, Chris
tian associations. temperance organ
iZations, social purity societies. and
the earnest work of the churches in
settlement work, and the like, in
which personal interest in the people
is made a leading factor; but among
our people this is far from being true.
There is here and there a desire, a
movement to stem the rising tide of
fast and reckless living, but it is al
most imperceptible in its influence
and invisible in its work. The swing
in the large cities is distinctly away
from the Christian philosophy of high
moral thinking and living, and towards
the fast life of the dance gardens. the
wide open cafes, the saloon life of the
loafer and the gambler, and the sharp
practices of the light-ingered in all
directions TO get the money needed to
go the pace that kills"
There is need among the negroes of
the large cities of the republic for
such active work as the whites are
doing to stem the tide steadily ris-
ing, or fast and reckless living, among
the young and the old. We have said
this before, but we are constrained to
repeat it from time to time lest we
forget New York. Age.
