THE TONE OF VOICE.
1t is not 80 much what you say,
As the manner in which yon say it;
1t is not so much the language yoo use,
As the tones in which you convey IL.

And the baby covered and veptf

And straight to my lap ne ereps.
The words may be mild and fair,
And the tones may pierce like dart;
The words may be soft as the summer air,
And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by stady and art;
But the tones leap forth from the inner self
And reveal the state Of the heart.
Whistler you know IL or not,
Whether you mean or care,
Gentisness, kindness, love, and hate,
Envy and anger are there.
Then would yea quarrels avoid
And In peace and love rejoice,
Keep anger not only out Of your words.
Bat keep it out Of yonr voice.

Topic.-Readins that is worth WHILE
Tim iv, 7-is Edited by Rev. Sherman FL
Doyle D. d.
II ii could be said In Solomon's time
that .of the making of books there Is
no end" what must be said upon this
subject today? The abundance Of the
literature that is turned ont today Is
simply appalling. OF the making Of
newspapers. magazines, periodicals and
books of all kinds there seems to be
literally no end But the more appall-
ing fact concerning all this literature
is that some one reads 1t all. Some one
reads some copy Of every paper. every
magazine and every book that is pub
lished! And when we consider the
character of some of the literary out
put of this age Of printing the fact
that it is all read is indeed appalling
The abundance Of modern reading
matter makes it absolutely necessary
that we should exercise wise and pTu-
dent discrimination in what we read.
II our reading is to be worth while
To read all that Is printed Is phys
ical impossibility. We simply could not
do so. even If we so desired In the
days OF few papers and few books
little wisdom in proper selection was
needed. Indeed. there was little or no
choice But today it is vastly different
A penny may buy q paper that will
make US better or make Us worse.
Libra ries filed with books that may
prove a blessing or curse are at our
disposal How carefully. bow wisely.
then. should we choose Books are
most intimate friends. We may read
what we would not dare TO hear. and
the printed page leaves an indelible i'm
press upon mind and heart and life. 1t
may be unconscious. but it is no less
real Youth especially should be par
ticular In their reading. as the young
are more easily impressed and youth
ful impressions are more lasting. Let
Us therefore not associate in our read.
ing with scenes and characters that we
would never dream Of allowing as real
scenes and real persons into our lives.
Reading that Is worth while must
have a purpose Reading for the mere
sake of reading is WEAKNESS to the
fesh." just as much as aimless study
is. This purpose should always be
noble. worthy one. and that which
Is filthy or impure can never accom-
plish true and noble purpose. In the
literature of the world we may as
sociate with the worlds greatest
minds: we may make the best
thoughts of the brightest inteIlects
our own; we may associate with the
purest and noblest Of the worlds real
or fancied heroes and heroines. Why.
therefore. should we choose the base
minds, the ignoble characters as the
most intimate associates Of our most
secret lives? Reading may be for en-
tertainment. for instruction. for inspi-
.ation. Distinctive religious purposes
should have greater place in our
reading and for the accomplishment Of
the supreme purpose the Bible should
have the chief place. 1t is interesting,
instructive and inspirational above all
books. and we should make it "a lamp
to our feet. and light to our path"

Dear. Aunt Madge:

There are about four miles to the shore line
of said cove, which is really two coves. with a
long, wide point between.

who was mixing feed for his potato bugs.
he had a tub of water in wheelbarrow;
some paris green in pail in which he did
the mixing, and sprinkling can into which
he poured the stuff mixed. And having thus
filed the sprinkler, he proceeded to sprinkle
the potato tops as he walked between the
rows. As came up he looked up and said:
"Good morning.

years old, and he wanted to talk to me. let
him have his way; consequently we had a
very pleasant chat together. He told me

Dear M. b. Friends:
The things worth while. What are
they? If we each should write out for
ourselves alone, those things which are to
6e done and we can do, that are worth
while, what would the list contain? And
wonder, IL we were quite honest in COM
pairing the things we do with the things
worth while, would we enjoy reading the
recordf Then again, our standards are so
different; how would our various lists diff
fer, and in what points would they agree.
The things worth while what would
they be? Perfect housewifery, .skeeping
up with The times" making home happy,
attaining social position, taking care of
our physical being, developing our mem
tai powers, lending helping hand, over
coming bad habits, exercising charity and
patience for others weaknesses, working
for the betterment OF society, and so on
and on dd infnitam.
There are two general views OF this sub
iect we can take up. On the one hand are
those whose daily cares are so numerous
they have no time to make choice of what
they will do. One piece of work or one
duty crowds upon the completion of the
one Immediately preceding, and some
times. in truth, overtakes it. These may
be home cares, hich include the house
keeping In all its particulars, and the care
of the children who so largely make up
family lie. There is no need 70 search for
things worth while in these conditions
Everything is worth while in sphere
like that.
On the other hand, those with leisure
have chance to choose the things they
consider worth while. Individual taste
has much to do with these selections
The question is: viii these selection.
