heart of the woman and the woman is
the heart of the man. The child and
the woman are the two-fold sides of
the heart of society. And blessed are
the pure in heart for they shall see
God.
Whatsoever Things are Lovely.
Whatsoever things are lovely. Isn't
it interesting that this word is natural
ly so closely connected with the one
before-just as true and honest-and
| one pair is particularly fitted to the
life of men and the other pair is par
ticularly fitted to the life of women.
We like to think that our women are
thinking of things that are lovely. Of
ten under the pressure of the busy
economic life men cannot give time
to the things that are beautiful and
lovely but that is all the more reason
why women should try to supply this
lack. The world of affairs is not ask
ing very much for things that are love
ly--it asks for things that will work,
that will make money, that are useful;
if then art is to find its way into our
life it must come through the women.
And how much we need this in our
lives. How little aesthetic culture we
have. Could many of you young la
dies contentedly spend an evening
alone reading Tennyson or Longfel-
low? And yet poetry isone of the things
that is lovely. Or would you be will
ling to spend an evening studying good
music just that you might be the bet
ter cultivated and that you grow more
melodious in your character? Music
should not be turned into money so
readily if it is to have its true refin-
ing influence over US. Or how many
of you are developing your love for
nature? What of all things is more
lovely than the beautiful mountains-
the starry sky or the rosy dawn? The
life of our nation needs things lovely.
Our large cities are too often terrible
l-flthy-ugly and unhealthy-where is
there anything lovely, unless it be the
dear little children or the well-tended
little gardens. Our homes also need
more Of the truly lovely. Beauty does
not mean that we must be elaborate
and expensive-it means that things
must be genuine, simple and pure.
Mothers can do a great deal for their
country by making home lovely IN
every way. The mere physical beatty
of home has a great influence over
every one that lives in it; and how
{ much more has the moral beauty. The
! lovely voice-the lovely nanner-the
+ lovely disposition, how valuable, how
practical these are. O let US think or
:, things that are lovely.

r Again one of the qualities that make
i for the ideal woman. Let US then jus
n briefly add one quality that is of goo'
u report. This final quality that we ar
to consider while it is in the feminine
o trio has as we'll as the feminine,
r strongly masculine side-it is one tina

IS on us if we really want it. Yes, W
IS need religion if our characters are t
be rounded. If we are to see thes
,e qualities ever before us we must com
1. to some definite knowledge of Go,
C. and if that knowledge is to be reall
e. definite and personal it must com
r. through the revelation He gave {
Of Himself in Jesus Christ. And if "
10 are to keep in close communion wit
" His son it must be through the il
I dwelling of His Holy Spirit whom H
is promised to send to all who truly TO

al report than the Christian religion Z:
he God has given it to US in His Hol
ke Church.
II So much then for the things upc
m which St. Paul would have US thin
e. II hope you win never forget ther
or To our secular education then let ,
add this moral and spiritual educ
ton that comes from right thinkin
This is the truly higher educatio
re Over the valleys that we must q
ne live in let US have this atmosphere
en- morality and religion, Through eve
al duty of life let US see way to
true, and honest and just; IN every !
'r- sponsibility of life let US resolve to
10 pure, and lovely and of good repo
ire Then out through the door OF 9
IRE daily activities we shall pass into I
It infinite ocean of spirit and love-t
