MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one TO most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham sVegetable Com
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.

A Day at Bayview Park.

To everyone. however demure and
pious he may be, there comes some
time a desire to be a little naughty-Jo
do something he really ought not to do,
to see something he ought not to see,
to say something he ought not to say,
or to visit some place which has d
reputation just a little Off color. Such
an impulse coming to me the other
day thought of Bayview Park. I had
heard that some good people, some
ministers and others, had criticised it,
and I thought surely a place criticised
by good people would answer my very
moderate desires in the line Of naugi-
tiness.
So, glancing covertly about, to make
sure none Of my acquaintance was
watching, I set out for Bayview, ex-
pecting to have a mildly riotous time.
I was disappointed. For those seek
ing to be even a trifle bad Bayview is
a snare and a delusion. 1t is eminent
" respectable. 1t is so respectable
that 1t isn't even interesting if you
happen to be possessed Of a gentle i'm
pulse to wickedness.
A Demonstration-Not an Experiment.
From another angle Bayview is in
teresting, intensely interesting. A Pen =
sacola minister not long since had the
courage to declare that it is an eX-
pertinent in practical Christianity. 1t
IS that and more. 1t is a demonstra-
ton that fun and frolic are not an
tagonistic to religion, pure and unde-
filed. 1t is a living proof that some
one in Pensacola has had a vision of
social service-the sort Of Christianity
that is going to redeem the world in
the next few generations, and has set
about to make the vision come true.
The religion of the past made an
emotional appeal to the spiritual ma
rrrEaN 4v@rv hi az
men who were willing to go to the
martyrs stake. IF you find a man now
who is giving his life in service to his
fellow men you are pretty likely to find
that his father believed in hell fire and
damnation.
The religion of the present is max
ing it's appeal to the intellectual and
is striving to strengthen the faith Of
those whose minds are befogged with
doubt, who cannot quite accept the old
faith in the old way, and have found
no substitute for it. The intellectual
religion of the present, when it comes
with conviction to a man makes him
a bulwark against every doubt The
religion Of the past and the present
related themselves particularly to a
mans personal salvation.
The religion of the fUture-a future
that is beginning now-will concern
itself not only with the mind and
spirit, with creating right beliefs, and
bringing salvation to the soul, but it
will recognize that every desire and
impulse of the heart and life springs
out Of a God-implanted nature and
that the desire or impulse cannot there
fore be intrinsicalIy bad. It can only
be bad as it is turned in the wrong di-
rection. And the religion of the future
will seek to open upright paths for
the development Of all the impulses of
humanity.
The average preaching only touches
half Of Christ's teaching. 1t forgets
that men have bodies to be saved, and
minds to be saved, as we'll as souls to
be saved. Religious thought is coming
to the point where it is being recog-

in the Crimean war at Sebastopol.
He was transferred and was with
General Havelock at the relief Of
Lucknow, He said every morning
orders were given for the troops to
witness executions. Twenty pieces Of
artillery, underground guns, were
parked, the troops formed on their
sides, and each day twenty Sepoys
were shot from the muzzles of the
guns, they being strapped in front one
by one. The guns were fired and the
unfortunate Sepoys blown to atoms.
This example was then military JUS
tice and has had salutary effect ever
since.
I have written a few incidents of
history. some given to me verbally,
other information being taken from
my scrap-book and the britannica"
All Of us can think and reflect upon
the horrible suffering endured by
helpless men and delicate women. All
Of US should be thankful that we have
been spared through Gods mercy from
having to endure such. Mana Sahib,

25, Generals Havelock and Putnam
fought their way into Lucknow, but
the siege was not finally raised until
November, when Sir Collin Campbell
cut his way through the thousands
Of mutineers. The British force was
not over 5000 men, the Sepoys over
$4,000. The city of Lucknow is about
forty miles from Cawnpore, where the
massacre occurred, and now has a
population of about a million.
The Sepoys made three different as
saults on the garrison before General
Havelock arrived on September 25, but
it was November when Sir Collin
Campbell cut his way into Lucknow
and effected the final deliverance of
the garrison. The siege of Delhi be-
gan June 8th and lasted with daily
fighting until September IA. The as
sault on the city was made and after
six days desperate lighting in the
streets the city was again captured.
General Havelock died at Lucknow in
November, 1857, of dysentery.
Shot Many Sepoys.
