What more tragic2
A man died the other day whom no
body needed. Born with silver spoon
In his mouth, he had boosted of his
independence. He was bachelor all
his life; had Travelled extensively and
accumulated art treasures from many
lands. Life TO him was pleasure gar
den where flowers are grown to be
piucked at will. So far as any one
knows, he had never felt throb Of
sympathy for any living soul.
Nobody needed him.
One day this man fell sick and was
taken to hospital. Nobody inquired
after him. and nobody visited him.
He died, and nobody cared.
Says one who knew: "Only the self
ish and the useless are ever free.
Those who are worth anything are
bound by a hundred chains upon
them"
Is II not so?
And, If so, why should you wish to
be free2 The chains that bind you are
strong and silken chains, and they link
you up with usefulness and with hap

You cannot be needed too much, be.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
A NEGLECTFUL MOTHER.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

A teacher in one Of the schools OF a
big city made great effort to keep in
order a boy eleven years of age, son
OF a wealthy society woman.
Following a series Of misdemeanors,
she sent him home. She told him to in.
form his mother why lie had been dis
missed. Next day she asked the lad
II he had told his mother
NO"
"Why?" asked the teacher.
well. teacher. | haven't seen moth.
er for nearly two weeks, and then she
was just going out. When | start to
school in the morning she is asleep,
and they won't let me wake her When
i get home in the evening she is at
some afternoon tea, and when she
comes home late at night am In bed
So don't often see her."
In the school this youth is known as
"the bad boy"
But who is really bad-this boy or
his mother2
II may seem cruel TO so characterize
the mother, but
The woman is crimnally neglectful.
In the sight OF God she is guilty OF
breaking down the walls Of her home,
of exposing her own flesh and blood
of permitting the soul of her son to be
twisted by influences alien to the
home, of depriving her boy of a moth
er's guidance and influence.
Driven by her mad passion for en-
tertainment or by some Unsuitable spir
It Of reStlesSneSs. she leaves her son
TO his own devices.
Is it not tragic-and pathetic?
The boy is at the age when the body
is aqniver with vitality and the mind
restless and eager for impressions. Is
it strange he should blunder into evil
ways?
He is not to blame.
Under better environment he
might have been different. Send such
a boy to the country, give him oppor-
tunity to work off his surplus energy,
give him wholesome interests, make a
chum of him. care for him. and he is
likely to grow up a good and useful
man.

hoodlum or rake, a creature with
out stamina, physical, mental or moral;
a ruined boy. the wages of whose sin
may be early disgrace or premature
death.
And some day
Some day a dart shall pierce the soul
of this boys mother for having brought
a man child into the world and aban-
doned him to fate. Il

Interpretation OF. "And l heard, the
Dice" The effect was more onhanC-
ed from the fact that he had memoir

utility of voice was evidenced in the
tSo soprano solos rendered by Mrs.
Morton. Above the full tenor chorus
could be heard the rich clarion tones

likewise, sustained the bass Alto

INFANT BLASPHEMY.

The small boy-he could scarce have
been more than six years OF age-was
crying.
He stood over a sidewalk grating.
Near him was larger boy who taunt-
ed him. The small boys grief stopped
some OF the passersby. woman said
to him, "What Is the matter. my boy2"
With burst of sobbing the little fel-
low pointed down below the grating
and said, "He threw my ball down
there"
A small crowd had gathered. and one
man turned to the older boy. saying:
"Shame on you! He is smaller than
you. why did you throw his ball down
thereT'
"Dldn't do IT, Mother fellow done
It," responded the youngster. But he
quit making fun Of the little one and
stood on the defensive.
The denial stopped the small boys
sobs. His grief was merged into re-
sentiment He grew suddenly indg-
nant. And with his anger came a
great mouthful OF oaths.
Tue swearing OF tne tlny lhu was
frightful outpourlng. Women, shocked,
turned away
The men laughed.
Here was a mere babe uttering i'm
pious imprecations with all the aban-
don Of rough deck hand.
Where did he learn the staggering
way and the foul anathemasf BY
listening to his elders. OF course-prob-
ably In the street, possibly In his own
home.
