Dear Mutudts:

Dear Mutuats:
Think we are getting rather delinquent, and
when Aunt Madge has been so good to give
a vacation, too. Well, the saying goes that
"good nature is always imposed upon, and
I'za afraid she is being too indulgent; not but
that she is fully capable of filing the column
and to our satisfaction and enjoyment, but
think it lightens her burdens when she has a
good supply of letters to help he. fill the
column.
have been interested in the letters discus
sing the high cost of living, but hardly felt
could add anything to it, for our living comes
principally from the production of the farm
and hennery, SO we don't realize what high
cost of living means as do those who have to
buy everything they subsist upon. With my
small family and my John no eater of meat, it
doesn't make SO much difference to us IL
prices do soar.
Do any of the sisters ever make mince meat
from corLed beef? have made all mine from
that this winter, and like it much. l am fond
of boiled dinners, so a small piece of meat
goes a long way. For a change, and as my
John is fond of them, use up the remnants in
mince meat. A small piece will make a num-
Der OF pies.
have another suggestion that think got
from the Ladies' World, that / have found
true, and also great relief, when we have
ten or fifteen bushels Of small potatoes to boil
for the hens, and the stove is all shiny and
clean, to have the kettle boil over and daub,
it up, besides the unpleasant smell it makes
The remedy: Grease the edge of the kettle
and 1t can't get over it. II anyone who sees
this is troubled as / have been. feel sure
she viii appreciate the relief 1t brings to q
body that enjoys q clean stove, which con-
TESS is one Of my hobbies.
Come, wake up, sisters, and tell us what you
are all doing, now Christmas is thing Of the
past. Although 1t is rather late. want to
thank all the NJ. BIS for their kind thoughts
at Christmas.
Oh, yesl was going to tell you have got
my first rug in the frame. Somehow haven't
got up as much enthusiasm jet as last year,
but, IL winter holds, I may.
Narcissus, why can't we hear from you and
how you like Aroostooks That's where you
are, isn't II. And there are quite number Of
others that we would all be glad TO hear from,
wouldn't we, Aunt Madge. Glad to welcome
the new corners to take the places of Sadie
and others. who have passed on to the higher
life.
Was much Interested in "Neb's" recent let
tiers. Shall be glad TO know when she returns
again to Maine.
Aunt Maria, how are you and yours, espec-
tally the sweet, biue-eyed grille? Let us know
soon, please.
There, Aunt Madge, viii stop now. for this
Is rather crazy combination. I have
skipped from one thing to another and
haven't really said much, after all.
Loving greetings, from

Dear N. BIS:

with girl to place in the industrial school at
Hallowell. She seemed happy to think she
was going. While there. ! went through the

have all the grades, including the high school
grades. At one school they sang for my
entertainment At the high school the exer-
cises were appropriate for Feb. I2-Lincoln's
birthday. They all seemed SO happyi
Thursday forenoon went to the ChiIdren's
home at Augusta, where found the new ma
tron and her husband-to- be, Manning Perkins
and wife, formerly Of Brooksville; SO, of
course, we found plenty to talk about. Mrs.
Perkins was Miss Helen Bickford, known for
many years as teacher in Hancock county.
They are truly the right people for the place.
The little ones run to Mrs. Perkins as to q
mother. They call her mamma. They have 3

,r aope sas,,,a ,aa ans nronse-
grafton meeting) Edited by Rev. sher-
man H. Doyle. D. d.
The Sermon on the Mount. from
which the topical reference is taken, is
preeminently a practical sermon. 1t
was Christ's opening address to His
chosen apostles and to the people as
sembled together. He did not touch
upon the deep spiritual truths which
He later presented, but emphasized the
practical duties devolving upon those
who were members of the kingdom of
heaven. Moreover, the standards set
before those who were to become His
disciples were the highest ethical stand
ards ever presented to the world be-
tore or since. Christianity Is not only
doctrinal, but also practical. The dis
cipies of Christ were to do as well as
to be. They were not only to possess
the Light, but to let their light shine.
LET your light SO shine before men
that they may see your good works
and glorifys your Father which u In
heaven"
The world needs practical Christians.
1t Is more deeply impressed by what
men do than by what they say. No
protestation OF Christian faith, how
ever strong, will be accepted In lieu of
Christian works.
Faith without works is dead, being
alone" James meant to cast no re-
Election upon Christian faith, but he
was right In declaring that such faith
must be demonstrated by works. And
there Is SO much that the world needs
and that a Christian can do. The world
Is full Of sorrow and trouble, and the
Christian should do all in his power
to comfort the Borrowing and afflicted.
Letters of sympathy and personal Wis
its are greatly beneficial to those who
are in trouble and in bereavement
There are the poor who need to be as
sisted, the unemployed who need to be
given employment and assisted In OBJ
tanning it. Social conditions In our
larger cities and even in smaller places
are wretched. and there is an obliga-
ton resting upon the disciple of Christ
to do what he can to better such con-
ditions.
The call for social service today Is
stronger than ever before. and no
Christian should shirk his duties to the
social life of all classes of people.
Places of temptation exist and should
be DESTROYED. and every influence of
the Christian should be exercised In
their overthrow. There are also political
conditions that need to be changed.
and the Christian owes duty to his
state. Greatest of all, there are all
about us unsaved souls. and we are

threatened With delay by the action OF
the state III Georgia which has filed a
protest with congress against the man
ner In which the amendment was pas
sed py that body. The Georgia legis-
lature claims that an amendment to
the federal constitution must have the
sanction OF two-thirds of the members
of each house of congress, not two
thirds of those present when the reso-
luton was passed. The claim, III held
to be valid, will have the effect to de-
lay the adoption Of this reform, one
which has great majority or the
people back OF IL and will only increase
the clamor for more flexible constitu-

The question Of suffrage for women
IL not settled by any means by the de-
feat of the proposed amendment to the
constitution. 1t is but delayed for a
time for the women are going TO have
the ballot in time just as certain as
the day follows the night. The ques-
ton Is going 10 be submitted again IN
Michigan, probably next spring. Dur
ing the week Gov. Ferris expressed
himself as disappointed that the ~
mendment didn't carry. However,
there are different angles to this extern
sion OF suffrage and now that we have
time TO think the matter over before
another election the people should ac-
quaint themselves with the question so
that they may vote intelligently when
the time comes. One OF the chief OBJ
iectinns TO the extension of suffrage as
proposed ny the defeated amendment
was the fact that ignorant women were
enfranchised as we'll as the intelligent
women. The country Is still suffering
from the enfrsnchisament OF the ig-
norant negro and many object tn add
ing 10 uur troubles A proposal made
10 the New York Legislature seems to
cuver the case. partially at least. The
proposal is to enfranchise only women
that are citizens by birth or naturali
cation lr) ess. All foreign born women
must be naturalized by the same pro-
co AZ as the males in order to get the
ballot That proposal seems to be
good one and IT is worthy of considera-
ton
