WIsD0n FROM The FAR PAST.

Many centuries ago lived st. John
Chrysostom, an early father OF the
Christian church and one Of its wisest
and best. His name was John. The
surname Chrysostom. which means
golden mouth" was given to him for
bis eloquent preaching.
II you have never read the life of
ST. John Chrysostom 1t will do you
sgood to read it. 1t u record almost
; unparalleled Of zeal and earnestness in
z sdenonncing evil. Of upholding righteous
standards in the midst Of corruption.
1t tells Of life lived for God through
good and evil report, amidst privations
land injustice.
Fer nearly twenty centuries the
Christian church has had preachers,
men who have expounded with beauty

one Chrysostom.
His golden tongue" still breaches.
Besides preaching and inveighing
saainst the teachings Of evil, Chrysos-
tcrf wrote much. One Of the best
knouri of his writings has for its text,

WOMAN's PATIENCE.

When the world wants to express Its
appreciation of patience under trials
and difficulties it turns for example
to man!
1t speaks Of Job. the man of Uz, who
had boils and was visited by certain
holy men.
It tells Of St. Simon Stylites. who
stood on the pillars for thirty seven
years.
1t recites with fine appreciation the
patience of Lincoln during the trying
days of the great war or repeats the
tale Of Washingtons endurance in the
winter Of Valley Forge
Wrong, all wrong!

Of men and of their maiden sisters are
to be found in everyday occurrence

men can show Mans bearing Of the

Take, for example, this case Of Wo-
man in Chicago who was deserted by
her husband forty-seven times. Forty
six times she forgave him and took up
anew the load Of living with him.
Forty-six times! Then her spirit re-
belled and she hailed him to court.
"She waited too long" you say.
Agreed. But think OF the patience OF
the woman and then take out the
markers from the books wherein are
recorded the patient deeds Of men.

never gives me cent for support"
The man in the case admitted the
record. He was sent to jail when he
told the Judge he would not contrib

Christian TX. of Denmark. and his
mother being the eldest daughter Of
Grand Duke Constantine, a brother Of

ADDS TO THE LENGTH OF LIFE
ercise, Especially to Those Who
Have Passed Beyond Youth.

Some Of the most Doted Of the old
men Of New York, successful in bust.
ness, the professions and public af-
fairs, have formed a walking club for
the purpose of making their pursuit
Of still greater length of days and still
better health as agreeable as 1t IL
sensible. They. intend to take long
walks together and no doubt, to make
their pedestrian experiences the sub
ject OF entertaining discussion and a
store OF memories held in common.
This is an example which might well
be followed In every city OF the United
States. In the era of motor vehicles
there Is danger that walking will be
increasingly neglected. especially by
men and women advanced in years,
who often need It most. There Is a
constant temptation to forget that rid
Ing In the open air, fine as 1t Is in
many ways, can never do for the body
what walking does.
