REWARD FOR HER TROUBLE
Sometimes Aunt Myra breads Get
ting Ready for Church, but Efforts
Are Well Worth While.

"Aunt Myra" took her hands from
the dish water, wiped them on her
apron and gave her visitor a chair.
Her husband had gone to a neighbours
and while they waited for him to
come back she talked about her home,
the school and the church that she at
tended, two miles away
It's hard to get there sometimes"
she said, but l manage to go almost
every Sunday Sometimes it rains,
and l think | can't, but generally
little clearing spell comes just before
church time and we get in between
showers. And sometimes it gets hot.
One Sunday 1 thought l couldn't go.
1t was sultry and the mornings work
was hard, and by church time | was
tired out. But I went to the sink and
| pumped the big basin full of cold
water, and | washed my face, and l
rolled up my sleeves and washed my
over my wrists, and l felt a lot better
And when l looked in the glass my
face wasn't so red as you might eX-
pect So I thought I'd go, after all
well, when my husband saw me
getting-Feady, he washed, too, and put
en- his clean clothes, and said: Z de-
clare, you look real NIGEL! and he said,
Well, come to think of it, you look
real nice, too Of course he's partial.
but it does a body good to hear it
SAID, anyway
ut seems as if our minister always
knew just what needed. and I
thought the sermon that Sunday was
meant for me. 1t was practical and
gave you lots. of comfort, too. You
know the kind of sermon l mean,
don't you?
when church was out, and was
standing in the vestibule, waiting for
my husband to bring the buggy round,
the minister came out, and what do
you think he said to me?
HE said Mrs. Radford, I want to
tell you how much you encourage me.
Preaching In the summer is hard
work, SO many people go away; so
many find it easy to stay at home;
church work reaches a low ebb. But
every Sunday, rain or shine, know
you and your husband will be here. |
know how hard you work. and when |
see you sitting there, reverent and
prayerful and attentive, you are real
help and inspiration, and | want to
tell you So
well, sir, I didn't know what to
say. l stood there looking foolish,
guess. But wasn't it good of him to
say that? I knew all the time my
going to church was doing me good,
but who'd have thought that l was en-.
couraging the minister?"-Youth

VIEW ON PERSONAL LIBERTY
Home Has Its Rights Which Saloon
Is Bound to Respect-Each Man
Is King over Himself.

You say, 81 will eat, drink, wear,
speak, just what please" But society
says. Nay, friend, you cannot speak
what you please. 1t will be easy for
you to utter words so blasphemous or
so unfit for ears polite that you will
trench on the sharp circle of the law.
1t will be easy for you to appear
among us in such garb, that we shall
hand you over to the courts"
And so we come with the question,
What business do you intend to fol-
low? In your contract with society
it is important to have an answer to
this question before we let you In
Il shall start a gambling house"
Co. no, you won't, my friend; the
principle of gambling is a principle of
getting something for nothing, and
would be utterly subversive of So
ciety"
Well then; will have a shop to
sell vile literature"
20, no, you won't; we shall inter
fere with your personal liberty just at
that point in the sacred interest Of
childhood and of home"
Il will set up a tannery, a slaughter
house, powder mill alongside of
your houses"
No, you will not; for we will de-
clare them nuisance on the instant.
You may not even build house of
such material as you happen to pre-.
fer. We legislate on all these matters
in the interest of the majority"
We'll, then; l will start an opium

no, we will have an ordinance
against that whenever you attempt
such an atrocity."
"But # you are so hard on me will

NO, you will not, my friend, and
for the self same reason that we will
not tolerate the traffic in opium-pois-
on gathered from poppies-we will not
let you sell the alcohol poison dis
