MOTHERS AS THEY JOIN
THE HOME CIRCLE AT
EVENING TIDE.
A Crowd Of Ohild,en.

Out from under flaming chandel-
iers and off from imported carpets.
and down the granite there Is COM
ing q great crowd of children in this
day unframed, saucy, incompetent
for all practical duties of life. ready
to be caught in the first whirl of
crime and sensuality. Indolent and
upfaithful mothers will make indo-
lent and unfaithful children. You
cannot expect neatness and order in
3 house where the daughters see
nothing but slatternliness and up
sidedownnativness in their parents.
Who are the industrious men in all
orr occupations and professions?
Who are they building the wall, tin
ing the roofs, weaving the carpets,
making the laws, governing the ma
tions, making the earth to quake,
and heaye and roar and rattle with
the tread of gigantic enterprises?
Who are they? For the most part
they are descended from Industrious
mothers, who in the old homestead
used to spin their own yarn aand
weave their own carpets and plat
their own door mats and flag their
own chairs and do their own work.
The stalwart men and the influen-
tial women of this day. SO out OF
a hundred of them came from such
an illustrious ancestry of hard
knuckles and homespun.

The Aged Christian Mother.
To us 1t 10 a beautiful sight to
see an aged Christian mother bask-
ing in the sunset of life that has
been nobly lived. We visit her at
her home. There she sits-the old
Christian mother-ripe for heaven.
Her eyesight is almost gone; but the
apiendors of the Celestial City kin
die up her vision. The gay light of
heavens morn has struck through
the gray locks which are folded back
over the wrinkled temples. She
stoops very much now under the
burden of care she used to carry for
her children. She sits at home to-
day, too old to find her way to the
house of God; but while she sits
there, all the past comes back to her
and the children that forty years
ago trooped around her arm chair
with their little griefs and joys and
sorrows-those children are all gone
now Some caught up into the bet
ter realm, where they shall never
die, and others out in the broad
world. attesting the excellency OF

into eternal spring-tide and youth
where the limbs never ache and the
eyes never grow dim, and the staff

Cultivate habit of being inter-
ested In noble and beautiful things.
Ideals. aspirations, longings for the
high and glorious things OF life are
the normal feeling of youth. Let us
carry them with us through life and
they will help to keep us young. Put
away disagreeable things, put them
out of your mind and life aas soon
as possible. II you lose the illusions
OF youth. replace them with the
truths of life, which you will find
as beautiful andmore inspiring Keep
envy and malice out of your heart
Refuse to be gloomy, disconnected
and morbid Be cheerful and insist
upon 1t in others. or rather, 1t will
be unnecessary to insist upon it..
Nothing is so contagious as cheer
fitness and hopefulness. One cheer
full woman can leaven a whole house
hold. Those about us reflect to a
great degree our attitude toward
them. If we believe in our children
and friends we will find them be-
coming more worthy of our faith.
The prevailing idea of the time
is to make everything as pleasant
as possible for the children. And
the principle seems almost unques-
tionable. 1t would seem a little short
OF barbarous to be otherwise. But
some good things are spoiled by
OVERRIDING. and 1t may be that we
are OVERRIDING the attempt to make
everything pleasant and agreeable
for the rising generation. In the
home, in the school and in church
our whole study may be to please
the child and make the way easy.
But when the household pet pass

Is not made easy. Grim difficulties

severance will overcome them. But
