NNE of the hardest laws Of life is
that the sins of the parents are
visited upon the children. This
has been true from the days Of Adam
down. but we are only just now be-
ginning to be enlightened enough to
have some conscience about making
our children pay our debts to nature
and to realize that we have no right
to pass on our physical, mental and
moral Affections to another genera
ton.
The crime of crimes is for diseased
parents to bring into the world
child that is doomed to suffering and
sickness, and to weakness and fail
ure before ever IL is born, or one in
whose veins runs the tainted bloo5
that leads almost inevitably to the
prison or the insane asylum. BY
the side of that murder is a small
matter. To give life is just as serious
a matter as to take it, and often far
crueler, because those who are killed
have only an instants pain, whereas
the unfit must go through weary
years of an existence that is a per-
petual torture.
The Consequences.
The sins of the parents are visited
on the children morally just as much
as they are physically, and there can
be no stronger incentive for people to
live decent lives than that their chill
dren must reap as they have sOwn.
II is the parents who open or shut
the doors Of opportunity to their chill
dren. The son and daughter of the
father and mother who are honored
and respected find that the world is,
at least, willing to give them their
chance, while the children Of the
drunkard, the thief or the woman
whose name is on the lips of scan
dal are handicapped at every turn
and condemned before they have
had a chance to prove themselves.

If her mother has the reputation Of

The children are punished for the
sins of the parents. We may think
this unjust. but it is one of the in
exorable laws of fate that there is no
way to avoid.
Recently I have had two very pa

At last she fell sick and they did
come, and when they knew her secret
they refused to have anything to do
with her when she went back to
work She was also engaged to be
married to a worthy young man, but
when she revealed to him how her
mother lived he broke off the match
because he was not willing to marry
into such a family.
These girls both say that they have
chung to their mothers, trying to hold
them up, and hoping that love for
them would make the erring women
repent and lead better lives, but they
have become discouraged, they see
their own lives being wasted and
ruined, and they want to know what
is the right thing for them to do.
My advice would be to get up and
go so far away from home that the
shadow of their mothers shame could
not fall across their lives, and to
where they will have a chance to be
judged on their own merits instead

Owe a Debt.

Children owe debt to their pa
rents, but it is so very little in COM
parison with the debt that parents
owe their children that it is not to
be considered in a case like this.
More than that, when the parents
misbehave themselves they forfeit
their rights TO their children's consid-
Grafton.
A mother who has become a degrad-
ed sot, and who loves liquor better
than she does her children, certainly
has no claim upon the affections and
duty Of the daughter she disgraces.
The girl can do her no good by stay
ing with her and being dragged down
herself into the pit the mother has
digged with her weakness, and II she
is wise she will steal her heart
against a maudlin pity for her moth
er, and go and lead her own life,
and get what happiness she can out
of it, Independent of her mother.
Nor is there any reason why the
girl, whose mother has chosen the
broad road, should keep her mother
company. If the mother refuses to
lead a decent life her daughter is lust
as much justified in declining to asso-
ciate with her as she would with any
other woman of ill-repute. AS long
as she stays with her mother her
garments Will be despatched with

from her environment the better for

the work basket and rushed into her

in the pillow so the sound of her
sobbing would not reach him.
There had been hardly an hour in
the last week since she had lost her
ring that she had not looked for it
somewhere, and always with that sick
feeling of dread that II she did not find
it, Il would in some way mean some
estrangement between Warren and

think of what the days and nights

Nearly 1900 Seventh-day Adventist
churches in North America closed their
week of prayer services yesterday. The

all the churches was the principal part
of the services. A large crowd filled
the new church in TakOma Park, the

ton. Elder G. B. Thompson, secretary
of the North American Division Con-
ference, had charge of the services, and
the paper he read was entitled The
Blessed Hope
This paper dwelt on the early coming
of Christi Elder Thompson said that for
nearly seventy years the doctrine Of the
second advent has been preached, and
that that great event is very near az
hand.
Elder Thompson spoke of the beginning
of the advent movement in 1874, and
the earnestness of those who believed
that Christ was coming on October =
of that year. A praise service followed
the regular meeting.
Large audiences also attended the other
Adventist churches in the District and
Alexandria, where similar services were
held. 1t was announced that Elder
Daniels, president of the General Con-
ference; Elder Evans, president of the
North American Division Conference;
Elder Thompson, secretary of the North
American division, and Elder Eastman,
head Of the publishing department. would
leave last night to take part in ten min
isterial institutes that will be held in con-
nection with as many union conference
meetings. They will be gone until the
middle of May, and every conference in
the United States, and those in West
ern Canada, will be affected by these
