The Larger Prayer.

xuC AoIyCT 1TdyCEs
At first l prayed for Light
Could I but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly would I walk
To everlasting day.
And next l prayed for Strength
That I might tread the road
With firm unfaltering feet and win
The heavens serene abode. -
And then asked for Faith,
Could l but trust my God,
I'd live EMBODIED in his peace,
Though foes were all abroad.
But now l pray for Love,
Deep love for God and man,
A living love that will not fail

Woman's Prohibition League.

The monthly meeting of the WO-

held last week, was of unusual in
terest. The only disappointment
was the absence of the president.
Mrs. Randell Hunt, whose illness of
several weeks has confined her to
her home. The vice president, Mrs.
John Sewall, presided, and the Sec
rotary, Mrs. D. Timberlake, record

in the public schools was presented
and endorsed by the league.
Very interesting talks were made
by Rev. j. X. Smith and Rev. Claude
Jones of the Prohibition League,
giving a hopeful outlook of the
cause they have so much at heart.
Mrs. w. A. Bailie made strong
appealing talk on the subject, "Am

Mrs. James Booth, whose readings
and interpretations are always so
delightful on programme, read
with much sympathy and pathos

Church Was Built at keyhole Bog.

The secretary was instructed to
write letter of sympathy and re-

Notes and News

a*t* By M. +. ". $3.50

of the ''World's Congress of Hy-
eiene" published in the current
number of the Review Of Reviews,
gives an interesting account OF that
notable meeting and himself writes
thoughts that are worth remember
ing. He says that we all know and
should remember that disease is not
natural condition. but seems to be
almost solely the result of the for
nation of people into groups and
their gradually congested form OF
living. With this congestion and
with ignorance prevailing for many
generations and centuries, as to the
nature of disease, it is no wonder
that habits of slOthfulness have
been formed and the laws of health
been violated flagrantly and cOntln-
uously by men of all stages of civ
ilization. The writer says truly, the
task of the health authorities of to-
day is to overcome the inertia of
these many years, to teach the les
son of individual responsibility
while setting up officially created
safeguards.
No longer do people consider the
subject of hygiene one to be rele-
gated to the specialists and scient-
lists. They are taking an intelligent
interest in matters Of food purity,
in the protection of water supplies
from pollution, in the destruction of
noxious insects that carry disease,
in the establishment of better SAM
tary standards in places of dense
living, in the maintenance of pro-
tective measures among children in
schools, in the spread of informa-
ton to arouse the ignorant from
their disregard of health laws.
One of the most interesting facts
for the sanitary workers in 1.-The
South was cold by DR.. C. C. Bass, of
the medical department OF Tulane
University, who has succeeded in
growing the malaria parasite out
side of the human body. Such a
parasite was exhibited at the expo
sition hall. The laboratory cultiva-
ton has hitherto been regarded as
an impossibility by scientists for
the reason that the parasite is an
intercellular organism. DR.. BASIS
announcement created sensation.
The next step is the remedy. Ex-
hibits which attracted marked at
tention were the demonstration cars
equipped with various apparatus
and models used by the State boards
of health Of Louisiana and CalifOr-
MIA to illustrate to residents of the
small cities and towns, the most
modern methods of preventing dis
ease. Mounted speciment of disease
carrying flies and mosquitoes and
charts showing their anatomy, were
important factors of the exhibit.
Two Louisiana cars contained five
sectional exhibits on child hygiene,
pure food and anatomical speci-
mems.
Thanks to DR.. Bowling who 9
giving information and instruction
at home all the time, children are
being taught how to take care OF
themselves. The monthly health
bulletins issued by the State Board
of Health go to every school in the
State. Truths told about disease and
how to keep we'll, are so clearly ex-
pressed that the youngest child can
understand them. Louisiana is tru-
ly awake on the subject of hygiene.

Mothers Meeting.

The January meeting of the Moth
ers Club was held as usual in the
kindergarten room of the central
school. Being in the nature of a
new year greeting and meeting with
new hopes and aspirations for work
the meeting was largely attended.
The atmosphere was soft and spring
like, though the month was in mid
winter, and to keep up the fiction of
spring, the room was abloom with
narcissus and hyacinths and fra
grant with their sweetness. After a
greeting by Miss Schuster the meet
ing was opened with the Lords
prayer, repeated by all standing The
regular programme followed:
Song, Absent" Miss Lucille Glib
son, instructor of music in the pub
lie schools. Talk on the mothers
work in the kindergarten, by Miss
Schuster. Song, Lullaby" by Mrs.
Lambert. Talk, Mr.. G. c.. Huckaby,
principal of the high school. Con-
struction work by mothers. Music,
Miss Eloise Spilker. Dainty refresh
ments were served by Mrs Castle,
Mrs. CrOyle and Mrs. Hamel. Souve-
Mrs were pretty tan cards with the
followed poem lettered in gold:
I'VE would floor your path with
sunshine,
We would fence you from all i'll;
We would crown you with all bless
ings
If we could but have our will.
Aye, but human love may err, friend
And a power all-wise is near,
So we only pray God bless you,
And keep you through year."
