Old-Fashioned Mother Nc
Suffragette.

Thank God, some of US have an
old-fashioned mother. Not woman
of the period, painted and enameled:
with all her society manners and
fine dresses, white jeweled hands
that never felt the clasp of baby
fingers. but dear old-fashioned
mother with sweet voice, eyes in
to whose clear depths the love light
shone. and brown hair just threaded
with silver lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. The hands worn with
toll, gently guided our steps in
childhood and smoothed our cheeks
in sickness, ever reaching out to us
in. yearning tenderness. Blessed is
the memory of an cld-fashioned
mother. 1t floats to US like the beau
tiful perfume of some wood bios
SONS. The music of other voices
may be lost, but the enchanting
memory of hers will echo in our
soul forever.-Exchange.

We thought sure that the war was

revival, we entertain some hopes of

ters felt jubilant at the thought that
God had not forgotten us by leaving
us to die in our sins. Felt jubilant
that the prophesies .(Matthew "a

were being fulfilled in our day!
Sorry that men had to perish, but
glal to know that God was still
living. Every man that falls in line
helps to keep the war from us;
every man that does not, helps to
bring it on US. Only a beast of q

it. Don't you pity the poor fellow

Had not prayer been offered, we
believe this whole world would be

A Great War Revival.

It will be of great interest to all
Christians to know that the greatest
religious revival is sweeping over
the world to-day which has ever
been experienced. Several weeks
ago we prophesied from the pulpit
that this would be the case in this
country if we, as Americans, could
only smell the smoke. That this
would be the case in Europe was a
we'll known fact which we deduced
from the history of the past. Do
you not know that this wave is
sweeping over fashionable France,
skeptical Germany, prosecuting Rus
sia, desolate Belgium; that it has
seized England, gone into Scotland
and is making it's way across the
sea to this continent? Do you not
know that, in the face of this stu
p,ndous fact. which we fore,old as
a result of this war, by saying that
there would not be room in the
churches for the congregations, that
in this community, as in Others,
thers were so. called civilized peo.
pie that are still living without God
and without we'll grounded hope;
but spending the Sabbath reading
the secular newspaper, and seeking
their own ease and pleasure? That
these atheistic cubs are still defy
ing God with their silent contempt
of his revealed will by paying no
more attention to religion than they
did months ago? When God gets
hold of them. for deliberately clos
ing their eyes to and shutting their
ears against such manifestations,
can any man predict what their f.
nal end will be? Yes, He'll in its
awfulest! Fellow citizens, let me
most affectionately beseech you to
arouse yourselves from such a pro-
found sleep. 1t is high time 20 be.
gin to think just little, when the
scientists, profoundest philosophers,
noblest statesmen, kings upon their
thrones and peasants in the field,
professed atheist and profane inf
dels, all lay aside every earthly in
terest, assemble in one common
place of worship, not to hear
preaching, but to sit for hours and
have the Word of God read, to fall
down and pray, to get up and sing,
and spend each hour with the one
thought-God in their minds. 1t is
high time for these little intellect
ual pigmies of America to begin to
reflect upon so serious subject as,
where and how shall l spend eterni-
ty? This is no new revelation, how
ever, for if you will read carefully

The jewels
BY MARY LYLE WARNER.

In the most critical situation of her
young life, Alma Waite gazed longing
ly at the engagement ring upon her
finger and wondered if she would ever
see its giver again.
Where is he, and what is to become
of mel" was the constant burden Of
her thoughts.
A knight Grant brave and true,
Adrian Bond would have been speedily
coming to the rescue of his lady love
in distress, but that grim visaged war
had presented its ugly menace and
rude clamors shook the common
wealth.
Her father and mother were at
Paris. There, too, were the Bonds,
making the European trip with their
closest friends. 1t was strange cir
cumstance that had taken Alma away
from them. 1t appeared that a half
brother of Mrs. Waite lived in little
town in Belgium, near the German
border. He had invited the family to
pay him a visit, but their plans would
not admit of it. Then he expressed a
wish to see Alma, who had been named
after his dead wife. He was fervent
in his appeal and half-minded to give
up his business and return to America,
he said The result was that Alma
took quick trip from Paris and found
herself an honored guest in the splen-
did but lonely home of her half-uncle.
Zephern Dacre was a diamond mer-
chant, conducting his business by trav-
cling from country to country Alma
was enchanted with the kindly way in
which he treated her. She was to
have remained with her relative only
three days, but Mr.. Dacre made up his
mind to close up his business, accom-
pany her to Paris and return with the
family to America and take up per-
manent residence there.
Directly upon the heels of this came
a declaration of war Mr. Dacre has
tened his preparations to get out Of
the country. He urged Alma to re-
main indoors, for the community sur

RAIL ROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief = President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
THAN MaaIc

Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such
is apparent to all In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but ON the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
am glad to do SO because | think
the need very real.'
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.

UnsanItary Country.

According to the National Council CT
Education and the American Medical
association, country school children
are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy
than city school children. Some OF the
reasons are that tightly closed doors
and windows and poor lighting are
more usual in the country than in
cities; that country children's teeth
are not properly cared for; they often
DO not get suitable luncheons, and
country sanitation is VIGOROUSLY prin-
tive.
