Today.
What is today?

What is today?
A bubble on the stream of time; a
breath in the windstorm Of the years;
a faintest whisper in the ceaseless pean
of eternity.
And yet it is all of life that is given
TO US, all of the time-space that our
mortal %perceptiod could grasp at once.
Hour by hour, one day at q time we
must fill out u span of years. There
can ba no crowding, nor any r%etarding;
patient or impatient we must await the
guns ring and the first faint xlimmer
Of stars.
And this is the blessedness Of life,
this law that gives US q new beginning
Of things with each dawn. Each today
comes to us as a special gift of God,
with a new opportunity in its hand, q
new smile in its eyes, a new whisper
for OR heart.
There is something essentially sweet
in the thought that Today is ours.
Yesterday. with its splendid attain
ments or its bitter failures is folded
away irretrievably. Tomorrow, with
its plans ard aspirations, ear be but a
dream at best. We cannot tell what it
will hold, or, indeed, if for US it will
ever dawn.
But today belongs to US; it is ours to
make Or mar, as we meet it with sc.
renity and courage, OF shirk its rcspon-
sibilities with cowardice.
To surrender to disappointnents or
discouragements Or temptations is to
play the towards part and give the
day back 10 God like o hlotted scroll Of
which a shild would be ashamed. To
fight against the besctting ills, to give
the word of cheer to the toiler beside
you, to listen for the note of gladness
in the striking hours, and speed it on
with a fuller sound-this is to lift the
scroll To- the Giver' amid the evening
shadows, Illuminated as some golden
text Of old.
This is the new year. Three hundred
and sixty-fve Of these Todays make up
its soster. How shall we send them
again n by one to the Reader of all
records? 1t is a solemn thought if we
take it to heart, a serious question if
we ask it seriously.
The best way is to live each today as
if it were our last; to fill our hearts
with the sweetest thoughts; to keep
the golden rule Of fair dealing ever be-
fore us; to be sorry for mistakes, but
not to dwell,iwthe depths of regret; to
be q helper and not a hinderer. If we
live thus, each eyen-song will find 4
day well spent, and if n Of these
three hundred and sixty-five Todays
should be our last, it viii find US with
our eyes not darkened with the valley
shadows, but lifted serenely to the
hills of the amethystine dawn of that
unending Today, which is eternity

OphtkaI,nia Nconatorum.

Do you know what ophthalmia neon
atorum means? 1t is. the scientific name
for paby's sore eyes. 1t can a pus
discharge from the eyes and lids of
little newborn babies. It means that
the baby's eyes have been infected at
the time of birth or soon afterward.
There are over one hundred thousand
blind seople in the United States today
over ten thousand Of them have been
made so by this disease. Enough peo-
pie are made blind by this disease every
few years to populate a fairly sized
city, because of the carelessness or
neglect OF someone in caring for the
little newborn babies, Doctors have
been trying for years to stop this IN
necessary blindness by educating nur-
ses to recognize it in its beginning and
by getting laws passed which requires
midwives, nurses and others to report
at once, anything wrong with the little
ones eyes or lids, so that proper treat
ment nay be given before it istoc late.
But so far the public is net sufficiently
educated to appreciate the Importance
OF preventing this dreadful disease, nor
the danger of the neglect of these
lerF't 80 -, - EEEE. EfIHsE EHeAraAl
cases. There are still many such cases
occurring every day in which lifelong
blindness follows for want of precsu-
tons on the part Of parent, midwife
or nurse, or some enc else who has
charge of the little baby. 1t is an aw-
full responsibility when through such
carelessness or neglect, a baby is al
lowed to become blind for life. This
disease progresses rapidly when nee
contracted. Some doctors make it d
rule to have every bahy's eyes cleansed
carefully Immediately after birth ard
preventive methods used, TO destroy
any possible infection tina. may have
entered during birth. But doctors are
not always present, and it IS Ter this
reason it is necessary that every par
ent. every midvife, every nurse, or
whoever has charge of a ncw.bcrn ba-
by shculd report to the health officer,
any trouble with a new-born baby's
eyes. for on prompt action may depend
whether the BABY must be blind or moi.
