THE HOME CIRCLE !
JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY.

Deep in the heart Of Judaism
is enshrined a sacred, an immor-
tai word duty which makes of
man a moral source of the uni
verse. Deep in the heart of
Christianity is enshrined a sa-
cred and immortal word love
which makes a man a spiritual
being and links him to the divine
source of all life. Humanity
needs both these words in order
to become the perfect creation it
was ment to be. The one gives
the conscience, the other the
heart Of mankind, the one is the
masculine, the other the femi-
nine element Of the world. Ju-
daism gives the Ten Command
ments, and Christianity the Beau
titudes. But only the two to-
gether can yield the perfect ideal
the love that is simply the
highest duty, and duty that is
lost in love. And, in order to
come into this closer, higher I'M
ion, into the faith which makes
humanity whole, and not a thing
of parts, and the truth which
makes men free, fixed and form
ed codes must disappear; the
outer framework Of history and
theology must fall away, and
spirit be left free to seek spirit.
Then, and then only will life
have its whole meaning, as part
of larger life whose beginning
and end are hidden from mortal
vision. Religion will have its
full sway, and yet there will be
none who persecute, and none
who are prosecuted, for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of
the Lord, as the waters cover
the sea. =

Talk up your town; don't

here and abuse it. AS long as

WORK LESS, REST MORE.

Women who have the care of
house devolving upon them are
too apt to degenerate into mere
drudges, sacrificing every pleas
ure and recreation in the endeav-
or to minister to the physical
needs of their families. And
what a mistake they make in this
regard. Their physical welfare
is only part of a mothers duty.
Children need sympathy and
companionship daily and hourly
and where is it to come from if
the mother is always tired and
most always cross. 1t is pleas
ant to see a home neat and tidy.
but it is better to see a Uttered
floor sometimes. than to have the
children scold all the time to
keep it neat. A child enjoys a
play better if mother will sug-
gest or help them in it. Music can
be made a pleasant feature in the
home life also. Verify a mothers
mission is one Of the most impor-
tant in this world, and we should
try to fill it in the best possible
way.

Most Amusing Instance of Error

In the Princeton Press of West Virgi-

cause of an error in one letter of a pc
tition. There is district in that state
known as Hill Top. When the people

Small ostrich tips have been re-

wire. II is composed of two rounded
strips which are caught together at
each side over the ears about three
inches from the end with jet pins.
The crown is OF satin. separated into
four squares by two cords crossing its
center.
The distinctive feature of this hat
is the way the two ovally shaped ends

trude horizontally on each side from
the jet buckles.
The hat is placed on the head from
the back. II is advisable to pay a
good deal Of attention. by the way,

are often shocked by the way the
wearer abuses their creations. Some
times the hat intended to be worn on
the back of the head, is placed on the
top. Again. a hat with severer lines,
which depends for its style on being
worn straight, is tilted absurdly back

almost entirely upon the way 1t is
