Few people realize how impor-
tant it is to have sunshine in the
house. We must have fresh air,
they say, and throw open the doors
But the suns rays must be kept
out. It will fade the carpet. So
they keep the shutters Shut and
the curtains down. What must
be the condition of room which
is kept dark? But it is just as true
of an individual that sunshine is
just as necessary to keep us in a
healthful state and capable of scat
lering smiles, as it is for a house
70 have both heat and light, in
order to make it healthtul.
Sunlight is a substance; so is the
sunlight of the soul. We need not
manufacture either. What the ma
tural sun is to the earth, the Lord
is to the soul. We need to open
he shutters by putting away every
selfish and worldly thought, we
need to let up the curtains that
separate us from the neighbor
welfare. We are created to be
diamonds, to reflect the light. But
if we absorb it by turning our af-
fections and thoughts wholly upor
self we become like charcoal.

| It was a Boston child, Of co., e
who said when somebody asked
her what she considered mothers
good for:
why, YOU see God couldn { be
everywhere, and so he just had to
make mothers. "
But it takes grace to be a good
mother---noW doesn't it? She must
be wise and patient and good natur-
ed and serene and always ready 10
comfort and help without losing
her selfcontrol. Prof Swing once
said he knew many mothers whose
children were we'll washed, well
scolded, we'll dressed, and well
whipped, but few whose children
were inspired and it certainly takes
grace 10 lead such a life before the
children that they shall be inspired.
If YOU have good, healthy child
rem, full of animal spirits and roll
licking with fun and life, be thank
full for it even if They do make more
noise some times tnan it seems
possible to bear, for the weak and
nervous child is tenfold more Of a
problem. There are two general
types of nervous children. The
active child always on The go, in
r''i>ilivc, and acquisitive, but deli
.ute as the mimosa leaf shrinking
back into itself as the first repulse
or harsh word, and the pale, quiet,
affective child, thoughtful, respon-
sive, reserved. The child Of the
hrsttype NAV be the embryo philan-
thrOpist or leader of criminals, in
ventor or social iconoclast, as his
training tends, while the child Of
the second type develope into the
philosopher, the poet, the man Of
letters, or the misanthrope, the re-
cluse, the anarchist, as the case
may be. One of the greatest mis-
takes in training a nervous child
is to think that strength can come
thru opposition. Such a child
should be guided, not driven. If
afraid of the dark, it should not
be forced to sleep in All unlighted
room. Timidity should not be
ridiculed, but patiently explained
and argued away.

Greece apparently demands that the allies insure her safety, rather than seeking allied concessions to expand her dominions constituted as the price of allegiance against the Central Pow CTS and Turkey.

 The Serbians position is grave, in the opinion of the British press.
