What would this old world be like

1t is difficult to imagine a state Of
society where the absolute and unvar-

the lips Of every one. George Bernard
Shaw can imagine it and can write
about it-but the results of such a uni
versal attitude of mind are too far
reaching to calculate.
Every remark that we make has
greater effect than we can ever know.
To use metaphor that is by no means
original, it is like small pebble flung
into a wide sea. The ripples it causes
go on eternally.
And SO it behooves us to be kindly
in our ways and careful of the feelings
of others. There is no merit in a rude
and unnecessary bluntness. Upon the
contrary, we should assume a kindly
feeling if we have it not. The insin-
cerity is well meant and if practiced
faithfully will cease to be an insinceri

genuine and very true.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks

Once upon a time there was little
orphan girl named Bebe. She lived
with a man named Joel and his wife.
whose name was Betsy, and they kept
a tavern. .
Joel and Betsy made Bebe work
very hard and they did not give her
enough to eat.
One night an old man came to the
tavern and asked for supper and be-
cause he was dressed poorly Betsy
sent Bebe to serve him.
Make him pay first" she told Bebe,
land then give him the scraps left
from the table; they are good enough
! for him."
Bebe felt sorry for the old man. but
she did not dare disobey Betsy, and
she told the old man that her mistress
babe her ask for the money for his
supper before she served him.
Your mistress shall have her pay"
said the old man, land here is gold
for you"
Betsy saw all this, and when Bebe
handed her the money for the food
she took Bebe's gold piece also.
The tears came into Bebe's eyes,
but she did not dare complain. She
went to the pantry for the old mans
supper, putting the bits of bread and
meat on a plate, then she brewed him
a fresh cup of tea, although she knew
that Betsy would punish her if she
found 1t out.
When she placed them before the
old man he thanked her and told her
not to cry about losing the gold, that
she should have more.
When the old man finished he
thanked Bebe again and gave her q
little silver key. II am giving you
this" he said, Tin place of gold. but II

front OF the door and use the key ii

There is such thing as well-meant
insincerity, and 1t goes under many
widely varying names. The social
climber, the woman who yearns to be
beloved of mankind, the woman who
wishes to say the pleasant thing, and
the woman who is easy going and
only wants a peaceful. don't worry"
life are always dreadfully insincere,
but at the same time their insincerity
does others very little harm, and
themselves, in their own opinion, at
least, quite a lot Of good.
For instance, take the case Of Mrs.
Jones, the butchers wife. Mrs. Jones
has a warriors heart, and, despite
the fact that there is nothing roman
tic about the business of her lord and
master. yet has a soul cut above
such mundane things as pork and NUT
ton and the Saturday night joint. She
is a social climber and nothing will
stop her from soaring in the social
armament.
So she makes heroic efforts to get
into circles more "select" than those
in which she and the plain Mr. Jones
have hitherto moved She tells him
to keep quiet about his business, and
when at the church meeting Mrs.
Brown, the doctors wife asks her
point-blank what the business of good
Mr.. Jones is, she doesn't speak up and
| say he is butcher-no, indeed! She
says he is interested in house property
and that he has quite good business
in that line-all of which, though hav
ing the proverbial grain of truth there
in, inasmuch as Mr.. Jones once owned
a small and rickety cottage by the sea
in years gone by, yet deceives the doc
tors prim lady entirely and is the
means of buoying her up sufficiently
| to ask Mrs. Jones to a small party al
her select home.

nelds, to gather up the babies of her
fallen sisters and mother them in new
homes; to stand by and comfort those
wrecked and ruined in mind as well
as in body, to gather in the Magda
lenes from the cruel world that has
robbed them and cast them out to be
trampled to dust as SO much rubbish.
For 1000 years woman has needed
I this call and has never failed to spend
herself for the Master in the service
OF mankind. In doing all this Chris
| tianity has never unsexed woman, but
has developed all her womanly quail
ficatons and virtues to the highest
degree"
DR.. Coffee told how modern social
and industrial conditions act as a
handicap against woman.
And now comes modern paganism
in the name of socialism and other
equally destructive 'isms,' and cries
out that woman must be emancipated.
Indeed, to some extent, emancipation
of woman is needed in our times. So
cial and industrial conditions have
forced woman out of the home and
exposed her to all the temptations
that have been for centuries the bane
of mans life. She is bread-winnei
now, and her avocation calls her into
| the shop and the factory, onto the
street, and amidst the turmoil of life
Seclusion is hers no longer.
Suffers More Than Man.
Weaker than man, she must suffer
more than he suffers; more delicately
constructed than man, the hardships
of life will SKATER her spirit more
quickly, and naturally she will be driv
en- to do desperate and unwomanly
things to remedy her misfortune
Here we have the origin of many mod
ern movements to emancipate woman
| But all these must fall If not guided
and directed by Christianity.
"The religion that gave her freedom
and nobility and equality in the begin
ming must now return it to her. or i
will never be given back.
But the church says that in tn,
| conflict woman must lose nothing o
that which has given her power owe
mankind. Man will honor her ant
serve her and work for her every In
terest only as long as she maintain
all her womanly virtues unsullied
She will be chaste and good only a.
she accepts and lives up to the teach

and blinds them?"
Father Coffee then pointed out what
a benefit Christianity had been to wo-
man and how she should do her duty
by It.
Christianity has done for woman
what no other influence in the world
has accomplished. 1t has established
her firmly in the home, raised her to
the highest pedestals in her SANITARY.
and called forth from her all that Is
true and noble and glorious in her
mental, moral and social qualifications
Subject to her husband, yes, but as
