one burned was considerable,
The Smith & Davis Hardware Co.,
occupying the one story brick on the

considerable damage to their stock by
the wall falling on the roof and crush
ing through to the floor.
There was $4,000. insurance on the
three buildings, all owned by Mr.. Sloan:

dollars worth of turned columns in

business district since waterworks
were installed.

THE CHILn-AT HOWE


"And the child grew and became
strong in spirit"
This refers to John the Baptist.\ II
we were to study the history of John
the Baptist's father and mother and
their home, we would say he was a
fortunate child When this little ba-
by boy was horn into the home OF
ZachaTiah and Elizabeth, they consid-
cred him as q real gift from God In
this home where father and mother
had prayed 50 much FOR little child,
even though they were getting old in
age, when he came he received a low
ing welcome
Literally speaking, John the Baptist
came of good family for his father
was a priest and his mother was de-.
scended firm Aaron They. were both
righteous people who lived blameless
lives, guiding their steps by all the
commandments and ordinances of the
Lord. With the high ideals of jew
ish home life Zachariah's most sacred
duty was the training of his child in
the religion of his people And the
loving mother taught her little son to
know and to love God, to pray to him
and to know the scriptures. In such
a home, with loving, earnest, righteous
parents is 1t any wonder that John
grew to manhood with hatred of sin.
a passion for righteousness, and a
feeling that he had definite mission
to his generation.
Now let us come to our own chill
dren.
To-day we are coming to realize
more and more that all social andre
ligious questions revolve about the
child. We must recognize the right
of child 1st, to be well born and to
be born well; End, to have proper
nourishment and normal and healthy
environments; 3rd, to have proper and
suitable training for his physical, men,
tai, social, moral and spiritual develop
ment.

Besprinkled with multi-colored fow-

The primrose peeps with crimson

And violets bloom in purple light.
Old earth is dimpling with Joyous
Spring, you impart a most wonder

THE ADOLESCENT GIRL

One of the most serious problems
the world has to encounter TO-DAY is
what is best for the adolescent girl, in
the homes of the poor as well as those
in better circumstances. 1t seems
whes they get to certain age they
when they get to a. certain age they
they hardly know how or what TO DO
All mothers should first gain the conf
dence of their daughters, have har feel
that her mother is interested in her
and her welfare. She ought to 20 TO
her mother for advice, not hestating,
knowing that mother is her best
friend.
Confidence and love goes a long
way toward making a girl pure and
sweet and obedient 1t isn't every ore
that has a comfortable home and the
necessaries of life, let alone the lux
uries. Our hearts go out in sympathy
for the working girls If we can ex-
tend TO them friendly hand, wCld
of encouragement, ut helps to III the
burden and make them know you are
interested in them,
The social worker can help to
bring daughter and mother closer to-
eether- the friendly visitor by her So
cial and religious life can help solve
the problem and multitudes of girls
are touched by good religious influence
We should instill into our children TO
always seek the best company, but
yet be kind and obliging to all with
whom they come in contact.
We ought to try to make home
pleasant place for our children, Let
them play games, invite their friends
and playmates. give them 2 room for
their own, fix it up coy so they can
be at liberty TO use it, put their things
in it where they want them yet teach
them to keep things in order We
have been adolescent and were always
glad 10 know we had someone inter
ested in US, A kind word, word OF
encouragement always helps Let's
make it a point to try to do more along
this line.

Home training effects most in
timately and vitality the existence
and progress of the race FOR most
children are in the home till .he 18th
year.
/ think the home influe2c., in the
training Of the child is clear beyond
all Others pu ttogetGer for what Is
done in The hcn.e goes deep in and
stays to the end Nothing can take
the place of proper home training
because the school or other institu-
tions cannot affect the child so early
as the home
The most serious problem in our
country today is the failure and
breaking down of home life. Par
ents neglect the child's moral and
religious training and know moth
ing OF his companions. Dicipline is
lost art, and respect for paretns
forgotten secret. The way to train a
child is to train y,urself. What you
are your child viii | be. Your child
will never obey better than you do.
The spirit of disobedience in your
heart to God, of failure to obey, of pre-
ferring your own way to Gods, will be
breathed in by your child as surely
as he breathes the air into his lungs.
Every child is likeness of mother,
father and home We must be In
the heart what we would have the
child to be in life. By all odds the
chief thing is the home training is the
spirit Of the lone.
Sometimes parents are to blame, tu1

downfall of many boys and girls.

THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD STOR.
les IN MOLDING CHARACTER


By the teaching profession the story
recognized as one of the greatest
assets for all grades of work. The
key to successful teaching lies in in
terest, without it the mind, not even
of an adult can be caused to take hold
of fact so firmly that it will come
to the surface of consciousness at the
time it is needed and suggesed by
something having a resemblance to it.
truth contained in an interesting
story may not be apparent to the child
but because of his interest in the
story will be retained in memory
brought to CONSCIOUSNESS by the sug-
gestion of something similar in later
life when the individual has reached
a state of maturity sufficient to ap-
preciate its moral truth.
This inevitable principle makes it
very necessary to lay particular
stress on the word good" in select
ing the story for child. The bad
story or the one whose moral is
questionable or wose incidents are
suggestive of evil, may result in
great harm to the child in after years.
For it is not so much the acts of
our lives that count for eternity bur
the thoughts, many of which never
materialize into real action
What are good stories The answer
Is, only those that contain an inter
est for the child and can only produce
good on his life as a child or in after
years as a grown up. 1t goes with
out saying that many Bible stories
are good for children and can be used
as criterion by which to Judge the
merit of story. It is the universal
testimony of those who are familiar
with Bible stories that they remenp
| n best those stories that were
learned as a child.
And this brings me to what regard
as the real value of stories to child
rem Children remember much better
than older people Older peoples
reasosing faculties far surpass those
of children. The child whose nina
is stored with many good stories win
have an abundance of material for re-
Election in after years Happy is the
person who can find entertainment
by looking into the reeesses of his
mind
Then there are historical stories
that are good for the child because
they serve to familarize the child
with historical facts before they are
able to appreciate their historical
significance. Then when flooded
with the busy. cares O2 iIe imc cam
be found f6r reelection that could not
be devoted to research and study

WoMANs' MISSIONARY SOCIETY

Mrs. ]. M. Dowell entertained the
Woman's Missionary Society on Mon
day afternoon. Several members re
sponded to roll call and one new mem
Der was added to the roll
The meeting was opened with a
song-'1 Need Thee Every Hour. y

Reports Of Committees were heard
and some business matter discussed,
it being decided that the society re-

While still few in number, yet we
are thankful to say that we greatly re-
joice in the fact that it is our privi-
lege to be co-laborers with Christ, even
in a small way, in the upbuilding OF
His Kingdom.
The study on "The Adolescent at
Home" was the topic of discussion,
and it certainly inspired us to be more
patient with our Young people, to have
more loving sympathy for them and to
enter more into their joys and sor-
rows. Let us give more thought in
making our homes, and all homes We
touch, more wholesome places for their
development
This study also makes us feel kim
ship with the mothers beyond the
seas, wlp have never known the bles-
sedness THAT we know and whom We
can reach only through our prayers
and our missionaries. And again, we
also feel holy kinship with the moth
erhood of youth in our own comfnuni-
ties. Let us ever teach our youth pur-
ity, courage and virtue.
Below we give two excellent papers
read at this meeting: "The Child at
Home" by Mrs. Massa, and "The ADO
lescent Girl" by Mrs. Gibbs.
