One can hardly pick up paper that
does not tell of some little child
burned or scalded to death.
The very thot is so horrifying we
try to forget it as soon as possible,
and then perhaps go on and take the
same sort of risks, whereas we should
learn a lesson never to be forgotten.
How many times in your life have
some of the family, and don't you be-
lieve you were really as much to
blame as tho the accident had really
happened?
Some man who is in a position to
know, says that more serious fires
are caused by starting with kerosene,
than in any other way.
Today is Saturday. Some mother
will fill a pail with boiling water, set
it on the floor and the baby will fall
into it. This evening, another mother,
in preparing the bath, will pour boil
ing water into a tub, while her back
is turned to get the cold water, the
child may fall into it. One takes a
risk, which should never be done.
The child is as initiative as little
monkey, it is the way it was intended
he should learn. Don't punish him
for it. Put danger and temptation out
of his way, and be sure he has work,
and play enough to keep him busy.
Put the matches in a tin box-high
up. Do not set the longhandled stew
pan near the edge of the stove. II
you use lamps, set them well back on
the table, a lantern is best and safest
for the children to carry upstairs and
down cellar.
All children delight in making a bon
fire We would not want to deprive
them of the pleasure, but the fire
should be surrounded by wire fence,
or viewed from the yard or window
Better encase it as suggested, then
they can throw fagots on without dan
ger, it will be a great pleasure.
Watch the papers and see if I'm
not right that some child will be
burned this Spring in bon fire. 1t
is with the hope that one less may be,
that these lines are written.
A number of letters are received
asking for our prayers, for those who
are sick, near unto death-some are.
One says. 81 was distressed for breath,
met conditions Jas. STA. and got re-
lief; can breathe better than for four
months. Thank the Lord. Am look
ing up for complete deliverance."
Surely our Mothers Meeting be-
lieves in the prayer of faith" to heel
the sick. and will surely heed these
calls.
The Scripture Miss Fell referred us
to was read in our meeting yesterday.
and all remembered in our prayers, by
the way, the one who writes of having
had distress in breathing. is the one
who sells the pretty silk book marks
we've told you Of She is crippled and
tries hard to pay her own board. She
says she has pretty Easter ones for 10
cents. Ii would be a great help to her
if some S. S. teacher for instance.
would order a dozen for her class.
Address Mrs. a. ]. Brown, go Mechan-
ic street, y. H.

ming and making articles for our Par

the oven. and burn them. Very handy

it

all your wood ashes for soap. Phone |
