What the harvest shall be will de-
pend mainly on what we plant and
SOW.
The best sauce for any meat is
cheerfulness. Never grumble while
eating; laughter aids digestion.
Too little attention Is paid to the
small courtesies of the home Faith
ers, mothers, grandparents and chill
dren should remember that happi-
ness is derived from the little kindly
acts and words Of each member of a
family. One alone cannot make a
cheerful home IL the rest make no
effort.
happy family is within the reach
of every family If they only choose to
make 1t so. Interesting pictures
should adorn the walls of every
home; they are loop holes OF escape
to the soul, leading to other scenes:
they are books, histories and SER
mons that may be read without turn
ing leaves.
Heavens best gift Is hopeful
heart, which rises superior to eyery
adverse element and stems every op-
posing tide. One such spirit in a
family is blessing beyond estimate
and IL a whole family would give ont
all the sunshine 1t could generate by
continually striving to outshine every
other member there would be few
cloudy days in the year.
Smiles should be a part OF our
selves every day Of the week. Do you
know we esteem those persons our
best friends who greet us with a
smile and a kind word. A community
composed of individuals who look al
ways on the bright side of every
thing would, in our opinion, be an
ideal community. What we need in
this life is sunshine, and a great deal
of It,
When once home is regarded as
only place to eat, drink and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends i'm
gambling houses and reckless degra-
dation. Young people must have fun
and relaxation somewhere; IL they do
not find it at home they will seek il
at other and less profitable places.
Therefore. let the fire burn brightly
at night in winter and let the doors
be cheerfully thrown open in sum-
mer and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so well understand.
Ihere is not a man in our city.
however indifferent to the claims of
Christianity, who would want to rear
his family here if there were no
churches or church influence, for he
at once recognizes them as the guar
dams of the morals of the commun-
lty. What would be the condition OF
TINS community at the end of the
next year If from this time until then
WV 'huiC CHcS were closed? To what
extent would life and property be
SAFE? And yet, with all the organ
ICED agencies of the church, the devil
too frequently holds high carnival.
