THE HEART OF HOPE

When the sweet bud of hope blossoms in the human heart life becomes reSpendent with the very joy of living This bud of hope is beautiful promise of the future. It fOretelS in subtle and Scntilatng way Of the coming of pristine future. It confidently nsts with the assurance that our ambitions will soon be realized
 Doubt is the depressing agency that cushes souls and kills our hearts.
 The man who is welded to doubt will always find in the end that his days have been wasted
 There are mestOnes in our lives. We must pass them year by year until hair becomes tinged with gray In our early days of hope should cling to that hacyOn memory of the past and try in moments of doubt to reknde the sumbering memories.
 This is funny old world living in, but at the same time practical world of real men and women.
 It Is world where some souls can be found hidden in dark and sheltered places; it world where the shine of love warns the atmOsphere it is world where the cold tears of cruelty fall faterngy upon the respon Sve earth it world that affords every his chance that gives every woman her opportunity
 This is the sort of world we live in. We have our chance five fail it is fault You are not your broth CTS keeper and neither your brother responsible for your shortcomings.
 When he crosses the threshold of life the future of every rests in his hands If he is disposed to scatter his chances to the four winds of heaven no one stop him. In the veacuar of the streets Tt is up to him. Let him do as he likes but he must remember he is personally responsible in the failure of life.

DON'T BLAME THE CHILDREN

The practice going on in many of the states or forcing reluctant children to salute the flag sing Amerl- can patriotic songs and perOm other similar functions ob- noxiouS to themselves and in direct violation Of their par cns demands does not strike as just the way Solomon would have handled delicate and unfortunate situation
 If needs be such dislOyal parents could be adequately handled if their words or deeds constitute public men, ace but to subject children what they look upon as per secution involving personal stutfication is degree of brutality which would pass for actual crime were 1t not in measure cOndoned at least explained by the ire sponsble stupidity of the school authorities who permit such practices
 If the purpose be to make those children loyal Amerl- can citizens when they grow up then the worst magn- able procedure is to mpant in their mpresSionabe minds the bitter resentment any normal child would feel towards that which had caused him personal humiliation and unnecessary shame.
 If it be the unthnkable purpose to punish innocent children for refecng the dsOyaty of their parents then language would not be eXtravagant, but merely made qate to express the contempt due those guilty of such n fanny.
 And then, aside from the denoraizing effect upon the little victims themselves is impossible to imagine rational parent wishing his child to witness the hu initiation of another child Whatever it's effect might be, ndubtaby it would not promote patriotism humanity, kndlineSS decency or Self-reSpect.

MARITAL PARTNERSHIP

In day of hasy dvorces, when minds are turning to seek ways in which married couples may live happily credit due to Mr. and Mrs Charles Bodne of Phadel pha, who have been married sixtyfour years The fact that they have lived together that long is interesting in itself but their chief claim to public notice is in their statement that they have quareled or even ex- changed cross word,
 The wife ascribes her happiness to these causes:
 Because think there is no one like father
 Because am always willing to humor his little ways
 Because will do anything in the world to please him.
 Because have always given him plenty of good food.
 Because have always praised him when he deserved it."
 The husbands viewpoint of the marital partnership and the reasons which he finds for the unmarred felicity
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-05-02

of himself and his wife are contained in the following:
 Because think my wife is the finest woman in the world.
 Because never have vacation unless she goes too.
 Because have always been ready to listen to what she has to say.
 Because never have wanted anybody else but moth CT"
 The fact that this couple continued courtshp after marriage and each contributed to the union love- respect and willingness to make sacrifices each for the other in the little as well as the big things Most marital unhap piness is based on selfishness.-( (Exchange)
