DEPENDENT WOMEN.

NV own little daughter went TO
heaven sixty years ago and l have seen
so many women since that time who are
misery to themselves and to all about
them because they are incapable as
wives and mothers and inefficient as
housekeepers that L say to myself very
often maybe my only little girl was
taken from evil to come. She might
have grown into a-yain, frivolous girl
and become an incapable mother and an
inefficient 'home-maker, a misery to her
self and all about her. Of course, it
would be hard to convince my mother
heart that she was bent that way, be-
cause she was. only a wee tot, full of
vfyacity and beauty when she went
away, but 1 recognize the fact that
she might have been what other girls
have been, namely, a great disappoint-
ment, if no worse had happened. L can
call to mind some girls who had the
fairest of prospects at the start and
who turned out to be very disappoint-
ing persons in their later days. AS
rule, with but few exceptions, girl
without energy and selfish in her ex-
pectations and dependent in her dispo-
sition, becomes a very uncomfortable
person to have around. They will like
ly marry, as the most of men like to
mate with helpless, pretty, love-slck
girls, because they imagine that they
will be easy to please, and, let the truth
be spoken easy to govern! Neverthe-
less the immense majority of such de-
pendent young creatures are painfully
intent on having their own way, in
Sinking duties and piling up COM
plants, and finally end in being duly
miserable and disconnected at home and
abroad.
Some aged, smart women, through
misfortune and maybe Ill health, are
forced into pecuniary dependence and
consequent unhappiness. Such women
are truly to be pitied. 1 know of moth
ing sadder in life than an aged mother,
dependent on ungrateful children in her
closing days of life's pilgrimage. Death
would be a friend to all such when
they become unwelcome and a burden
to those to whom she gave life and
who were given the best her mental and
physical strength afforded in infancy
and childhood. And there are many
such in the world.
1t is not of these 1 write you at this
time 1t is the class that begin to
dawdle in youth and continued to
dawdle throughout all their days, al

clean every whit" In preparing for the feast
the Jew cleanses his body, but his feet were
soiled in coming from the bath house to the
room. 1t was this defilement OF the ROAD
which was necessary to remove TO make MIN
every whit clean. But that Jesus meant more
than the physical cleansing was shown by HIS
last statement which referred TO Judas, Tor
while Judas had been physically cleansed, ms
heart was full of foul sin, hatred, and murder
treachery. dishonesty and selfiShness.
We VINO are disciples of Christ, VINO nave
accented Him as our Lord, have been bathcd
Cnce for all when He entered into the hottest
TO; us with His own blood, ana We have Deen
cIeansed from the guilt Of sin; but every day
we need cleansing from its defilement, every
hour every moment. If we are to have lei
lowship with Him, must be cleansed from
this defilement day by day, hour by hour, mo
rIent Inv moment for unconfessed and unfor-
given sin separates US from God. No matter
how foul we are when we come to Him. "heh
We sit down with Him we must be clean.
The effect Of the action of Jesus changed
these men In five minutes. No longer were
they the proud, selfish, qusrrelsome' and Dit
ter men, but they were self-forgettuL Ip L
to say to them, and it all was because he
loved them so much that He was willing to put
OF, the slaves apron for them. He loves US
lust as much. He is willing to do the same
thing for us, to put on the slaves apron for
us in order that we might be made fit TO
have fellowship with Him.
OUR EXAMPLE.
After He had washed their feet and taken
His garments and sat down again, He told
them that they were right TO call Him Lord
and Master and that they would be right TO
follow Him in His example. He leaving
them. He had loved them. He still loved
them. When He left them. the thing that
they should do to bind them together, that
would make them strongest, would be their
love for one another. Instead of quarreling as
to who should be greatest amongst them, each
one should feel that service would be too
ruenial for anyone of them 70 do for the other
one.
Let us realize that BE has given US an eX-
ample that we should do He has done We
know, by His indwelling Spirit, something Of
that love which loves to the uttermoN, which
shows itself in service. Shall We not seek TO
be great by serving much? Not for the great
ness. but for the Joy which We have in the
service.
Possibly there are some Judases or some OBJ
stinate, proud Peters from whom. naturally,
we would turn away, but because of the grace
Of our Lord Jesus, will not turn away
from them, but seek To win them by love even
as He did. Then shall have fellowship with
Him which is fully compromising.

WHAT WE MUST HAvE-wITH THE
ARMY

ARMY.
To equip an army of a million men
we must have it divided into SO tactical
divisions. 2S. 900 to a division. 1t will
require 10000 animals--horses and
mules. At Ieast 1000 wagons for each
division. We must have presumably SO
division camps. equipped with whatever
element ever seen in an army.
These $4,000 divisions with men and
animals will require an immense water
supply, equal at least to city contain
ing $4,000 popula ton.
They will need mountains upon noun
ia ms of sacked oats and baled hay for
these 10000 animals Medical supplies
never estimated in our past experience.
This army of 100000 will need i'm
mense preparation for service.
The feeding of this army Will tax
these United States of America. The
tents must be superior tents, because
they will be needed in all sorts OF
weather-hot and cold.
The risks will be great, and dangers
will be many-risks from climate, upon
the health of the men-and the animals
must be given the best care to bear
the strain.
Do our people consider the problem
that is before US? And we are up
against that this world has ever seen.
Is this really the war of Arranged

A THOUGHT FOR THE WAR TIME.

why mourn for the hours that have
vanished?
why grieve for the things that are
lost?
WHY weep for the flowers in summer
That lie meath cold winters frost?
Can we make time stand still or turn
backward,
Or revive the dead rose to the lea?.
We might as we'll try and go searching
For a pearl that is lost in the sea.

happily away. Does he care to re-
peat the experiment? Ask him.

able to himself and family led M. A..
Clapper to construct an eight-foot
board fence between his house and
that of K. A. Holford this week. Mr..
Clapper cut down the fence at the
front so as not to cut off the view Of
town from the front part of the Hol-

his woodshed to the edge of the lot
and extended the fence to the west
SO as to cut of view or intercourse

Clapper stated that he resorted to the
fence only as a last resort for relief
from conditions that had become intol-

matter, but as the fence is set 10
inches from the dividing line of the

That great deal of interest was

due to the fact that no local trustee

HOW SCHOOL ACTIVITIES PRE-
PARE FOR BUSINESS.
(By Marie Myers.)

by Marie MycIS.)
AS the days are slipping past and
June is fast approaching, the June
which to us will ever be different
than any other June, since it marks
our commencement in shouldering
life's responsibilities, we involuntar-
lily look back upon the four years
Just closing and ask ourselves, How
have our school activities prepared
us for our life work." What have
we learned about cooperation by the
intimate companionship of the stu
dent body?"
We come to find that the knowledge
and experience we have has not all
been derived from books; some came
from the social side of the school;
some from companionship, and some
from being active members OF an ac-
tive system. BY planning every
