HOME AND HAPPINESS
Rural Parents Should Make the Farm Home
Attractive to the Children
Pitts6urg Christian AdvOcate

Riches do not, and cannot bring hap
piness. One of our -millionaires
lamented the fact that his palatial home
was but a servants boarding house.
This man, no doubt, felt almost as home
less as the wanderer, who had no place
to lay his head. Home in it's broad
sense, means more than place to live.
Home, even though it be but a bare
shed in the wilderness, is where hearts
beat in unison and willing hands are
every ready to minister. The children
should be taught strong home ties, by
making the home cheerful, and above
all else, place for rest, reading, recre-
alton and amusement. The boy of our
farm home is as much entitled to read
after his days work, as is the city boy
when he does his days work, in the
shop or factory. On many farms, how
ever, the boy is made to do so many odd
jobs and chores after his day 8 work in
the field is done that he has no time for
rest, reading or recreation. By the
time the wood is chopped, the feeding
and other chores attended to, it is bed
time, and his last waking thought is that
the same routine of working and sleep
ing will be repeated on the morrow.
Boys of the country should not be
robbed of the pleasures that rightfully
belong to youth. Only the other day
farmer was heard to remark, in speak
ing of his son: ''He is only sixteen
years old, but he does a mans work.
would hardly know what to do without
him." This man was speaking boast
fully about his son, and yet by his very
boastfulness he was advertising the fact
that he thought more of the value of the
work his son performed than he did of
his son. A boy Of sixteen should, of
course, be required to do some work,
but the work should be alternated with
periods of rest and amusement. A boy
of sixteen who is made to do a mans
work, will never make well-developed
man. The probabilities are that he will
be stunted either mentally or physically.
The only way to keep the boys and
girls on the farm is for the parents to
make the farm home as attractive as
possible. Make the home comfortable,
roomy and up-to-date, and the children
will have incentive to work, and find
pleasure in the invigorating activities of
a well-ordered, contented country home.

ART OF SELF-MASTERY
He Who Has Learned and Practices Self.
Control is Master, Not Slave
By DR.. Frank Crane

1t is bitter medicine, but the one
thing most needed in the human soul is
discipline. 1t is we'll to have force,
genius, vigor, enthusiasm, power; but
you may have them and be criminal, a
maniac, or cad; you become great only
when you add self-control. You may
attain to the true aristocracy of the
world. These are overcomers. These
are they who have passed through the
cleaning fire. These are they that rule
their own stormy passions, their own
mighty ambitions and boundless long
ing with will of tempered steel. And
these are the beloved. You know them
in every walk of life; you have met
them soldiers of light, the old guard
of the best things of humanity. How
then can learn the art of self-mastery
you ask? Here are few suggestions:
First, it comes only by practice. You
must learn it as you would learn to play
a violin. It is a matter of patience and
persistence. And surely, if you are
willing to exercise your muscles, you
ought to be willing to exercise to de-
velop your character, your power to en-
joy yourself and your ability to be
source of happiness to others. Don't
make resolution. Just begin doing it.
Whenever you have conviction, when
ever your reason points a certain thing
to do, do it at once. Then when you
see what you ought to do, do it cheer
fully. Don't pity yourself. Don't ad-
vertise your virtue. Don't wrestle,
fight, or pray. The essential element
of a strong personality is quiet power.
Those who fight are weak. Do what
you have to do, dismiss the matter and
60 ahead.
The first of all insurance policies. to
insure ones self the maximum of happi-
ness and efficiency, is to learn to make
ones self do what he knows he ought to
do, yet what he hates to do, and to learn
this smoothly, without a struggle Of
torture. Without that life is sure to be
bitter. The contented people are those
who have themselves in hand. The
qualification of desire is an endless
task. 1t is like attempting to fill the
bottomless pit with water from tin
cup. But the control of desire is sure
road to full and joyous life. The man
who has disciplined himself can be hap
py whether rich or poor.

injuring himself but he is striking peo-
pie who are wholly innocent in the mat
ter but yet who will have to suffer be-
cause of heedlessness. The blow may
fall upon a father or mother, it may
strike a sister, or close friends. 1t may
affect the school and the church and all
daily life. When we consider the enor-
nous power of kept or broken prom
Use as thus presented, 1 think we will
hesitate to bind ourselves to what in our
own heart we know we cannot keep.
Another thought as to promises is
this; when kept they increase the faith
of others in what is called loyalty, honor,
self-respect, trust of each other. The
world is always better by a promise
kept. There is nothing within reason
we could not do for a friend whose
word we always find to be as good as
gold. But the giver of promises to be
broken, weaken or destroys our belief
in others. A doubt of the worth of
good living is created. If one can lie why
not another? Suspicion takes the place
of faith and love and all life is made
darker. Promise when it is right to
promise, when thought has been given
to the nature of the obligation, and
keep the promise. Refuse to promise
when the way cannot be seen clear to
keep it.

The name of Alaska is said to have
been given to the whole of that territory
by the Russian traders who first reached
the island of Unlashka, on the authority
of the natives, who declared that to the
eastward there was great land or ter
ritory which was called Alayeska.
From this the present name of Alaska
is derived

see you through. You have as good a
chance as fellow needs; be strong and
very courageous and let thy heart cheer
thee. Hold steady to- day.
Another element necessary is that of
contentment. 1t is sometimes quite
task to be contented and make ones way
honestly and struggle against the bitter
hardships of experience when other
young men have it so easy, as is often
the case. Remember this, young friends,
those who cultivate spirit of self.re-
lance will be much more likely to stand
the test when the pressure is OH than
those who have never known anything
but ease and luxury. 1t is very much
more important that young man con-
tent himself to make progress slowly,
even though it is less enjoyable, than
that he should progress by some route
less honorable and not nearly so likely
to be permanent in the end.
l would, therefore, young men, that
you content yourselves to rise slowly
but surely. Let your bank account in
crease honestly rather than dishonesty.
l have read in the worlds greatest
book these words: Goodness with con-
tentment is great GAIN He who
practices these things need not fail in
life.

TO be able to summon courage
enough to acknowledge one own wrong
doing is to be possessed of qualities that
raise humanity to the plane of the angels.
The man who has this courage in the
highest degree cannot in the world be
singly counterpoised.'
