I'll sing thee a song of an emergency home
 That stood down at the foot of hill, Where the doors opened wide, at the flood of the tide, For the many to enter were i'll. They Eave of their stores, rare, beau tiful flowers. To cheer the lonely and sad, And the prayers Of the faithful went up to God For those who had made them glad. And in that day. when all are called. To render unto Him Account of deeds done Tn His Name" These shall be welcomed in.

HELP MOTHER.

We have lately been devising all
kinds of plans to help this class and
that class. The government has or
gsnized bureau for furnishing help
for the farmer. 1t has strained its
publicity department in rounding up
help for the great ship-building plants.
We have gone into the highways and
by-ways in search of labor for the
war-industries plants, and have ex-
tended helping hand to this industry
and that. In fact, we have been busy
playing the good Samaritan until we
have developed a perfect mania for
useful service.
But with it all We have strangely
overlooked the one most deserving Of
help-and the one who most needs our
help-the patient, accomplishing house
wife.
Who's going to help Mother?
Mother used to have help. Hereto
fore father, son, daughter and the hired
man and woman could be called on for
various acts of usefulness about the
house. Father had some spare time
before breakfast that he could turn
10 mothers account. Son was rarely
too busy to run her errands. Daughter
spent the greater part of her time in
Mothers company and was her good
right hand. The hired man could find
time for useful bits of service while
the girl help was always at hand.
Now all that is changed.

ABOUT WEEDS.


A common illustration familiar to
eli men, refers to the man who causes
"two blades of grass to grow where
one previously grew" as benefactor
to the race. This truth applies to
thousands of things which benefit the
human race. The illustration is mere
" used to stress the fact that the man
has added to the sum of the comforts
or pleasures of mankind.
Progressive spirits that by their
labors and research advance the raox
and add to the fruitfulness of Mother
Earth, deserve all the praise given
them.
fs~But there are yet other benefactors
cf mankind to whom much credit is
due, but whom we frequently overlook.
What about the man who causes
enc weed to grow where two formerly
grew? and we use this, too, merely in
the sense of an illustration.
Did you ever pause to consider that
this old world has an abundance of re-
sources? Ever realize that if the
weed life were eradicated, this would
be paradise? Can you appreciate the
fact that if all the evil was eliminated,
there would be nothing but good left?
Let's begin at home and start to
wedding out the noxious growths.
Let's get the soil of our farm as clear
Of vicious and useless growth as we
can possibly make it. Let this 60 on
until the land literally blossoms with
fruitfulness.
Then let's begin on mankind. While
we are developing the human brain
and skill until it seems there is no
limit to its possibilities, let us search
and see, there are not many habits
and traits of character that can be lop-
ped off with great benefit to the indi-
vidual and the race.
What about the weed of selfshness
This is growth that dwarfs and
stunts the soul possibly more than all
others. Who has not seen the man,
full of personal faults and failings,
hut whom his neighbors idolize because
he is big-hearted and generous? None
deny his failings, but this overshad-
ows all else. Beside him the little,
narrow, selfish nature, whatever its
other virtues may be, assumes the pro-
portions of dwarf.
Then there is the matter Of chairta-
bieness. Who does not know the man
of harsh judgment? Perhaps he has
ell the negative virtues and many of |
the positive ones, too. His personal
life may be faultless. But his harsh
judgments of his neighbors obscure all |
these, and whreas his virtues should
inspire respect and love, in reality they
inspire hatred and contempt. Contrast
him with the faulty, though charita-
bic man, and he, too, suffers.
We nigh go on ad infnitum, but
it is not needed. Suffice it that there
are many weeds in the human charac-
ter that could be plucked out with
benefit to the man and his fellows.
Root out the weeds-then the grass
win grow. !
