Restow Praise Generously.

Let us not be niggardly with word
of praise or encouragement as far as
our own dear ones are concerned. The
world will offer them neither-in fact,
it cares absolutely nothing about them.
Therefore, if we hope to bring out
what is worth while in our children, or
if we would make them truly happy,
we must become their stanch allies.
Otherwise, we are playing losing
game and can only look for defeat.

Writing Without Punctuation.

Chinese do not need punctuation or
any other mark. 1t might be doubtful
from the foreign point of view wheth-
err language is possible that has done
away with punctuation. The fact is,
however, that punctuation is no longer
necessary for Chinese. The charac-
tiers, besides performing function Of
their own, take over that also of the
period, comma, hyphen, Interrogation,
exclamation mark, etc.

Cleanliness Next to eodIlness.

The phrase Cleanliness is next to
goodness" is found in John Wesley's
Sermon XCII on Dress. The language
of the aphorism, however, is taken
from the Beraitha, a translation of the
Mishna by Rafael M. de Sofa. Bacon
in one Of his essays says: "For clean
ness of body was ever esteemed to
proceed from due reverence to God,
to society and to ourselves."-Chris-
tian Herald.

Good Reason.

"When man hasn't good reason
for doing thing, he has one very
good reason for letting 1t alone" said
Sir Walter Scott. The deed without
good reason back of it is like a
house without foundation-it is not
wise in its beginning, or of much
value when completed.
