THE TASK WORTH WHILE.

There is no doubt OF the fact that everv
boy and girl ought TO have some sort of
tasks TO perform in their own home. If
they are permitted TO do nothing at home
while they see mother and father attend
ing to household tasks they naturally
acquire traits of selishneS and. laziness
In short they become spoiled. Ii ism
fair TO them, and il certainly is not fair to
the parents who have to work hard TO
make comfortable home for them.
On the other hand the mother who does
give her children tasks 10 perform should
take care that they are getting some sort
of training with these tasks. Perhaps the
best of all q ualities they can acquire in this
way is the quality of responsibility. If
you give certain child certain task and
hold him to that task, then he is learning
responsibility. II, on the contrary, yeu
simply order your children 70 do first this
and then that, if they have no idea from
day TO day just what sort of things they
will be asked to do, then they are not
acquiring responsibility.
In the suburban or country home where
chickens are kept it is a good plan to
have certain children given the task of
feeding the chickens. And it is a good idea
to give them to understand that they will
be reminded every time that the chicken
needs to be fed. They must assume the
responsibility. Now If children are nagged
they never seem TO take responsibility.
Moreover if, having given them one task
which IS to be theirs, you put other adj
ditional tasks on them, they are less likely
to assume the responsibility of the task
that has been given them. IN neglecting
the chickens they should be made to
understand that they are actually causing
suffering for the chickens and loss to YOU.
So with any task. They can easily be
shown the results of their own neglect
Then besides making the childrens
tasks teach them responsibility YOU can
select for their work instructive and in
teresting things for them to do If there
are several children their tasks may be
changed so that each child can have an
opportunity to learn how TO do the several
things well. But don't forget that chill
dren, like adults, work better when they
are given something definite to do

breeches. Some of them beat themselves
and Others beat those who walk in front
of them. The whip is a huge, fiat, two
handed affair made by plating strands of
the amole weed or Spanish bayonet. The
blows resound like the noise made by
slapping man with a wet towel, for each
of the whips is wet with blood.
The procession slowly takes its way to a
high and lonely hilltop, wher the hon
ored one who hasSeen elected to act the
part of Christ is fastened upon the cross.
Formerly he was nailed, and often he
died Now be is generally fastened with
ropes, which is bad enough, since he often
turns purple from arrested circulation of
the blood.
Thus does the penitente, in the medieval
simplicity Of his faith, express his belief
in the potency of Christs sacrifice If
Jesus bled to atone for the sins of men,
why should not the penitente bleed for
his own sins?
