CHILDHOOD

AS ] tried on last week to give you
an outline the best could on baby
hood, this issue l will try the best l
can, God being my helper, to say some
thing that will help some one, that will
inpsire the heart of some father or
mother to make an extra effort to i'm
press into the heart and mind of their
children while their hearts are young
and tender the true principals that
constitute the makeup of all true
christian men and women.
What is childhood?
1t is life leaning on mothers knee or
playing around the mothers chair.
The sacred ties thus formed reach
from home to heaven. The happy
hours of childhood store away in the
secret chambers of the soul sacred
sunshine which brightens life's dark
est days even down to its last setting
sun. The Importance of these early
impressions are not easily over esti-
mated, for the silvery mists may melt
away before the early morning sun
shine, but memories misty pages of
the past will linger in the lap of life
of age till the golden sun of life's
longest day sinks in silence behind the
crimson glories of its western horizon.
ceptible to all kinds of impressions.
They are easily drawn toward the true
and the good and just as readily yield
to the false and the foul. If we would
make them wiser and better, we must
adapt our discipline to their DISPOSE
lions and desires as much as the cir
cumstances will allow. We may lead
the little fellows on gently, step by
step, with the tender, patient hand of
hope until they stand firmly upon the
rock of self confidence, ready to defy
successfully the stand of life and the
tempest of time; but we can never
drive them to the shelter of our Rock
of Refuge. They must seek this shell
ter of their own choice without any
coercion upon our part. The law of
love is the greatest and grandest love
of life. Peace is love in repose. Hope
is love in anticipation. Faith is love
in confidence. Joy is love in exulta-
ton. Goodness is love handed down
to others. Brotherly kindness is love
passed around to all. And charity is
love scattered everywhere by liberal
hand and a loving heart. Most chill
dren are easily won. Their young and
tender lives are rich with possibilities
and should be cultured carefully. The
management and training of children
is matter of paramount Importance.
1t is quite as essential for parents
to know when to withhold as when to
bestOw favors upon their children.
Filial obedience should be taught to
our children at a very early age. In
fact, the idea of resisting parental au-
thority should never be allowed to APP
peal from the decision of one to the
judgment of the other. AS | have
1.aiSod SiY nbiIdron IF NV own, T f1,iplr

dren like to have you place confidence
in them. Don't you remember when
you were a child? Trust them and
you will find them among the last to
betray your trust or forfeit your con-
fidence.

her now as she walks the streets of

day be united family in heaven.
She was laid to rest in the presence

tives and friends.
Oh. how dear Annie Laurie
Will be missed in the home,
How her dear parents mourn
But it is in vain.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts that ever Iinger,
Around the grave where she is laid

"There ought to be no cessation or
relaxation of our sympathetic Ameri-

stricken people. One can well believe
that they will not survive if we with
draw the relief which has heretofore
been so generous from the private

that all we have done has borne dfvi-

we have done an humane thing for a

In Memory

On the cold, dark evening of March
II, 1921 the death angel entered the
home of Joe Grisham and touched with
its cold, icy fingers the heart of his
beloved son, Fred, and bore him home
to live with Jesus and darling angel
mother, who went to walk the streets
of gold some seven years ago Fred
was about 26 years of age. He an
swered the call of his country but as
his health gave down he was forced to
come home. He was afflicted with that
dreadful disease, tuberculosis. He
bore his sufferings with a smile. Fred
was kind boy, always ready to lend
a helping hand to those in need We
cannot understand why one just in
the bloom of life should be called but
that blessed book tells US that we shall
understand some day. He leaves a
brOken-hearted father, brothers and
one sister besides host of friends to
mourn his going away. / would say
to his loved ones that there is only
one way to go in this dark hour of
sorrow and God help you to realize
that there is only this one way to see
dear Fred again and that is to live
for God as he did Fred, we all miss
you so much but we know that the
Lord doeth all things well and we ex-
pect to see you again some day. Oh,
could he come back to see US again
once more we would wait patiently on

F'lattery is an insult, for it assumes
that the one to whom it is addressed is
an asa natural born darn fool No
man of sense can stand f1at-footed and
absorb fiattery by the scoopful without
a feeling of nausea. If there are a
number of persons present he feels
constrained to endure the ordeal rath-
er than violate good manners, and try
to endure it with grace But if the
third person is not present he may
appropriately suggest to the fatterer
to go to what the Kaiser raised in
Europe, or what busted loose in Geor-
gia. When a man can listen to fiattery
and swallow it in great gaubs and not
feel like an ass, nor itch to commit
homicide, he has reached the end, and
IS an ass.
Midst the binding tears we are
shedding over the poverty stricken
conditions of Germany we might pause
to note that the e3l-Kaiser is paying a
tax on annual income of $500, 900, .
which he laid up for a reignless day.
Germany thinks she can't pay the in
demnity She also thought she could
not be licked. The only financial par
alysis she is suffering from now is in

pared to massage.
