w Good wife.

..She was a good wife to me good
wife. God bless her" These words
we're spoken in trembling accents over
coffin lid The woman asleep there
had borne the heat and burden of lifes
long day, and no one had ever heard
her murmur; her hand was quick to
reach out in helping grasp to those
who fen by the wayside, aud her feet
were swift on errands of mercy; the
heart of the husband had trusted her;
he had left her to long hours of soli-
tr,de. while he amused himself in
scenes in which she had no pleasure
nor part. Children had been born 10
than. She had reared them almost
.alone--they were gone! Her hand had
.rninistered to their wants. Then she
had comfortod him, and sent him out
strong and whole-heartful while she
stayed at home and-cried. What can
4 woman do but cry-and trust? Well
she is at rest now. But she could NOT
die until he had promised to hear up
and not TO fret, but to remember how
happy they had been. They? Yes, II
is even so. For she was blest in Civ
ing, and he in receiving. II was an
eanal partnership after all She was
n good wife to me-" Oh mani mani
why not have told her SO, when her
ears were not dulled by death?
The Bible tells US that we should
not Judge people, but very few of us act
on that population. II Is true that
sometimes for business or other pur-
poses, it is necessary to judge what we
can of mans character. But our
judgments are SO apt to be unjust or
wrong, and when they are repeated to
others, that is where the trouble comes
in. IL rarely happens that we are in
4 position to judge another's actions
fairly. Unless we live with them close
Iy and are acquainted with all the cur
rents of life that flow about them we
cannot know the outside influences
that are brought to bear on their &C
lions. Even then, we can only Judge
what our own reactions might hewitt
Drr type of mind our inherited traits
and all OF these things in each indiyi'
dual varies his reaction.
In forming our opinions of Others
we should try and take into accoun
the happenings of their past life. /
we think they are too gay or frivolous
perhaps they have never had re
eponsibility or worry to make then
otherwise; if they are too serious
minded, perhaps life has dealt then
many sorrows and disappointment
which 1t takes very long time to liv
down.
OF all human qualities it seems tina
understanding is the greatest TIL
ability to put yourself In another
