To the day and the deed, strike the
harp strings of glory!
Let the song of the ransomed remem

And the tongue of the eloquent hal

Ger the bones of the bold
Be that story long told
And on fame's golden tablets their
triumphs enrolled,
Who on freedoms green hills freedoms

And the beacon-tire raised that gave

They are gone-mighty men!-and
they sleep in their fame;
Shall we ever forget them? o never!

What we need in this country is
fewer pianos and more stoves. With
good cook in every household, and
preferably not a hired one, the divorce
mills of the country might as well shut
up; they would have nothing more to
do. (All of us may not agree with DR..
Wiley there.) Domestic life would be
peaceful, happy and unbrolen. We
must get away from the idea that
cooking is drudgery. There is no
drudgery except in the mind. The man
who goes out and breaks stone evenly
that a lasting road can be built,
over which future generations may
pass with safety and comfort is not a
drudge; he is an artist The boy who
goes out in the field and plows a
straight and deep furrow in which
more corn will grow, is not a drudge;
he is an artist; and the girl who goes
into the kitchen and cooks meal that
is good, that tastes well, that is proper
ly balanced, and properly served, is no
drudge; she is an artist. The attitude
is the principal thing in this matter
She has before her her canvas; she is

GLIMPSE XI.
'rhere are two reasons why l am IN
terested in the convention In the
first place l am interested because OF
it's international character. Japan $
guiding policy has been peace with ali
nations of the world. Her mission hes
in bringing the East and the West INTO
mutual appreciation and concord. Inc
Jananese people desire cooperation
with the advancement of c1VlllZatlon'
AS the purpose of the worlds sunday
school convention is in harmony with
these aims and ideals of the japanese
nation, ! am interested in its success.
INV second reason is because of the
spiritual significance of the conVeh-
ton, for / know that the most I'M
portant thing in mans HE is ms re-
ligion. l want the young people OIL my
country to have strong rel1glous lalth'
whatever creed it may he. Since the
introduction of European and Amerl-
can science into Japan l fear we nave
over emphasized the intellectual sac Oh
education and have neglected It's moran
aspect. Because the Sunday schooi
convention will furnish our youths an
opportunity to revive faith and to KIN
die spiritual fires in their souls l nave
enlisted my support for it. l saw Mr..
wanamaker only twice, and yet we
onened our hearts and l feel we are
hound in the bond of affection.
