A TRIBUTE TO AUNT MARY.

Dear Editor and Sisters: So many have
expressed their esteem and kindly senti-
ments to the memory of our late sister,
Aunt Mary. that would also like to add
few words 1t was my pleasure to have
pet her on two occasions, the first time
on the trolley car as we were leaving
Willimantie going to Coventry lake for
our annual picnic. I sat beside her all
the way and enjoyed her friendly CONVEX
sation very much. More than year later
was privileged to meet her. again at the
club meeting held at Buckingham. Memo
rial in Norwich also to occupy the seat
next to her at the dinner table.
Aunt Mary appealed to me az the type
Of a sincere Christian character. I adj
mired the influence which she endeavored
to promote at those social gatherings
also through the efforts of her pen.
am glad to have known her personally
even SO limited, and 1 regarded her al
one worthy of the many kind attentions
she received from the family of Corner
sisters. And to her it was pleasing 4
the eventide of her life.
As Aunt Mary's daughter has express
ed that her mother enjoyed the cards ant
letters from all those who kindly remem
bered her during her last illness, it Seems
| to me such q satisfaction that she real
lied with grateful appreciation to he
eleventh hour. 1t means much to US al
to fulfill our duty, while it is yet day
either to those whom the tie Of friendship
or association has connected US as /wel
as the kindred circle.
My personal sympathy is extended t
Aunt Mary's daughter, for I, too, hav
realised the loss Of mother, and L woul
say to her, as it may be consolation t
her as it was to me, II am glad | wa
privileged to have my mother with m
during those younger years of my lif
when needed her the most" We sha
miss Aunt Mary's cheerful letters fror
The Corner page but we shall ever thin
Iof her with kind remembrance.

girl criminal they look for the cause of
their delinquency in home surroundings
or lack Of right training and habits in
tho home. -
Why not demand that the cause Of the
mental trouble be traced back each time
to its beginning and someone be held re-
spSnsihle for the wrong conditions?
The same with tuberculosis. Why net
make greater efforts in the community
to prevent it?
One Of the most surprising things
ever knew was the general profiteering
| of American business men during and
after the world war. To me this seems
the most heartless thing / have ever
known For the majority of our citizens
now are Of the middle class, with fixed
incomes, and in great many families
where there were children the high prices
have meant that these ungrown children
have been deprived Of meat milk, eggs
butter and fruit or at the best have not
been able to have the usual amount OF
these necessary foods.
1t seems as if each church should taka
up this matter as regular part of theiI
church work, seeing that the children oil
their section are well nourished and spe-
cialize on prevention more than on cure
/ hope the time will come when oul
state hospitals can be used mostly fol
rest and recuperative homes for thoss
unable to take expensive changes and
cures when most needed to prevent dis
ease What blessing they might be i
fused in this way instead Of being fillet
with hopeless cases that might have beef
prevented.
OF course, we cannot change the hom'
conditions directly, but we can, If "
wish, control the teaching in our schools
Everything wrong has its beginning il
wrong training. wrong ideas and ba,
habits In childhood, lack of characte
building. Very few homes give the chill
the preparation he will need to live a
honest, healthy, happy. efficient life i
the world.
A child or person has nothing to guild
his life and actions except the anims
instincts, except as someone teaches hil
, ideas.
Where and Of whom is he getting thoe
ideas?
Our school system should be planne
= to make Of each child a good citizen, an
to give 10 each child as much as possib
the right training and ideas and habit
that he ought to have received in tt
home, before school age.
A child who is not taught and got I'M
the habit Of deciding everything by car
full thought and right reason and fai
ness will make very unpleasant ar
unsafe person to liye with.
