vor, if you will just take the right
road. Death is also on your track and
you viii have to make good time or 1T
will overtake you before you reach
the meridian of life The first work
of a girls life in point of Importance
is the formation of a suitable char
acter fer the duties of domestic and
social life. The girl whose goal is a
pure, lofty, generous Christian wo-
manhood has before her the loveliest
ideal this side the. glory world. And
she who wins and wears such a crown
on earth will be honored with golden
diadem in heaven. God wants follow
ers with kindred to Himself and Son.
For such characters are as naturally
and powerfully attracted toward God
as the meteor toward the earth. And
such persons are sure of heaven.
They have through ticket.
A girls character, whether it be
good or bad, is soon engraved on the
race and outlined in the features of
its possessor. And there is always
a very imperfect character delineated
in the face when there is a mental
or moral malady to be found in the
soul. The girl who calls her mother
the old woman is evidently wanting
in the upper story. 1t shows a sad
want OF anecClOn and respect Tor one
who gave her birth and shields her
from the hardships of life. On the
other hand nothing is more admired
in young girl than to see her lady
ship showing due difference to the
will and wishes of an honored mother.
Girls, be good and kind to your moth
ers. If they should be taken away
from you as my girls mother was,
just as they were entering their teens,
there is none to take her place They
love and care for you as no one else
ever could or would. Do not sit idly
by with folded hands while your worn
out mother tugs and tolls for you the
year round.
Then be faithful to both of your
parents. Honor thy father and mother
that thy days may be long upon the
earth.

From Childhood to Old Age

AS we can't dwell on one subject
too long we will step from childhood
to girlhood. As / have raised three
girls to be grown women, the fourth
one and the baby, only twelve years
of age and in school at. Franklin, KY,
l dc think haYe clear vision of the
worth of such precious jewels and how
they should be guarded and cared for.
will first say that girls life, its
innocence and purity are too sacred to
be exposed to the poisoned arrows and
deadly missiles of the vulgar and vile.
The ideal girl is jewel, as rich as
she is rare. She is the pride Of
fathers hearts, the comfort of a de-
voted mothers life, the guardian an
gel of loving brothers and queen of
the social circle in which she moves.
Girls who would be loved, honored and
happy, and their desire is to make
other happy and pleasant, must well
guard their thoughts, words and ac-
items.
They must first learn to control
thoughts, tongue and temper. One
selfish thought may harm no one d.
rectly but sow a seed of jealousy in
your own life and make it miserable
for all time to come. And one rash
act alone might Ndishonor YOUR loved
ones and disgrace yourself for life.
MY dear, sweet girls, be careful. Nav
COD help you to realize your worth in |
this world. Time, the heartIess ty-
rant, viii soon set up his charges t
against your charm of youth and
