in their faces"
Keep the window of your soul open
so that the light of God can come in.
What a revealer light is. We would
never know how much our homes
need sweeping and dusting if it were
not for the light"
Keep the window of your soul open

Our souls need air How many souls
are being asphyXiated for lack of air.
Fresh air destroys germs. God breath
cd into man the breath Of life and he
must continue to breath into him if
man is to continue to live.
Keep the window Of your soul open

keep up such an eternal chatter in
Gods presence that he has no chance

some where There is no better place
to go than to God, therefore, keep the
way open."

"An open window means an open

Windows Open Toward God
Daniels window was open toward
Jerusalem Jerusalem, with Daniel,
stood for God. The direction in which
a mans window opens is a matter Of
the gravest Importance. Lots window
opened toward Sodom. He pitched hi,
tent toward Sodom. He pitched into
Sodom. Sodom pitched into him. COD
had TO pitch him out Of Sodom and
then take a life time to pitch Sodom
out Of him. Men say they cannot be
christians in their business. Then get
out of your business and get into
decent business. Daniel served God

when Daniel found the writing had

BE FAIR.

Be fair and just to the teacher
of your children. Remember
that the teacher in the public
schools is Il great and important
factor in developing into true
and.uscful manhood or woman
hood your child.
The child Is the raw material
out of which il To be made Il
man or woman. II will require
all of your care as well as that
of the teacher.
II Is a most important work,
involving great responsibilities,
much tact and clear judgment.
If your child complains Of the
teacher, remember that II Is
the complaint Of a child who
does not know what Is best.
Youth is impatient under re-
straint and often complains
without just cause.
We are not claiming perfec-
ton for school teachers, and
condemning all children, but we
do know that the teacher Is
nearly always right. and that
they have only the best interest
Of the pupil at heart.
Be fair to the teacher and
you will be kind to your child.
