A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

II have learned, in whatsoever state I
am, Herewith to be content. Phil,
iv.11.
The contentment Paul had learned
was not that indolent sort Of content
ment which we mark in those people
who are satisfied to remain where birth
and circumstances have placed them
and who never put forth any effort to
improve themselves and their lot in
life. AS against that sort of content
ment Paul was one Of the most discon-
tented Of men.
The sense in which he had learned to
be content is indicated in the verse
following the text, II know how to be
abased. and I know how to abound /;
everywhere in all things am instruct
both to be full and to be hungry, both
to abound and to suffer need" In
other words, he had learned to adapt
himself to any sort OF situation and
Herewith to be content. Content and
thankful when he found himself In a
comfortable and easy situation, he had
trained himself to be equally content
and grateful when he found himself in
less fortunate situation.
His was the kind of contentment
Webster defines as rest or quietness
of mind in ones present condition.
state of mind to which he had schooled
himself to the point where he never
became impatient over his temporal cir
cumstances. but always made the best
Of them, whatever they were.
Blessed Is the man who has learned
to keep himself in such a state of mind
The man who has learned to do that
can be happy anywhere and under any
condition. He does not condition his
happiness upon his surroundings. He
does not depend upon mere temporal
pleasures and comforts for his enjoy
nent Of life. He does not complain or
become respondent II he suffers misfor-
tune and is not able to keep up the
standard of living to which he has
been accustomed. He does not allow
his cheerfulness to be destroyed by what
he cannot have. He does not begrudge
other people the things they have be-
cause he cannot have them Instead
of grumbling about his privations, he
accepts them as a challenge.
This is a lesson much needed in these
days of depression. Many of us have
been forced to cut down to a more
modest standard of living than we were
accustomed to back in the days of pros
perity and abundance. Many have been
reduced to real hardship. Fortunate are
those who, like Paul, know how to be
abased, as we'll as how to abound. These
changes of condition and circumstances
will not spoil the lives and happiness
of those who have learned the lesson of
contentment.

Giving Him q Treat.

The circus had come to town and
Uncle Jack had taken Robbie to see
the show. They had started early and
stayed late, so that when Bobbie
reached home he was too weary to lift
his feet.

Don't you want anything 10 eat?"

He had good time looking at the
animals and the clowns. The bareback
riders had been huge success. I'VE
had a fine day." said he. "Bobbie had
a real treat. For once in his life he
did just what he liked. He ate what
he liked. he saw what he liked, he had
as much Of everything as he Nked.
Yes, sir; he had q real treat"
Mother looked anxious. II hope that
you didn't let him eat what wasn't
good for him, Jack. His stomach is
easily upset"
Il let him eat just what he wanted"
"But he doesn't know what he ought
to eat, nor how much. He Is only o
little boy and If you allowed him to
make himself i'll you ought to be
ashamed of yourself"
There you 60. The minute a child
does what he pleases the lot Of you
are on his back. AS II q little boy
couldn't hold q few sacks OF peanuts
and some pink lemonade and a few
pieces Of candy. We ate them, didn't

mot as much as We wanted, and not
everything"
well, he didn't eat everything. He
didn't want any hamburgers because
he had just had some hot dogs. But
he liked the popcorn first rate"
That night Bobbie was very sick
All that went down had to come up
and the process was distressing for
Bobbie and everybody else.
You made him sick, you ought to
have to nurse him and take care of
him until he is himself again. If you
had to bring up child like Bobbie
you would be q little careful

That's all the thanks I get. How did
I know that it would hurt him?"
Well. you could guess. It seems that
there Is in the heart Of every onlooker
a strong desire to break the routine
Of the children. Each aunt and uncle
and close friend feels in his Utmost
heart that he could bring that child
up without half the fuss and do it bet
ter That Is mistake, usually A
childs mother learns what food agrees
with him. Her experience teaches her
that a certain routine Of food and ex-
ercise and work and play is best for
this particular child It is always bet
ter to accept her scheme than to try
to vary it in the least. That way
trouble lies.

Your Baby and Mine

ideas and opinions are. like solid
rocks. diff1cult to upset or cast away
and the person who harbors them IS
the last one who sees the necessity Tor
such eradication. To those generations
who visualize an infant in lengths OF
wool and with a good crop of prickly
heat in Summer. it is most upsetting
to accept without protest the non
chalant manner in which the modern
mother divests her infant Of all clothes.
Mrs. T. H. is having the usual battle
to convince her mother-in-law that
young Tommy does not need wooden
shirt, wooden booteeS and pettlcoat
in this July weather.
She writes, as one can well sunrise,
with a feeling of real injury. Why DO
have to- keep petticoats on Tommy
just because my husband wore them
when an infant? Does he need
wooden shirt and bootees during these
hot days? I say NO and my mother
in-law warns me that I will have
sick child on my hands unless 1 keep
seems to be doing that very success
fully. I think it simply brutal to wrap
him up in woolens-he is just 8
weeks old-and I wonder what you
think. Mrs. Eldred? My mother-in-
law is always quoting you, so I know
she will listen to what you say"
In your mother in-laws day infants
wore very nearly the same amount OF
clothing Summer and Winter Because
Of this she experiences a feeling OF
fear when she sees baby's tummy UNI
covered. You see, she had 1t drilled
into her Just as some other ideas are
being drilled into you. She should
realize how silly it is. but some, such as
your mother-in-law. are having their
first experience with babies who are
being dressed in the modern way, and
you must allow her time to recover
from her fears.
The very. very new baby needs warm
clothes. within limits. A long-Sleeved
cotton shirt. diaper. cotton hose and a
cotton-flannel petticoat are not at all
out Of order. The baby has but lately
arrived from a very warm climate, over
SO degrees, and he loses heat rapidly
from his tiny body surface. We take
that into account and prevent his being
chilled. At six weeks, however, the
young husky should be comfortably
and safely dressed in knitted cotton
band, and diaper. pushing his feet into
space and waving his arms in pugilistlc
fashion. otherwise unhampered. Try to
convince your mother -in-law that along
with our other advances in child care,
keeping baby cool in Summer Is one
of the first rules to prevent illness.

AS the two girls walked slowly home,
Anna talked of her boss, what he had

much that was amusing to tell. And

was excited and happy. She had not

COTTON CROP

Supplemental financing for cot
ton planters will be arranged on
basis under which the co-opera-
tives will be able, at present price
levels, to advance to their mem
bers, for deliveries of the 1881
crop, an amount equal to one
cent per pound less than market
price, at point of delivery.
This was announced today after
a series of conferences between
members Of the Federal Farm
Board and the American Cotton
Cooperative Association.
Last year co-operatives pro-
duced 100000 bales of cotton.
This year it is expected the
amount will reach 5000, 900 bales,
since the total estimated cotton

OHIO COAL MEN
HIT RATE TILT

From whatever angle it is ex.
amined the "exceptionar advo'
cation of the railroads for a is
per cent increase in freight rates
will be found inconsistent with
the interests of both shippers and
carriers, and is wholly indefen-
sible," H. L. Findlay, of Cleve-
land, chairman of the Ohio Lake
cargo coal rate committee, told
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission committee today. He
said:
"The occasion for the pro-
posed advance is adequate rev
enues due to lack Of traffic.
That being the case, it would
seem that the flat differential
increase would work q great
injustice against the Ohio
lines, whose financial cOndi-
tiOns and volume of traffic are
greatly inferior to those of the
Southern lines"
