GOLDEN RULE TACTICS WITH
OUR CHILDREN

II we expect consideration on the
part Of our children when we have
company, surely they are entitled to
the same show of courtesy from US
when they are filling positions of
host or hostess to their playmates.
l wonder II we do not often create
an unpleasant atmosphere during
this portion of their education. So
often we supervise their playing
until much OF the joytuiness Is TAX
en- out of the occasion for them. We
should resent one of our own age
telling us how to entertain our
guests. Even Husband would be ac-
corded an icy stare should he at
tempt to dictate, but how much
more trying we should find 1t II
Grandmother attempted to direct
our procedures! Children, no doubt,
feel irritated in much the same way
when we too obviously interfere
with their plans.
To be sure, the education Of a
perfect host must be started at a
very tender age, but the foundation
can be laid gradually ana happily.
Probably the very first item on this
schedule would have to do with the
sharing of toys. No child can be a
successful host until, by experience,
he understands the pleasure of
bringing out his choice playthings
for a guest to enjoy, and consider
ing this comrades wishes in the
matter Of games. With some young
sters these are dificult lessons to
learn and sympathy and encourage
ment are needed on the part of the
teacher.
AS the child grows older in years
and experience it is a good idea to
make casual suggestions from time
to time that may bear fruit later.
For instance, when you teach him
new game you might mention that

year compelling every automobile to
submit to local government inspec-

about 65 per cent of the cars could
not pass. Some of the prOtesters
complained that the law was un-
just and story after story could be
told of the braggarts who said their
cars were ali right But careful in
spectiOns proved in startling ways
that the cars were not in good con-

Silent Sympathy
by Mrs. L. !. S. Rogers

BY Clara q. Heath
How sweet the silent sympathy
A blessed few bestOw,
When with the deepest grief and
pain,
We struggle here below.
The help that comes when needed
most,
The silent tender kiss
o, more than words we value them,
And more than words we miss.
We do not need a trumpet blast,
To make us understand
The meaning of a fearful eye,
The pressure of a hand.
Jobs friends showed more of faith
full love,
Those seven silent days.
Than when they talked so learnedly'
Of all JehOvah's ways.
Thanks for the silent sympathy,
A gifted few can bring;
That comes, like balm of Gilead'
That is so rare thing.

My COmrGde

BY Edwin Markham
I never build a song by night or day.
OF breaking ocean or of blowing
whin,
But in some wondrOus unexpected
way,
Like light upon a road, my Love
comes in.
And when got at night upon the
hill,
My heart is lifted on mysterious
wings;
My Love is there to strengthen and
to still.
For she can take away the dread
of things.

AS Hilda Jean began to take her

sight. For five minutes no one did
anything, but then Joseph Sinnet,
House doorkeeper, went up to the

The Parkers left the gallery, and

his head in a bewildered fashion.
