FOR WEARY MOTHERS.
From w. J. K, Washington
Many letters have been written
during the past weeks by mothers
of young children genuinely dis
treSsed because they see need In
their lives which Is not being salts
fed. In other words-their lives
are not affording them the degree
of harmony and JOY to which they
know in their hearts they are justly
entitled.
While there has been much advice
and sympathy given, I have not
seen any suggestions that seem to
me to get down TO the root of the
trouble and give these seekers a
real boost
For 10 years I was a farmers
wife in Illinois where our three
children were born. I know what
drudgery can mean and what ii
can do to you mentally and physi-
cally, but what I've often wished
I had known at that time and
what I wish to pass on now to these
distraught women is this-that we
are spiritual beings and we must
replenish ourselves spiritually as a
daily health habit just as faith
fully as we eat and sleep.
I am fully aware of the scorr
and impatience from some sources
that will greet the statement that
I now emphatically make, viz:
"A sincere turning consciously tc
the recognition of higher power
than ourselves-will eventually re-
solve every problem into nothing
ness and establish peace. joy and
abundance of every gooo thing that
our hearts can desire"
This being a recognized Christian
Nation I have no hesitancy in re-
ferring to the last part of the
Sermon on the Mount" Seek
ye first the kingdom of God good
and His Righteousness and all these
things shall be added unto you
During my 10 years IN Washing
ton / have had occasion to pass
this philosophy on to other women
and in every instance they are prov
ing that the philosophy of the
Master works in practical every
day living
I have found much help in the
little booklet called THE Golden
Key" by Emmett Fox, The phil
osophy contained in this when SIN
cerely and persistently applied has
produced miraculous changes fol-
good. Hundreds of thousands OF
people have been helped by It's
simple revelation.
COOKING CANNED OKRA?
fFrom Mrs. J. A. H., Jr., Washington J
My Mississippi-br husband
brought about 80 cans of okra from
his home. have pored over all the
recipe books I could get my hands
on, but all this Wisconsin girl could
find was how to cook raw okra-
namely, Just to boil it. Does any
one know any other ways to cook
this vegetable?
I have been converted to some
Southern cooking but so far the
okra just doesn't appeal to my
Northern tastes!
