A Prayer When [ Cannot Sleep

the realization of Thy power at work
through them. May no woman go
through this experience without a feel
ing of partnership with Thee.
To anxious parents who lie awake
listening for young footsteps give un-
derstanding and wisdom, and above all
faith in their children.
And to those whose lives are slipping
out tonight into the sea of God, give
some reflected beauty of that Place
prepared for those who love Thee. This
night, as in the day, o Father, keep
us all close under the shadow of Thy
wings.
So may I lose myself in the vast
ocean of Thy love, and sleep. Amen.

Point of View

He'll admit that the scenery is pretty
And the country Astounding with
charm.
But the man from the hum of the
city
Finds it dull on the quiet farm.
But the man in the country belonging
Is lost in the noise and strife
Of the city, and soon he is longing
For the quiet of country life.

this huge, old-fashioned house for all
the beauty and efficiency of a shining
modern home. During my years of
living here, I have thoroughly enjoyed
painting, papering, laying linoleum,
doing and re-doing this old house, with
its fancy woodwork, its gingerbread, all
its odd corners and crannieS.
1t took me long time to learn about

the front porch, the cubby-hole under
the stairs, the So-romantic balcony up

splendid panorama of our valley in
greater hree-dimensional sweep than
any picture window ever beheld.
Let landscape gardeners plan your
grounds. Whoever planned ours surely
did plant that tree too close to the
front porch, but just right for the young

in the morning and would let himself

Solidarity

When sickness comes into the house,
It's walls, unbid, move close,
COMPRISING life to simple terms,
Routines of care and dose.
All pulses beat alike, too fast
With fever, or with fear;
In unaccustomed unity
Hearts once estranged draw near.

An Editorial
The Privilege of
Responsibility

WHEN YOU WE'RE child, did you
feel over-worked as you walked home
behind the milk cows or picked wild
berries for jelly? No-you felt that you
were an important part of the family
enterprise.
Nowadays, when children dislike do
ing the smallest tasks around the house,
] believe it is because we have been
cheating them. In the beginning, per-
haps, we did not give them an oppor-
tunity to feel that their help was needed
and appreciated.
Every adult knows the satisfaction
of well polished window, for instance.
Too many children today don't, because
their parents are afraid of burdening
them. A child likes to feel that he is
capable of contributing to the running
of the household.
Start your 1O-year-old daughter to
washing the cream separator and
dishes, and listen to her howl. Before
she has half finished, she is singing
because, whether she knows it or not,
she has become exhilarated by the
thrill of accomplishment A job well
done is reward enough it seems.
In the beginning, assistance from
your children does not tighten your
work. Sometimes it seems to double it.
But how can your child know how to
help and want to help later on, if he
is not started early? The first time
your child does particular chore, he
may not be especially speedy or thor
Ough. This is particularly important
point, since our attitude toward the job
he has done will either encourage or
discourage further attempts to help.
Don't scold. Either show gently how
the work could be improved upon, or
thank him and let it go until a later
date. Treatment at this point depends
to large extent upon the nature of the
child. He'll learn efficiency in time
and we must be patient.
Our responsibility toward our children
does not mean complete dedication, al
though we enjoy doing for them. Rath
er, we must give them a lift on the
road to maturity by allowing them to d.

Efficient Storage
