There is an enduring tender-
ness in the love of mother for
her son that transcends all other
affections of the heart.
God sends every bird its food,
but He does not throw it into
the nest. He gives us our daily
bread, but it is through our own
labor.
The voice of duty is neyer
still. It whispers to us morning,
noon and night; it reaches us
from the roar of the wild temp-
est, the sigh of the summer
winds, the soft, gentle murmur
of the wayside brook. That
still small voice will not be hush-
ed.
What volumes our faces say!
Some speak of love and kindness,
some of anger and hatred, others
of pride and rebellion, and others
still of selfishness. We can't
help our faces talking, but we
can make them say pleasant
things; and all should try to
have them do so.
Country life may involve hard
work and the missing of many
pleasures obtainable in cities,
but the mother who has the
chance of bringing up her chil-
dren in health and away from
the temptation of cigarettes and
saloons, has a great advantage;
and if she succeeds in bringing
them to maturity in unblemished
health and purity, she has
already done a good work in the
world. Ifshehas taught them
to like simple, wholesome, food,
she has given them one safeguard.
The boys probably will not
thank us for advising against
feeding theri on pies :'n(' dough-
nuts, but it's good advice, ever-

How is your two-week !s-old
resolution, does it stick? Now
if you happen to slip, jump up
instead of giving up. Be on the
"try" instee^of on the "yield"
and the end of the year will find
you stronger, better, of lighter
heart and somewhat imperfect,
than if you "declare there's no
use," and fall completely back
in the oldfcway^ thick with the
bo«rs of "bad habits."
The oeople who have so much
Sympathy for those who have
gone beyond ail earthly help,
might use a little of it in everyday
life to a good an.l excellent pur-
! pose. The idea of kicking peo-
| pie when alive and then for a
! person to weep over their grave
! when dead is what too many oí
! us do and is one reason why the
I world i-- no betl-T i-xi-.v. Speak
The Typhoid Malady.
As the season is now approach-
ing when that dreaded disease—
typhoid fever—will be prevelant,
it would be a wise move on the
part of our citizens to begin to
take precautions toward exter-
minating the infection. Typhoid
fever is an infectious disease and
its chief so*urces of infection is
by water, milk, dust, and unclean
substance; so it is seen that clean-
liness and sanitation is the key to
the situation when it comes to
avoiding the disease. The
premises should be well cleaned
up, all rubbish and refuse matter
should be cleared away, and all
trash burned. Then thoroughly
screen your houses against flies,
these pests should be dealt wTith
in every conceivable way to rid
them from the house, as flies are
a frequent means of conveying
the malady. Drinking water is
also an important item to be con-
sidered in this connection. The
water you drink should be free
from all impurities as far as pos-
sible. With the proper precau-
tion typhoid fever can be elimi-
nated, and possibly soon dis-
appear in our midst.

The Best Seller.
| A Bible publishing house re-
cently made a statement that
80,000,000 copies of the book had
been sold during its history of
nearly a century, and that 1,000,-
000 copies are being sold even'
year, in fifty languages. This is
conclusive evidence that the Bi-
ble is not being cast aside in the
home as much as some people
think. It is truly a wonderful
thing when we stop to think of
the enormous sale of this book.
Nothing in literature is to be
compared with it. It is a record
that stands unapproached in the
history of the printed page. At
a rough guess it would be diffi-
cult to name fifty books whose
aggregate sales equal those of
the Bible. It would certainlv be
impossible to name fifty books
whose sales have constantly in-
creased year after year for the
better/ part of a century.—San
Angelo Standard.
When it comes to "best sellers"
none of them are comparable to
the Bible, "the lamp of light and
path of peace" for all genera-
tions. Nobodv is too poor to
buy a Bible or too rich to need
one. But it is a pity that more
people do not read it th£*i buy
it.—Dallas News.

A Sabbath School Thought.
In our common schools, acade-
mies, colleges and universities,
each have their course of study,
and text books for the same;
and as a student masters each
branch, the text books are laid
aside and he graduates to a high-
er. But in the Sabbath school
it is defferent. We have our
text book for the whole course
and that course should be for
life. In the bible there are
truths which the merest child
can understand and depths of
thought which the fnost learned
cannot fathom. It may .be call-
ed the railway guide on the road
to heaven, and the Sabbath
schools lunch counters along the
way at which we may refresh
ourselves. One of the grandest
sights for mortal eyes is a whole
family from the tottering grand-
parents down to the prattling
child, all in school and studying-
the same lesson, and that lesson
for eternity. Á person should
never be too old, too rich or too
wise to cease being a Sabbath
school student.
