Every woman’s heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby’s
voice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
nature of a mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such a time is usually
period of suffering and danger.

one hundred people were turned away.
x The play was ojpe of the best ama-

city, and reflects great credit individ-

tributing in any way to the program.

as she expressed it, “Each and every:
member of the cast was a willing
worker, and did their part faithfully;

Students and would-be writers may
do-well to observe a paragraph in the
speech of Mr. Lunsford, managing ed-
itor of the San Antonio Express, as
follows: "Now, how many Texas ed-
itors; or editors in any other state,
have prepared themselves for hand-
ling the editorial page by Bible study,
and yet, as Mr. Dana says, the sim-
plicity of its words, the directness of
its expressions, the lack of 1 hat ting< ,
of ’yellow’ now all too frequent in a
certain class of modern newspapers,
commends It to a student socking to
learn the language in its purity and
vigor."
One portion of Mr Finley's paper

introduced by the query, "What, are

sion, perhaps, than it should lie every-
day and in all situations—to you and
to me aud to all ot us.
