THE BOOK
.... the first tine of which reads
"The Holy Bible," and which contains
Four Great Treasures ....
By BRUCE BARTON
ESTHER
The story comes late in the Old
Testament chronology, dealing with
the period when there were numerous
Jews in Mesopotamia, descendants
of those who were carried away
captive by Nebuchadnezzar in 5S6 B.
C. A hundred years had passed and,
while many Jews hnd returned to Palestine,
others were settled in different
parts of the big unwiedly Persian
kingdom, ruled over by Ahasuerus.
Mordecai was plotted against by a
politician named Hainan, who thru
misrepresentation caused the king to
promulgate a decree of massacre
against the Jews. It was at this crisis
that Mordecai went to Esther, demanding
. that she go in unto the king,
to make supplication unto him, and
to make request before him for her
people.
She replied that no one was per
nutted to approach the king without
being sent for by name and that the;
penalty of disobedience was death. In
noble words Mordecai argued the
case, and at length Esther was persuaded.
Go, gather together all the Jews
that are present in Shush an (she replied),
and fast ye for me. and neither
cat mi" drink three "lays, night
or day: I also and my maiden will
fast likewise; and so will I go in
unto the king, which is not according
to the law; and if I perish, I
perish.
The third day came. Modestly, but
with firm step and head erect, she
moved into the inner court where sat
Ahasuerus on his mighty throne.
There was an awful moment of suspense
while the courtiers watched
with bated breath to see what destruction
would descend upon this
girl who had dared to break the law.
But her beauty was irresistible. The
king held out his scepter, the sign of
royal recognition. Esther knelt and
touched it and made her plea and
won.
A new decree was promulgated; the
Jews were restored to favor and began
promptly to take advantage of
their opportunities to g"ow rich. Hainan
by poetic justice was hanged on
the high gallows which he had built
for Mordecai.
The finest passage in the whole
book is Mordecai*s ringing answer to
Esther when she hesitated to approach
the king arguing that her feeble
strength and abilities could not
possibly prevail in such an. emergency:
These words have rung down the
jtfk
corridors of Time as an undying chal- :
(ler.ge to the courage and faith of
j vouUi. *L.et no faint heai tedness turn
i vcti aside from the duty to which you:
i are clearly called, no matter how |
hard that duty may be or how much
! apparently beyond your powers." gjjf j
and who knoweth whether i
j thou art come to the kingdom for j
1 such a tfme as this?

THE EXPECTANT MOTHER
By all odds the nearest to a mira-1
c?e that we perform is the reproduc- j
tion of our race. I can not think of i
i anything: more wonderful than the art?
j of caring for the young mother. The!
j advice gi\ en in this letter is of the \
j utmost importance.
There is nothing more natural than 1
j that the healthy young wife should
, hear children. It is a perfectly natu1
rai process, and need not cause the!
J least damage when intelligently man-:
jagtd.
.There is a great wave of dread in :
the country -dread of the baby, the i
young mother pictures herself as the}
j victim of all sorts of accidents; now j
jhere is my first advice, do not ask i ]
! your neighbor's opinion of ehiiu-bear- ;
j' ng; she may have been subject to
| neglect, or. indeed, cruel treatment: j
she may not have had a careful phv
Isician; she may not have been a heal- i
thy woman to begin with. The way
j for you to do when you suspect preg- j
j nancy is to consult the best physi- j
ciar. you know, get the one that most!
Women recommend. Then, keep in ;
I close touch with him that he may
guide your case to a happy tcrminai
tion.
My chief advice in this letter is. 1
| be advised by your physician anil not
by your friends;and neighbors. This
is highly important. The
avoidance of bearing children
for economy's sake is poor policy;
no industrious ybuhg couple should?
have fewer than two childrtii See j
your physician at least every month: jj
have him examine the urine and keep
I.he bowels and kidneys acting normallv.
The young mother makes a health- , .
ler woman than the young wife who j}
avoids pregnancy. Tt is woman's mis- 1
sion to hear children? the highest j
privilege on earth.

The school at Maple Springs came
to a close Friday, May 10. The com- [
j mencenient was a huge success, the
i building overflowing with school pat
rons and visitors. Very interesting
j talks were made by teachers and loj
cal committeemen.
I The seventh grade graduating
j class consisted of fifteen members.
We arc proud to say that Aryilie FosI
ter, a pupil of Maple Springs, made
I the highest grade on the State cx|
animation of anyone in our district.
| He delivered the valedictory. Patrons
[of the school feel that this has been
| the most successful year in the his- .
i tory of education in this community, 11
and count themselves lucky for hav- [
ing Mi. Z. T. Greene, Miss Annie Ale-1
Neill, Miss Ruby Parsons and Mrs.)
Leonard Mikeal with them again dur-j
ing the past term. Mrs. Mikeal, Miss)
Parsons anil Mr. Greene are Watau-1
gas contribution to Maple Springs
School.
The teachers were very active in
church work. Mr. Greene has been 1
the leader of singing for the past
eight months, while the others are ac- 1
tive members of the Sunday School
classes. Their going away will be a {
great loss to the community, but
thinking of the eight months of service
they have rendered to us, we can
heartily say, "Well done, my good
and faithful servants; you deserve a
rest."
I Mr. Greene was followed from
I church Sunday by a large number of
cars. While he was putting his automobile
in the garage about one hundred
and fifty surprise guests had
gathered on the lawn. A bounteous
picnic dinner was served, after which
the guests gathered in the living room
and beautiful music was rendered by
Miss Imogene Greene and Mrs. Pearl
Cock.
Maple Springs people extend to Mrs. I
Greene their sincere thanks for the
many kindnesses she has shown her
neighbors.?Reported.
