HOME, SWEET HOME.
Earth Like
Stay, stay ai home, my heart and
rest;
Homeseeking hearts are happiest.
For ihnse that wander (hey know
not where
Are Full of irouble and full of care.
To siay at home is best.
Home the name made dear by
sacred association?, the place where
childish feet lake iheir first fuller
ing steps and infant minds receive
their first idea. Where lessons of
love and truth, or right or wrong,
of faith and hope and purity are
mprinted upon the plastic heart,
and all the sorrows and perplexi
ties of afier life are inefficient 10
quite efface these first deep irue
impressions. Sweel home, where
the mother's gentle hands prepare
the little domestic comforts thai a
faiher's love provides, and filial
affection is the silver link, the silk
en tie that binds the household
band together. Trials may come
and clouds may lower, but in the
seclusion of home remains sweet
healing for the wounds that brave
and sensitive hearts hide from a
disdainful world. There these
hurts and distresses may be confi
dently revealed and- a remedy
found in its unquestioning faith.
There's a child's pure kiss or the
touch of dimpled fingers may .re
vive a soul on the verge of r!r .pair
and in the home the Ir jhtest
dreams become more golden, the
rarest pleasures more intense, the
tenderest joys more serene. And
if, in the varying degrees of for
tune, its loving shelter must be
abandoned, how the exile folds
about his heart, as the traveler does
his cloak the memory of its lights
and flowers, its loves and hopes
and kindnesses.
There the noblest influence ex
ist, the holiest impulses find expres
sion, and there have been born the
chaste and lofty sentiments that
have made a whole world better.
COULDN'T USE IT.
The woman at the Back Door
It must be a terrible thing 10 have
to go through life without limb.
You must remember, however,
thai it will be restored 10 you in
the next world.

As I ransacked old chests and quaint traveling trunks,
And rummaged rare keep-sakes of ancient design,
With a mingling of feelings of pleasure and pain,
1 chanced on an old Valentine.
And I see the gentle upturned face,
With its frank blue eyes and its smile divine,
As she blushingly curled her sweet lips and said
She would be "my true Valentine."
But along with the years that have passed since then,
And the varying fortunes and failures of life,
Comes the proof that the future is not as we plan,
But with manifold changes is rife.
For we drew apart though 1 loved her the while
And she married a man more worthy of her,
Who had wealth and refinement and learning profound
And all that a queen might prefer.
Yet I am not bitter, and envy not him,
The wine of true happiness once "to be mine,"
Bui out of my solitude rises to God
A prayer for that old Valentine.
THE WEATHER,
"Whatever the weather may be," says he
"Whatever the weather may be,
It's the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear,
That's a-makin' the sun shine everywhere,
An' the world of gloom is a world of glee,
Wid the bird in the bush an' the bud in the tree,
An' ihe fruit on the stem o' the bough," says he,
"Whatever the weather may be,"
"Whatever the weather may be !"
Ye can bring the Spring, wid its green an' gold,
An' the grass in the grove where the snow lies cold;
An' ye'll warm yer back, with a smiling face,
As ye sit at yer hearth, like an old fireplace,
An' toast the toes o' yer sowl," says he,
"Whatever the weather may be says he
"Whatever the weather may be."

Surely the Future I ooks Black Enough, Yet It
Holds a Hope, a Single Hope. One, and One
Power Only, Can Arrest the Descent and Save
Us. That is The Christian Religion,
Democracy is but a side issue. The paramount issue, underlying
the issue of democracy is the religion of Christ and Hun crucified!
the bed-rock of civilization; the source and resource of all that is worth
having in the world that is, ihat gives promise in the world to come;
not as an abstraction; not as a huddle of sects and factions; but as a
mighty force and principle of being. The Word of God, delivered by
the gentle Nazarene upon the hillsides of Judea, sanctified by the Cross
of Calvary, has survived every assault. It is now arrayed upon land
and sea to meet the deadliest of all assaults Satan turned loose for
one last, final struggle.
The Kaiser boldly threw down the gage of battle Infidel Germany
against the believing world "Kultur" against Christianity the Gos
pel of Love. Thus is ihe Satan personified "Myself and God"
merely his way of proclaiming it for his "God" is Beelzebub, the
Angel of Destruction, his creed the Devil's own, his aim and end a hell
on earth. Never did crusader lift banleaxe in holier war against the
Saracen than is waged by our soldiers of the cross against ihe German.
The issues indeed are identical.
If the world is to be saved from destruction physical no less than
spiritual destruction it will be saved by the Christian religion. That
eliminated leaves the earth to eternal war. For 50 ye. i Germany has
been organizing and laboring to supplant ii with "Kultur," the genius
of infidelity. Her college professors have been obsessed with ii.
Her universities have seethed with it. In acclaiming "Myself and
God," the Kaiser has put ihe imperial seal upon ii. When our armies
have run ii to its lair when they have crushed it naught will have
been gained unless the glorious banner of the cross is hoisted even as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness and the misled masses
of Germany are bade 10 gather about it and beneath ii as sadly they
collect ihe debris of iheir ruin for the reconstruction of the Fatherland.
Louisville Courier Journal.
Much has been written on the
subject of truth, love and duty;
suggestions to mothers, methods
of housekeeping and home making
and many other subjects, helpful
inspiring all of them; but it is the
greatest hero of every-day life
the provider of the home, the pro
tector of the fireside the husband
and father, we wish to say a word
of praise and for his benefit offer a
few suggestions to the wife. With
what unselfish devotion he labors
to secure for you the comforts,
luxuries and pleasures of life !
Whether it is in the shop.behind
the counter, in the office, at the
factory, in the mill, or on the farm
it is with one purpose in view he
works, he strives and slaves, pa
tiently, uncomplainingly, year in,
year out, for the comfort of those
he loves wife and children. The
man who, for iheir sakes, faces a
combination of discouraging cir
cumstances, distressing
difficulties, numberless failures,
and keeps steadfastly at his post,
defying them all, is a hero and
nothing less. We meet them every
day. Such they are, and doubt
less will continue to be as long as
there is a home worthy of protec
tion, a child worthy of care, and a
woman worthy of love.
And now, little woman, a word
with you. If some manly man
has chosen you to reign as queen
in his heart and home, know that
in that capacity you fill the most
sacred, the most honorable posi
tion in which woman aspire. In
it you appear in your most sacred
and dignified character. "To be
able to reinforce your husband in
the work of life," and rear your
children for positions of usefulness
is a work worthy of your most
careful and prayerful consideration.

"Indeed," said the grim-faced
