MEMORY.
Time soothes the wound that works our keenest pain,
But does not heal;
When memory brings our suhVriug back again
We still can feel.
We live our lives, we struggle, and forget
The bitter past,
Our memory seems to slumber now, but yet
It wakes at last.
A chance word, idly spoken, strikes the car,
We feel a thrill,
And to our eyes, unbidden, comes a tear,

A LAST FAREWELL.
Queen of my life, a long farewell
lixistence to tnc is but sorrow;
You can look on to the rose-tinted spring
And the joys to come on the morrow;
But no spark ol" hope's in :hc future fr me;
All the pleasures of life I resign;
But, remember, I beg, should you ever think ol me,
That mv heart will ever be thine
The fortunes of life h.ivc cist us apart.
We meet no more forever !
And though I shall try from the depth of my heart
The bond of alleciion lo sever.
Whether I dwell on the peak's icy cap,
Or the beach, where the sea sands shine,
My soul will e'er cleave 10 the love that I leave,
And mv heart will ever be thine.

j It is good to have an ideal.
j But Ideals are nothing if they j
j do not lead up to the real. To be :
worth while they must lead you 1
somewhere and land you some-1
where. j
This is the test. Try your ideal S
on. If it it is good the ;rcsulis w ill j
be good. You can test the tree of
idealism by its fruits. j
An ideal is a picture in your i
mind of what is supremely to he
desired. It is a vision of what 1
ought to be. And it is an impulse ,
to better things.
An ideal is more than a dream.
If you only dream you are not a
good idealist. If you dream long
and hesitate you are not an idealist
at all; you are merely a Micawber
waiting for something to turn up.
If you are a true idealist you will
go out and turn something up.
A true ideal is a big idea that has
worked its way down trom your
head into your heart. It beckons
and leads you to an objective. A
true ideal has terminal facilities.
Yo want to do or be. Well
The ideal takes hold of you
where you are and as you are and
puts you in motion and in the
right direction. It leads you to a
goal.
Lincoln had a true ideal.
It was given him by his wilder
ness mother, who, when dying,
called the nine-year-old boy to her
bedside and said : "I am going
away, my boy, but I want you to
remember that your mother wants
you to be a good and a useful man. "
That ideal goodness and useful
nessled Lincoln up to the heights.
Jefferson had an ideal to weave
the web of democracy into the
warp of organic law. It look him
also to the high ground of great
ness. Ideals are living issues, not mere
longings.
And your ideal is it good ?
Then harness it to your life forces
in such a way that it will lead you
j to noble accomplishment.
Hold fast to it. Dream the
i dream, but make the dream come
; true.
Dream ? Yes, but do!
Link your ideal to your will
power. Then something must
: move, because you have linked
God's power with yours.

Mrs. Johnson, the w ifc of the
new minister hi a New Lngland
town, asked a neighboring farm
er's boy to bring her a doen eggs
and a roasting chicken next day
when he brought the vegetables.
The boy appeared promptly but m
his basket were only eleven eggs.
"Ma says she will send over the
other egg after awhile," he explained.-
"But w hat about the chicken,"
Mrs. Johnson asked, "That does
not seem to be here either."
"She will send that, too," was
the answer.
"But," complained Mrs. John
son. "I want to cook the chicken
for dinner. Why didn't you bring
it over this time-"
"Because," replied the boy, "the
hen aim killed yet. You see, ma's
waitin' till she lays the other egg."

When asked what was the great
est need of Trance, Napoleon an
swered: "Mothers'"
Mothers are the greatest need
not only of France, but of the
world. It is certainly true that
those nations only are great whose
mothers are great.
Note the Jewish race.
Where will you find greater
sanctity of home life, purer d mes
lic love, than in the home of the
Jew? It has been so since the call
of Abraham. Chastity and devo
tion have ever adorneu i tie jewtsn
mother. And that is why the race
has produced more great men in
proportion to its numbers than any
other.
And the Germans.
When Tacitus wrote about
them twenty centuries ago the
Teuton who lived in his native
forests was the husband of one
wife, and that wife then, as today,
was industrious, domestic, virtu
ous. In consequence no other
people have achieved greatness in
so many ways as the sturdy Germans.
: And Lngland.
' Statesmen may stand up in par
' liament to champion a budget that
will build more ships to guard her
shores and save her possessions,
but the real bulwark of the empire
j is the bulwark of I'.nglish homes
and mothers.
I! the Anglo-Saxon dominates
the world it is because ol the puri
ty of Anglo-Saxon mothers.
And America?
The sons ol the republic match
in the forefront of the world's
progress as arbiters of righteous
ness and the piuJuimers of peace
because of the mothers behind
them.
