Mrs. Daniels spoke in low, mod
ulated tones, easy and graceful,
and every statement she made was
a plea from her heart to the hearts
of all to "give for the dearest things
on earth and sea, our boys and
girls." Her closing words form
ed a direct appeal to raise the mon
ey in one day.
livery word bore out the state
ment she made in her introductory
remarks, "To help my govern
uienl, our boys and our girls. Just
as a mother with a message of
'Love and Service.' Not a speech,
hut I have whutall Americans have
a big heart and I want to pour it
out to you." It was a heart full
of love for God and humanity and
the audience was in a reciprocal
mood.
As Judge Lyell had referred to
her husband's wonderful work in
building up the Navy, and trans
porting more than 2,000,000
American soldiers, with food
stores, ammunition, etc., sately to
l-'rance, she said that the records
of the Navy must be held until af
ter the war, when it would become
history.
She brought a message of 'Love
and Service," relating incidents in
connection with the war and war
work, showing that love for God
and fellowmen is the greatest love
and the spirit of helpfulness should
prompt every one at all times.
She spoke as one who has seen

HO W DO TACKLE IT?
How do you tackle your work each day ?
Are you scared of the job you find?
Do you grapple the task that comes your way
With a confident, easy mind?
Do you stand right up to the work ahead
Or fearfully pause to view it?
Do you start 10 toil with a sense of dread
Or feel that you're going to do it ?
You can do as much as you think you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young man,
' There's little for you in store.
For failure comes from the inside first;
It's there if we only knew it;
And you can win, though you face the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it.
Success ! It's found in the soul of you,
And not in the realm of luck.
The world will furnish the work to do,
But you must provide the pluck.
You can do whatever you think you can,
It's all in the way you view it;
It's all in the start that you make, young man:
You must feel that you're going to do it.
How do you tackle your work each day?
With confidence clear or dread ?
What to yourself do you stop and say
When a new task lies ahead?
What is the thought that is in yaurmind ?
Is fear ever running through it ?
If so, tackle the next you find
By thinking you're going to doit.
THE FUNERAL PROCESSION.
The Soldier's Only Child.
An all'ccting little incident that
lustrates the spirit of loving com
radeship that under the strain ol
war binds all I'm nee together like
one family is told by Mrs. Mary
King Wuddinglon in My War Dia
ry.
went to the ouvroir this after
noon and found our cashier, who
had just arrived, rather ner
vous at being late. I thought she
had had bad news of her husband,
who is at the front; when she ex
plained, I learned that it was a dif
ferent matter. She was standing
at the door of her house with only
a shawl on her shoulders when
she saw a hearse pass, with a small
coffin, evidently that of a child,
and a soldier walking behind it
quite alone, crying. She said that
something she did not know what
moved her to run out into the
street. She went out, slipped her
arm into the soldier's and walked
along with him. A fat old con
cierge next door did the same
thing, first stopping and buying a
few pennies' worth of flowers
from a cart to put on the coffin.
Several others joined them, and
by the time they reached the cem
etery there were a dozen persons
walking behind the hearse.
The poor man was too dazed at
first to speak, but finally told them
that it was his only child; his wife
was ill, and he had twenty-four
hours' leave to come and bury
the child. He gave his name and
address, and would be so grateful
if some one would look after his
wife. He was going back to the
front that night.
Jeanne went over the next day,
found the poor woman in a miser
able little room, ill and depressed.
A neighbor looked after her. Of
course the ouvrier will see that
she is properly cared for, and try
to find some work for her when
she gets stronger.

much of the spirit of the soldiers
and sailors, how ennobling, up
lifting the lives they are living, and
their scrz as ihey board the trans
ports for the scenes of war is not a
song of hate it is: "A Son of
God Goes to War, a Kingly Crown
to Win."
She heard this song as she was
standing on a pier at an Atlantic
port, watching thousands upon
thousands alight from the trains
cross the ferry and go aboard the
ships which bore them across the
sea where the battles are raging.
Her mother heart went out to
these boys, but when she heard
that song, instead of turning with
a tear in her eye, there was a smile
for these boys were ready to do all
for the most glorious cause of all.
HER UNWORTHINESS.
It was the sweet scent of the
lilies in the conservatory, the beau
ty of the young girl's hair, or the
excellent champagne he had taken
at supper that led to his proposing
in the obscurity beneath a palm
"It cannot be," she said. I
am unworthy of you."
"Oh, rubbish 1" said he.
"It is true: it is true." And she
sighed.
"You are an angel," he said ardently.
"No. no: vou are wrong," said
the girl. "I am vain, idle, silly,
utterly unfit to be your helpmate
through life."
He laughed lighily, then said, in
a soothing voice:
"Why, this is sheer madness
What sort of a wife do you think
I ought to have?"
"A very wise, deliberate, practi
cal woman," she replied; one
able to live on your salary."

MOTHER'S INFLUENCE.
The Power of the Mother Over
The Child.
Don l forget that i promising
man seldom pay eash.
We were somewhat startled the
other day to hear a learned lawyer
of matured years and wide influ
ence say:"l:very child is five-sixths
mother and one-sixth father."
"How is that?"
How can it be otherwise when
you cousider the closeness of the
tie between the mother and the
child? It is actually bone of her
hone and flesh of her flesh. Dur
ing the early formative period the
child is most entirely under the in
fluence and guidance of the moth
er. A wise observer of human de
velopment has said: "Give me a
child during the first five years of
his existence and I will make him
what I please. It is in babyhood
when the mind is soft and impres
sible, that it receives the indellible
marks.for good or evil. The fath
er is away from home, busy with
attairs, the bread winner earning
by the sweat of his brow, protec
tion lor tits little ones and means
of educating them, while the moth
er is with them constantly, forming
their minds, their dispositions and
establishing their principles perma-
nenilv. The power nf (he motbfT
over the child is almost absolute
She may praise or punish as she
will. In her home she is the dic
tator and may rule as a despot, ex
acting obedience from a rebellious
horde or as an angel diffusing
sweetness and light into every cor
ner and cranny of her kingdom
Thus the power and influence of
women, though quiet, secret, hid
den, are the heart and homes of
the land, is infinitely powerful and
and far reaching.
Exaggeration is so common a
fault that many of us fall into i
without realizing that it is a fault.
Not long ago a Methodist sister
was seized at an experience meet
ing with a sudden desire to tell the
truth. Several had preceded our
heroine in their testimony, and
then the woman arose and in a
beautiful pitiful voice, asked the
prayers of the congregation, say
ing "I know my besetting sin is ex
aggeration, it has grown on me by
degrees. I never tell anything
that is not true, but I do exaggerate
the truth. I've tried so hard to
get over it; in fact I have shed
oceans and ocur's of tears about
She aroused not only the
sympathy of some but much
amusement to those who knew
her well. Then later when the
minister was offering up his peti
tion for the varied needs of his
flock, our "exaggerated" friend
was shocked to hear him conclude
"and Oh! Lord, forget not our
lying sister," which was more ef-
hcacious in getting what was need
ed than many more ethical prayers.
