UNO THE 0111!
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
It is interesting' to note how oui i
earliest understanding of a word stays
with us. When I was young the word
trouble stood in my mind for some
wrong or evil done by one person or
persons to others, and not for any
affliction sent by Providence. A pa
rent was troubled by misconduct or
the part of his children. To say that a
man was in trouble meant to me that
he had violated some law of the land
or of morality; while to say it of a
young woman definitely implied that
she had lost her most priceless pos
session—her chasity. Trouble meant
shame and disgrace.
And to this day I find myself hesi
tating before saying that anyone has
“seen trouble.” Sorrow, grief, misfor
tune. bereavement, all may come; but
as long as we are not in trouble we
can hold up our heads.
Miss Perkins, our Secretary of La
bor, seems to have put her feet into
something besides shoes in discussing
the revolution that would ensue were
the South shod. It is amusing to read
the various reactions of Southerners
which grade from amusement to deep
resentment.
Putting shoes on the South might
not cause a revolution, but one it
safe in saying that at this season of
the year, it would cause numberless re
bellions.
Nell Battle Lewis in Sunday’s New;
and Observer said that one of child
hood’s most precious memories is of
going barefoot and feeling warm sand
between the toes.
Another fond memory with some ol
us is that of walking in the soft, black
thick, unbelievably slippery mud that
is left in lowgrounds by a freshet
Its smooth squishy warmth can nevei
he forgotten, though coupled with ii
are recollections of unexpected falls

strong disapproval from these in au
thority.
As a child I never heard a preachei
mention Paul's “laying aside every
weight” as a preparation to running a
race that mv fancy did not at once pic
ture him as taking off hi> wintei
shoes.
Last week I noticed in a manufac
turer’s ad that good jar rings would Ik

some that 1 di.l not actually need tha’

And, there they wen —good, thick

just as the ad said.
With new jar ring- so inexpensive
there is little reason for trying t<

is greater than the saving would be
Use old rings, if in very good condi
tion, for jams, jellies and preserves, il
vou like; but buy new ones for can
ning. If you pour hot paraffine ovei
jellies and jams, they will hardly need
am- mole sealing; but the rubber ring
help- to keep air away from the con
tents of the jar.
Why do we find it so ha-d to keep
a list of foods put up for winter? The
leaders a*k us to do this, and it is
quite a practical suggestion. We shorn,
save the list and check off cans oi
jars as used. Then we are able t<

Serious Wreck

The Woman Who Has
Lived
!
By MADAME ROCHE
Help children in their moral development without let
ting- them see it, that they may have the illusion of
acting- alone.
i
Talk to them of an imaginary ladder whose summit
is perfection and on which they must climb at least
one rung each day.
Find out their exact needs—do not put their coats on I
them when you are cold, but when they are cold and
when it is cold weather.
Be frank and loyal. Reproach them scarcely at all
when they confess of their own accord, even praise
them for it.
Betray no weakness. Be infinitely tender and infinite
ly firm.
Make use of their very faults for correcting- them.
Never be their servant. Be their aid, their friend,
their mother.
1
1 have known mothers who loved their sons so blindly
that they would have been guilty of any cowardice
for their sake.
Respect their growing personality, separate their
small lives from yours. Young and old should not
live alike. But do not let them encroach; each mem
ber of the family should remain in his place.
Help them to develop; do not keep them children and
weak for the satisfaction of dominating.
1 hey should he kind toward all, but especially toward
the less fortunate—more polite, more deferential,
more indulgent and more tactful.
Do not keep them too confined, let them see the vast
world; they must have a chance to compare, even to
run risks; prepare them against the day when they
must leave you.—Selected by a subscriber.

Asses All—
At the beginning of things, when
the world was young, the donkey was
esteemed by all the tribes as the wis
est ot animals.
A certain -lieik owned a great herd
ot these sagacious beasts, which was
the pride anil joy of his life.
Othei sheiks came from ail around
to listen and marvel at the wisdom
of the herd.
At such a time came even the Pro
phet himself most learned and wise
of all the son- of the East. With much 1
glowing pride this sheik led him out to
it- herd andsaid: "Behold, O Prophet!
he wist and talented a.-ses; converse
with them, te-' them, and see if verily,
they are riot wiser than forty trees
lull of owls.”
"Then the Prophet addressed th<
■ms. “Let us test thy wisdom.” h>
-aid. “Answer me this question: ‘What
would an a- require for a three days'
journey?’ ”
And they counseled among th"in
-elves and made reply: "For a three
days’ journey. () I'iophit, any as.
bould require -ix bundh of hay and
1 htee bag- of dat< s."
"Very good,” quoth the Prophet
"that -i.undetri like a fail and propel
n re," Whereupon the Sheik brok«
into loud chuckle- and -aid: "Did I
not tell you they an- pa--dug wise?"
The Prophet answered: "Wait." and
he again addressed the asses, “1 have
a three days’ journey to make but I
will not give thee six bundles of hay
and three bags of date- for making it.
I>'t him who will go for less stand
forth.”
And behold they all stood forth and
began to talk at once. One t#>uld g»
for six bundles of hay and one hag of
dates, until finally on- long-mred
.- I .—s agreed to go tor in<* bundle of hay
only.
Then spoke the Prophet: "Fool,’
quoth he, "you cannot even live foi
three day- on one bundle of hay. much
less profit for the journey."
"True.” replied the long-eared one ,
"but I wanted the oide, "

Revival Closes .
At Wakefield
On Tuesday night a ten-days’ re
j vival meeting closed at the Wakefield
| Baptist Church. Although the weather
I was almost unbearably hot, large,
congregations attended every service •
Rev. J. T. Riddick, pastor of Watts'!
Street Baptist Church, Durham, as-j
I sisted Pastor Davis in the meeting.!
About a dozen new members were ie
ceived into the fellowship of the
i church during the meeting.
Rev. Mr. Riddick is recognized as
. one of the best pastor-evangelists in,
the State. He is a man of pleasing j
personality and speech. His sermons;
show a wide range of study, are scrip-,
tural to an unusual degree. Few heard '
; him once that did not hear him
: through to the close of the meeting
j No doubt but that his messages did a
great deal of good that was not evi
dent in building the spiritual life ol ;
the church.
On next Sunday evening at X:OC

! vice, the ordinance of baptism will be
administered to those received upon
a profession ot faith during the meet
