"A little bit of patience
Often makes the sunshine come,
And a little bit of love
Makes such a happy home.
A little bit of home
Makes the darkest day look gay, .
And a little bit of charity
Makes glad the ssui4est day."
• Some one has well said, "Cheerfulness
is the keynote of the breakfast table,"
and another writer remarks, "Whatever
promotes cheerfulness is an aid to appe
tite and digestion." This suggestion is
worth remembering, as well as the simple
fact that the order, neatness and at
tractiveness of the table have no small
influence in promoting a healthy interest
in one's breakfast.

BITS OF SONG.
Only a little lassie, singing a happy song.
Yet the sweet notes of the music, by the
breezes hurried along,
Fell on the ears of a toiler who was pass
ing along that way,
And humming a snatch of the sweet re
frain,
His work seemed light that day.
Only a careless laddie, humming along
the street,
Clapping his hands to the music, keeping
time with his feet.
Yet it fell like a magic on the -weary
Passing throng. <-<">
For with nuickened steps they smiled at
the lad
" And blessed him for his song.

Several of the large cities and many
of the smaller ones are giving more at

and homes with trees, shrubs and flowers
We noticed re ently that Dr. Wisner, a
public spirited citizen of the town of
Larimore, in North Dakota, had ottered
three cash prizes for the neatest and best
kept lawns, the prizes being graded in
value. It ought not to require a distribu
tion of cash to induce people to make
their home surroundings more attractive,
but if it cannot be started in any other
way let hit> example be followed in every
town.
The artistic betterment of a city is not a
fad." It is business. The beautifying
of Paris begun by Napoleon I. and for
warded by Napoleon 111., its adornment
uy splendid public works, the regularity
and beauty cf its streets and buildings
and its fame as a center for the study
of painting ?.nd sculpture, have be^n

THE FAMIL V FORUM
"Scatter
Sunshine
All Along
the Way."
St. Cecelia Sunshine league, and Its
headquarters are at % Fifth a-yenue. New
York.
Miss Eva Augusta "Vescellus, the well
known contralto singer, is president of
the club. For years she has been active
with voice and pen in advocating musi
cal therapeutics, and realizing there were
many "shut-ins" to whom music would
be a tource of great comfort and help,
she conceived the idea of forming a so
ciety.
The object of the league is to ouoply
capable musicians, who can intelligently
interpret instrumental and vocal music,
specially adapted to the need 3of the
sick, and who, as members of the so
ciety, will give a portion of their time
to visiting hospitals, sanitariums' and
private homes, as they are invited, and
thus bring music into the lives of those
who have no other opportunity of en
joying the beneficent influence of music.
A recent report of a concert given In
ore of the largest hospitals in this city
stated that "it was a unique entertain
ment, as music had never befora 1-een
heard in the Ampitheater." It is aot sur
prising that instead of the occasional
concert in hospital and asylum, music
has not gained the recognition that as a
therapeutic it is entitled, and that the
daily use of it does not enter into the
regular hospital practice.
To restore an equilibrium of body, soul
and spirit is the aim of ail who would
heal, and music can often be a potent
factor in the restoration of harmony.
It powerfully influences the minJ, and
when employed with care and discrimina
tion, will often draw the thoughts of the
sufferer away from the contemplation of
his troubles, create a new atmosphere,
mental and physical, by- changing the
discordant vibrations to harmonious cnes,
liberate the"' soul, transporting it up and
out of the narrow personal environment
into a purer realm, where it is reviLal
ized and strengthened. The misuse of
music will do more harm than good, and
unless intelligently employed, had much
better be left alone, for the effect ci the
wrong selection, in the wrong key, at
the wrong time, would be anything but
harmonizing. It is, however, capable of
great life-giving energy in the riands
of one who possesses tact and judgment
in the selection of key, tempo and rhythm
best suited to the needs of the patient,
and one who can choose music that will
vitalize by the healing thought throug .
tone and melody that will expand the
soul and send a thrill of renewfed life
through every fiber of the body, thus re
laxing the nervous tension and -eavmg
a pleasing mental picture.
A musical education and mental prep
aration are essential for this work. I
the musical student with good talent
would "flee ambition" to be a Patti or
nothing, and with the true humility com
pare her gifts with the reauirements of a,
great musician and be honest enough
with herself to admit the lack, and then
turn on the searchlight upon the gifts she
really possesses, and discovers a musical
temperament, sympathetic nature and In
tuitive desire and ability to relieve suf
fering, a quiet, gentle manner, self-con
trol in the presence of pain, and a mind
broad enough to grasp the truths of the
new psychology, she might consider her
self a "candidate for instruction in the
beautiful art of musical healing, for this
is not a work where mere technique,
noise, vanity, false ambition, self-seeking
are required.
The history of music as a healing pow
er is interesting and numerous instances
of its use in the c-;re of disease are re
coreded.
Voltaire declared that his motive In
attending the opera was that music aided
digestion, activity and forced
the blood *to circulate more freely; and
George Sand writes of a friend who had
become Insane and was cured by music:
"How can I ever bless you. my dear mas
ter, who healed so skillfully, and why
should I believe now that music is an art
purely for pleasure or mere enjoyment?
When I remember the surprising effect it
had upon my friend, its eloquence was
more convincing than any philosophy
taught in books."
That the St. Cecelia Sunshine league
may be able to supply-musicians who ar.?
especially adapted by temperament and
gifts for this work, it is sustained in the
same manner as other branches of the
International Sunshine society. "It Is not
a charity." It believes in a fair inter
change of kindly benefits from those who
are helped by its ministry and who wish
to encourage such a work.
The badge of the league is a pin upon
which is stamped the head of St. Cecelia.
The color, violet, which blends beautiful
ly with the yellow and white, the colors
of the club. The fee—some kindness
through music which has brightened the
life of some one. Price of . badge, 5

PAUL AND BARNABAS.
The international Sunday school lesson
for May 25 will be found in Acts xiii.,
43-52. The golden text is the 38th verse:
"Paul and Barnabas, speaking to them,
persuaded them to continue in the grace
of God." These faithful servants of
Christ were in Antioch, and are found in
the synagogue on tha Sabbath day, and,
being invited to speak, Paul begins at
the exodus of Israel from Egypt and
presches unto them Jesus and the resur
rection and through Him the forgive
ness of sins. After the service many ask
to hear those words again the next Sab
bath, and as they followed Paul and
Barnabas they urged them to continue
in the grace of God.
"And the next Sabbath day came al
most the whole city together to hear the
word of God." The sermon of Paul and
Barnabas became the talk of the city and
on r.e.xt Sabbath a great congregation as
sembled to hear the words of life: "But
when the Jews saw the multitudes they
were filled with envy and spake against
those things." The spirit of God was
working and it provoked the adversaries
of Christ. They were stirred by the
strong arguments of these gifted speak
ers.
'"It was necessary that the word of
God should first have been spoken to
you: but seeing ye put it from you and
judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting
life, 10, we turn to the gentiles." To
the Jew first, then to the gentiles, was the
principle acted upon, in all apostolic
preaching.
"I have set thee to be a light of the
gentiles that thou shouldest be for salva
tion unto the ends of the earth." Paul's
commission was to bear the name of the
Lord not only before the children, of
Israel, but before the gentiles, and he
quotes concerning Israel's Messiah, called
the Servant of the Lord. While the mys
tery of the church is not clearly revealed
in. the Old Testament, the calling of the
gentile nations after Israel shall have
been converted ia an oft-repeated fact,
and yet Paul gathers from this passage
something concerning his mission to the
gentiles.
•'And when the gentiles heard this they
were glad and glorified the word of the
Lord, and as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed." This is the work
and the privilege of every redeemed one
for it is written, "Let him that heareth
say come." And if we have received the
gospel for ourselves it is not for our
selves only, but we have been intrusted
with the message that others through us'
may hear it also, and to all4who have not
yet heard we are debtors and should say,
"As much as In me Is I am ready to give
then: the gospel."
The work of Paul and Barnabas was
so successful that the Jews finally stir
red up enough opposition so that they
were compelled to leave Antioch, in the
words of the text "they shook off the
dust of their feet against them and came
unto Iconium." All that we are called
upon to bear for the sake of Christ and
His truth should be borne cheerfully, for
He has taught us to be exceeding glad
and leap for joy under such circum
stances.
"A WORK FOR YOU AND A WORK
FOR ME."
The Christian Endeavor topic is "Mis
sions," and the text is found in I. Corin
thians, xii., 1-10..
The spirit of denominational loyalty
taught and cultivated in the Christian
Endeavor society should arouse the
aeepest kind of interest in the great
benevolent boards of our church, espe
cially the boards of home and foreign
mission, by whatever name they may
be known.
The ignorance of the average church
member concerning the great missionary
agencies and enterprises of his own
church is pathetic and inexcusable. And
ignorance is never inspiring. It may
sometimes be bliss, but it is never a
provoker of good works. Ignorance be
gets indifference a.nd apathy. How can
we be interested unless we know? Yet
how few do know!
How few Endeavorers could name the
benevolent agencies of their church, de
scribe their character, functions and
fields of operation. Thousands of chtirch
members never saw a report of one of
their church boards. Is it any wonder,
then, that we are sometimes careless and
indifferent in our support of the boards?
Go to your pastor, obtain from him lit
erature and reports of the missionary
agencies of your church and make a
special study of them. This will increase
your interest in a great wcrk.
The missionary boards of our churches
should enlist the prayers and hearty
support of every one. Through thorn our
church's work is done, and as the mem
bers of a church all should loyally sup
port its work. The boards are not pri
vate concerns, for the committees that
direct them or the chosen officials who
administer their affairs. They belong to
the whoU> church, and in part to Us as
members of the church. We should
therefore most heartily support them.
They are wisely directed and economical
ly administered.
Many people have the impression that
th# church beards are most expensively
operated, but this is a false impression.
All money is wisely spent. The least pos
sible expense is incuried in applying all
gifts to the purposes for which they are
given. It is a misrepresentation and
usually an excuse for people to say that
the bulk of mission rr cr.ey is used in its
distribution Such is far .from being the
case, as a little investigation on the part
of anyone will shew. Let ua inform our
selves on the work of the boards and
loyally support them.
"SOME MISSIONARY ACHIEVE
MENTS."
The Epworth league topic for May 23
relates to what has been accomplished in
mission work. The text -Us found Zech
iv., 6; 11. Chron. xvi., 9; Ps. cxviii 23-

SHE CAN KEEP COMPANY AS
OFTEN AS SHE PLEASES.
A teacher in the Hall-Moody institute
at Martin. Term., who was recently dis
charged by the trustees on the ground
that she went too much into society, had
a contract for a year's employment, and
she brought suit against the trustees to
compel them either to reinstate her or
j to pay the sala»y which she would have
earned had the conditions of the contract
1 been carried out. A decision was ren
dered in her favor.
The trustees endeavored to show dur
ing the trial that the young lady either
had company or went out three nigftts
a week, which they declared was too
much, on the ground that so much social
indulgence must necessarily unfit a
teacher for her exacting work. They did
not succeed in showing, however, that
Miss, Copass ever failed in her profes
sional duties on the day after a card
party or a friendly call from one of the
1 youth of Martin, and she was able to
demonstrate that these mild frivolities
in no way militated against the per-

THE OLD IS GOOD ENOUGH.
Frederic Harrison tells us in a recent
magazine article that he appealed to
George Eliot for "some equivalent for
family prayer" for his positivist children.
She replied that she was unequal to the
construction of a "liturgy." Someone
recently responded to a similar request
by the production of the following even
ing prayer for a child:

Softly may slumber creep

Furthermore she denied the right of "a
passel of old fogies" to dictate how often
a young lady might have company or go
into society, provided always she* was a
well-bred and self-respecting young per
son, and performed her duties as well as
others whose attention to social festiv
ities was less marked.
The court, tendering a decision in the
young lady's favor, declared that no
trustees have a right to specify how
often a teacher may "keep company."
"Three nights a week is not too often "
said the court, "whether the lady's beau
calls on all three evenings or whether
she divides her time in various ways."
The teacher, the feminine teacher, is a
down-trodden and oppressed Individual
and everyone mvst be glad to have one
of her natuiaS rights thus clearly and
satisfactorily vindicated. The feeling on
the part of trustees, superintendents and
principals that they are called upon to
regulate the. division of time of the over

a blight, and We congratulate the courts

The trouble with eliminating God from

leaves the aspiring soul, nothing definite
to which to aspire. It Is easier even for
a little child to lift oneself toward some
thing great and good than simply to lift
oneself in the void, that the absence of
any conception of deity leaves round
about human life. As compared with
"Now I lay me," the above metrical as
piration is woefully lacking even from
the literary point of view.

HIGH PRICES~FOR MEAT.

meat -problem that is agitating the peo
ple at this time. Extremely high- prices
will' lessen consumption. This will de

i HE FORGOT;
ReS Oak, lowa, had a $250,000 fire re
cently. A man cut off the water supply
from the station to repair a standpipe,
the day before the fire and forgot to fix
it when he got through. Fire broke out
—no pressure— knew what the
trouble was. When the fire had burned
itself out the man remembered the cut
off.
MORMON GROWTH.
'No wonder the Mormons multiply so
rapidly. We notice in the account*of
the reunion of Brigham Young's family
that there were 56 children, 294 . grand
children and already there are 745 great
grardchildren. A total of over a thou

since the Civil war probably breaks the
record. -

their lives to be chaste, knightly, faith

WHAT DO YOU THINK OP HIM?
The presbytery of New Jersey h*»s
granted H. R. Wright a license to preach,
although he expressed the belief that
Adam and Eve were mythical persons.
But as he agreed not to preach such doc
trines, he was given his license. From
this we judge that according to the New
Jersey presbyters a minister can believe ;
what he pleases as long as he will preach
what his church superiors tell him to
But what kind of a man can do that?
' CONSOLIDATION.
Most of the arguments given in favor
or consolidation of schools would apply
equally,-as well to the consolidation of
churches, or. family households. TheoretK
cally, it would be cheaper and better in
many ways, but churches, families and
country school districts seem to prefer in
dependent existence. It's like the wom

fact is that women don't want to vote.

HIS ADDRESS.
A distinguished but irritable Scotch
lecturer was summoned to speak in a
small town, and it chanced that h 9 met
with a more than usually loquacious
chairman This genius actually spoke
for a whole hour in "Introducing" the
lecturer. He wound up by saying- "it
is unnecessary for me to say more' but
call upon the talented gentleman who
has come so far to give us his address

How many people know 1 that the
monument that Laban and Jacob set
up near the borders of Canaan and call
ed Mizpah, or a lookout, was erected
in suspicion rather than love? The lit
eral meaning was this: "The Lord watch
between thee and me when we are
absent one • from the other, and see that
you are not up to some new trick as
soon as my back is turned." -So when it
Is inscribed in an engagement ring it
ight mean, : "The Lord watch and see
that you do not flirt when we are ab

HOW TCTLIMIT THE PEST.
Until recent years people~generally were
rather of the opinion that house flies
were more beneficial to mankind than
injurious. There may be instances f.ven
yet when they act as useful scavengers,
although it is now believed that the ex
tent to which they carry disease, to
gefciier with their ability to cause an
noyance to the human race, renders tnem
an out-and-out pest to mankind. The
season is now approaching for their an
nual visitation, and we feel assured that
they are hailed in but few Instances with
any degree of delight.
The life history of the house fly Is as
follows: The eggs are laid in decaying
vegetable matter, or in manure around
stables, especially around horse stables.
In a few hours after the eggs are de
posited the larva comes forth.- This live 3
about five days in the form commonly
known as maggot, after which It goes
into the pupa or dormant state. It pass
es four or five days in this condition,
after which it comes forth as a perfect
't^tsftb 'stid. -Epssg Eih
OPINION OF DOCTORS.
Doctors and scientists will tell you that
health and long life depend more on a
proper diet, properly prepared, than upon
anything else. Yet the majority of us
are very careless as to -what we eat or
how.it is cooked, but depend on the doc
tor and drug shop to pull us out of the
quagmire of sickness Into which we have
deliberately walked.
Tho trouble Is that in the matter of
diet doctors disagree. Politics or relig-_
ion uill precipitate no warmer debate"
than will burst forth among a crowd of
food enthusiasts when meat eating or
vegetarianism is broached.
But scientific decisions now eeem to
lean to the side of the vegetarians. Ufe
insurance companies are reducing rates
to vegetarians, and it is a well known fart
that heavy meat caters are afflicted with
rheumatism, gout and kindred ills.
• • •
Whether we completely abstain from
meat or not is for us individually to de
cide. But it would be well to addmoro
vegetables to our daily menu. The list
of vegetables is a long one. and each is
capable of diversified cooking, so the bill
of fare need not be monotonous.
One reason the American people are so
given to meat eating is the indifferent
cooking of vegetables. The vegetables
sent to the table are often a tasteless,wa-

It is believed by those who ha

that" all manures should be taken to the

destruction of millions of these insects.
Some idea may be obtained of the rate
at which these pests multiply when it is

tery mess, unpalatable and unsightly. But
vegetables properly cooked "are delicious.
And since they are so absolutely essential
to health, it would behoove the housewife
to give some little time and thought to
their cooking and serving. If she will do
this, she will find her family becoming,
if not vegetarians, exceedingly warm
friends of the fruits of the earth. And
what is of more importance, the doc

and the family health, improved.

If vegetables are uncovered when cook
ing there will be no odor through the
house. Even cabbage, onions, turnips and
other vegetables with a perfumery fac
tory attached will bo perfectly "harm

at or below the- boiling point.
All vegetables that grow underground
should be cooked in unsalted water.

growing on top of the ground—preserve
their color better in salted water.
