KIND HEARTS MORE THAN CORO
NETS.
Dear Little Mother: “Kind hearts
are more than coronets and simple
faith than Norman blood.”
That quotation has always im
pressed me very forcibly. As a child,
I marveled at its divine meaning, and
as I grew older, the beauty of it be
came sweeter, because I was better
able to understand all that it im
plies.
I am sure every one would rather
have a kind heart than a coronet.
There are so many heartless rulers.
So many who scarcely know what it
is to be kind. How much better to
wear the coronet of kindness in the
heart with its priceless gems of self
denial and forbearance than to have a
coronet of gold, studded with dia
monds, upon the head. “Man looketh
upon the outward appearance, but
God looketh upon the heart.”
How few of us know what simple
faith is! Most of our faith consists
of a vague, undefined something. Our
faith should be pure, true and simple.
Would that the faith of our childhood
could remain with us always. Often
I have gotten to philosophizing, so to
speak, and to wondering about the
why and wherefore of things, and my
mind would get all tangled up. Then
I would go back to simple faith. That
alone sufficeth. That alone can bring
the peace which we so much desire,
which the world can not give, nor
take away, and which is a vital part
of a Christian’s life.
With best wishes,
JULIA IVERSON LANE.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
Dear Little Mother and Circle:
After studying for a long time, trying
to find a suitable subject and one that
would do some one a little good, if but
a little, I decided on this, and, al
though I am not capable of explain
ing the subject fully, I shall try in
my feeble way to write, on the great
subject, “Knowledge is Power.”
The right kind of knowledge is,
everything. It is the key to fame.
Through it anything can be accom
plished. If we desire to become a
great writer, a great poet, or anything
worth while, we must first have
knowledge. It rules the world, in a
greater sense than almost anything
else.
Think of going into society without
an education! How would we* feel?
What would we say 9 Nothing in the
right place. We would feel awkward,
out of place and ever in the way.
Take an uneducated person in busi
ness, and what can he do?
He can’t do anything, because he
is not fitted for the business world.
Then, if knowledge means all this,
we must try to acquire it. Look at
the young minds which, if developed,
would grow to something great and
good, that are growing up without an
education of any kind, in perfect ig
norance.
And where there is ignorance there
is vice. If our minds are not stored
up with valuable lessons they will be
come vain, idle, frivolous and good
for nothing.
An education once acquired can
never be taken from us. Wealth may
be lost, but never an education. Then,
boys and girls, strive and strive with
all your power to gain an education,

The Increasing Popularity of “Good Luck”
One of the best ways in the world
to judge of the merits of an article
is to ascertain if the people demand
and use it in increasing quantities
each year. Put to such a test “GOOD
LUCK” Baking Powder measures up,
and more.
Each year the demand for this fa
mous powder grows greater and great
er. Often the dealer finds that his
sales double within a few months.
Carload after carload has to be bought
to fill the wants of the people.
and all other things will come later.
Bear the one great motto in mind,
“Strive.”

Although you have not heard from
me in a long time, I feel 1 am s’all
one of the Circle. I am a member
of the Junior Missionary Society of
our church. My sister is secretary
and treasurer-of the society. We
have nice little meetings twice a
month. I am interested in the mis
sionary work. I think we should all
be. We ought to be very thankful
for the nice homes we have, and a
papa and mamma that will care for
us. I have heard some children
grumble when they come to the table
to eat because they didn’t have just
what they wanted. I think if they

When we go to buy luxuries, things
we don’t really need, we ought to
think of the heathen and their need
of the gospel, and send it to them.
Suppose you had neighbors that were

I have just read Little Mother’s

for February 18, and was very much
pleased with it. 1 suppose we are
permitted to take any subject we
may choose, therefore my subject is,

The boundaries and population of our
country at the time of Taylor’s
