that grief stricken daughter, she need
have no fear about her father’s mind
if he had followed in the footsteps of
Jesus and trusted Him. I have seen
good men; I have heard good
men preach; but I have never
been impressed by any man, by
any preacher, by any writing, out
of the Bible, like I have by
the simple fa s th of a few women I
have met. I have heard them talk
about the future just like every-day
affairs.
Their faith was from the example
of their mothers’ lives. No wonder so
many boys on the battlefields in their
dying moments send word back to
mother. Home is said to be the sweet
est, most consoling word in the Eng
lish language. But it is not. Mother
surpasses every word in any language.
While-'my mother was alive, when I
w r as sick, the touch of her hand, the
smoothing of my pillow, or the tuck
ing of the cover about my feet, by
mother’s hand, did me more good and
relieved more pain than all the medi
cines I ever took.
Bless the name of mother.
(Signed) FAITH.

A GIRL ON A FARM.
Won’t you allow me to chat just a
little while with our country members,
some of whom seem to be pining for
the large and busy life of the city?
It is to these restless, discontented
ones I fain would speak, hoping to sow
some little seed of comfort in some
soul that at present repines against
his lot.
Country life has greatly changed for
the better now and we can now enjoy
some of the conveniences of the city
while we still retain the dear delights
of our rural surroundings. And
though we live afar from the “madden
ing crowd” we are not wholly the
losers thereby, for in the solitude of
God’s out-doors we have leisure to real
ly think; to calmly meditate on the
great problems of the age, —to form
just estimates, and to really grasp es
sential truths that our hurried city
brothers have little time to see. We
also have a neart more at leisure to
“soothe and sympathize” and can. if
we wish, prove of genuine service to
our fellowman.
Though we may be denied the con
certs and grand operas with their sub
lime orchestral harmony, and their
human voices so like an angel’s melo
dy, we are not shut away from the
chorus of glad birdsong, greeting in a
flood of sweet melody the dawning of
each day; we still can hear the
breezes sighing through the wondrous
silence of the forest, or the delicious
gurgling of the brooklet that seems
to embody happiness in its gay chatter
over the opposing stones.
And our city cousins miss one of the
chief delights of life in not being able
to dream with us through these golden
September days—real poet’s days
these, with their bracing mornings,
their languorous noons, their hazy,
golden afternoons and their en
chanting evenings. They miss, too,
the nicest pears temptingly hid
ing among their leaves, the juicy
sweetness of the sugar-cane, and the
scarlet beauty of the pomegranates,—
those bright jewel caskets packed
with glistening rubies, the delicious
flavor of the scuppernongs that hold

in dusky globes the nectar of the gods.
Oh yes, life is indeed worth living in
the country and our city cousins in
their stuffy homes or offices can not
feel the wine of life singing so gladly
through their veins as we, who, though
isolated, can say, “bliss it is to be
alive and to be young is very heaven!”
And there are our dear friends, the
books! Poet, essayist, novelist, they
are all at our command! With Ten
nyson we can dream away these gold
en days in the enchanted land of the
“Lotus Eaters” on the moonlit garden
of “Maud”; —with Emerson we can
delve into the deep mystery of the
Over Soul or brace our sinews with
his clarion call to Self Reliance;
Browning bids us be brave with Rabbi
Ben Ezra and whispers messages of
strength and hope in our ears, while
novelists whisk us across the sea, to
London or to “gay Paree” or lead us
along the avenues of “swell New
York,” etc., etc. Nor let us forget the
daily papers and the magazines (hat
keep us in touch with the vital move
ments and enable us to “keep up with
the procession.”
Now, we must not omit from our
list of country pleasures, the great joy
flowers give us, for in their cultiva
tion there is not only pleasure, but
health for mind and body. Fancy
work too, is very fascinating to us, the
feminine members, and really charms
away many an hour that otherwise
might be claimed by loneliness.
One more word, dear Meb, and I’ll
run!
I have found that the best way to
keep really “alive” is to have some
definite mental work each day. Last
winter I took a correspondence course
from the University of Chicago on the
“Great English Novelists of the Nine
teenth Century,” the course consisting
of the lives and certain of the works
of Jane Austin, George Elliot, Walter
Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and R. L.
Stevenson.
I am now at work on a course from
the same university on “Shakespeare’s
Typical Plays,” embracing “Henry
1V.,” “Othello,” “As You Like It,” “An
tony” and “Cleopatra,” “Lear” and the
“Tempest.” This work is most stim
ulating and helpful to any one.
But “enough,” I hear you say, so
just allow me to confess my obliga
tions to Arthur Goodenough for his
inspiring poetry and my love to all
the Householders. “ROSALIND”

FLOWERS FOR A SICK FRIEND.
Flowers are our best interpreters,
The earnest clasp of friendship’s hand,
The words which thrill at love’s com
mand,
The blessings of a grateful heart,
The prayers of those estranged—
apart,
And weary of their loneliness
The mute, sweet wish of these express.
Take them my little messengers,
The balmy breath of dawn with them,
The sunlight warm on leaf and stem,
Twin charm to chase on fleetest wing
The weary hours of suffering.
Take them, my friend, within them
lies
What speech unto the soul denies
Os all that soul has felt or meant,
Oh leaf and bloom be eloquent!
