WHY?
Why, when the sun shines brightly,
Do we so often look away,
And seek only for the shadows,
That along our path way stray?
Why do we turn so coldly
From our loved ones, weighted with
care,
When a tender smile or kindly word
Might lighten the burden they bear?
Why do we falter so often
Over words from the heart’s deep
well;
While ever, without our volition,
Trip sound that to discord swell?
Why do we hide our real self
’Neath manner so scornful or cold
That only those who know us best
E’er catch a glimpse of the gold?
Why do we cover so carefully
All of the heart’s deep, yearning love,
And act as tho we cared not
For the gift sent from above?
Is it that evil is stronger
In this dual nature of ours?
Will always the weeds grow faster
And smother out the flowers?
Or is our life like the ocean —
In its depths lie treasures galore,
While seldom ought but empty shells
Does it cast upon the shore.

God’s way is best
Tho dark it may seem,
If we lift our eyes
We’ll catch the gleam
Os heaven’s own rays
From its portals beam,
For the end of His way is light.
God’s way is best
Tho narrow and steep,
For his staff will aid
While we onward creep,
And over our footsteps
He’ll watch-care keep,
And the end is smooth and bright.
Social Suggestions a Barrier in Every
School Boy’s Path
Boston, Mass., May 17. —Social sug
gestion is usually responsible when
boys “go to the bad,” in the opinion of
Prof. M. V. O’Shea, of Wisconsin uni
versity, who addressed the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent-
Teacher association last night.
Lessons on the effects of alcohol
and tobacco, and sex education would
not prevent the development of habits
that waste the energy of youth, he
said. Boys need protection from sug
gestions forced upon them.
“It is generally agreed that the chief
danger to the boy is that he will give
himself up to vice,” said Prof. O’Shea.
“The impulses that lead him in this
direction are the strongest in his being
and unfortunately he can hardly turn
around in a modern city without an
appeal to these impulses.
“These suggestions come in the sit
uations presented in plays, in the songs
and the dances of all kinds and in all
the suggestions of the stage. The
most potent of all is the appeal made
to him on the street by those who
make their livin gthereby.”
It makes my heart glad to be able
to reprint the above from a daily
newspaper first, because it is very
refreshing to see space given in a
A Student’s Vacation in Switzerland
Dear Home Circle: Leaving Leysin
yesterday, I arrived here toward even
ing. It snowed for several days while
I was at Leysin so that the last day
the snow was about one and a half
feet deep.
Montreux is very famous station at
the head of Lake Geneva not far from
the castle of Chillon. You hear nearly
all languages on the streets here but
French is the official language. Near
ly all the Swiss speak at least two
languages and French, German and
Italian are official languages in differ
ent cantons of Switzerland.
This morning, which is a beautiful,
cool day, I rented a row boat and row
ed over to the castle of Chillon in
about a half hour. The lake was very
quiet and beautiful though sometimes
these Swiss lakes are very rough.
Chillon is quite picturesques and has
been made famous in all parts of the
world by Byron’s “Prisoner of Chil
lon.” This morning droves of sea
gulls were flying about the old walls of
row-boats were in the lake near by.

GOD’S WAY IS BEST.
Bessie M. Marr, Brookhaven, Miss.
God’s way is best,
Tho a cross we bear,
For every burden
He will share,
And his tender love
Lightens each care,
And the end of His way is rest.
God’s way is best,
For his own dear Son
Bore the cross
And the victory won,
And awards the crown
When the journey’s done;
And so His way is best.

daily to things other than sensational
and hurtful.
Next, I am glad that the world is
beginning to realize the subtly poison
ous and ruinous influence of the evils
enumerated, especially that of the
dance and the ridiculous, disgusting
form of dress that “those who make
their living thereby” use as an appeal
through the evil suggestions. And,
worst of all, the dress that so many
thoughtless girls adopt and more
thoughtless mothers allow them to
adopt.
But, most of all, I am glad that the
world is waking up to the long-neg
lected truth that the solving of our
social evils lies overwhelmingly at
the door of training for our boys from
infancy to manhood —and here lies the
greatest God-given right woman could
have .
How I wish it were possible to burn
the words deep down into the heart
of every teacher, that God will re
quire of us the life with its influences,
in so much as it is possible for us to
touch them, of every pulpit it has been
out privilege to touch. We are glad
to have these good letters and hope
to have more next week.
LITTLE MOTHER.
ican flag is on a good many of the
hotels and other buildings. There are
numbers of large fine hotels here as
it is quite a fashionable place.
I came from Leysin because of the
bad weather there and because of the
beautiful spring weather here. Mon
treux is just below Leysin and an
electric incline runs up to the village.
It was interesting in coming down
from Leysin where there were eigh
teen inches of snow and regular win
ter weather, where the water would
freeze in the rooms at night, and no
tice from the car windows how the
snow became thinner as we descended
and finally stopped, and a little farther
down the trees were in full bloom.
Yesterday I took a walk up to the old
castle of Blonay situated on the shady
hights between Montreux and Verey.
It is private property and not open
to visitors but the grounds are quite
romantic as seen from the outside.
All of the old towers are covered with
ivy and moss and the stone walls of
the building are so old that they are
already crumbling. It is similar in
appearance to Chillon though not at
all famous. I am boarding in a very
SPEECHLESS FOR THANKS.
Mena, Ark. —“I find Cardui to be all
you represent,” writes Mrs. H. B.
York, of this city. “I suffered from
womanly ailments for nearly two years
before I tried Cardui. I have been
so relieved since taking it I cannot
say enough in its praise. It has done
me a world >f good, and I recommend
Cardui to all women.” Cardui is over
50 years old, and the demand is great
er today than ever. Cardui is the
standard, tonic medicine, for women
of every age. Would you like to be
well and strong? Then take Cardui.
Its record shows that it will help you.

nice pension for the short time I am
here. They speak beautiful French,
too. The teacher is quite an expe
rienced woman and seems to know the
art of teaching well. It is unfortu
nate, however, that one can forget a
language so quickly and get out of
practice in speaking so easily. Os
course one picks it all up again very
quickly, but it is necessary to have
an opportunity for conversation to
talk quite easily.
We are in the parlor now and one
of the ladies is playing some of the
well known preludes and polonnaises
of Chopin which are played so often
at the college. What floods of mem
ories a distant strain of a melody can
call to mind! What thrills of the soul!
It is the international language, in
words of Luther’s friend, Melancht
hon, “the theology of the heart.” The
lady has just played “Shadow Plays”
which I heard played softly on a zether
in a Bohemian inn of the Riesengbirge
when I went there Christmas. Just a
measure of that took me at once back
to the snow covered range of moun
tains in Schlesien with a pair of skies
and deep snow. My violin will be of
little use to me perhaps, as I have
little time for it, but I shall always be
glad I learned it for the educational
and cultural effects and because it
gave me such an appreciation and love
for music. I believe, hovzever, it is
better for a child to learn one instru
ment well and later on if desired a lit
tle about one other than for him to
study several instruments, expression,
vocal, book-keeping, art and so many
other specials and not have time to
excel in anything. I think there ought
to be some one thing in which every
child ought to be taught to excel —it
ought to be that which he himself
loves best. Everything else ought to
give way to this.
The time has about come when I
will have to leave these beautiful
mountains and lakes and return to
Liepzig. Nearly every morning I take
a row of an hour or so on Lake Gen
eva —either to the picturesque castle
of Chilion or to the famous Villa on
the Isle of Salganon or Clarens or to
other beautiful spots not too far away.
This morning I took the little son of
an elegant Dutch lady who lives in
Java with me. He is about twelve
years of age. Since he has lived in
Java quite a long time he speaks ex
