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. the castle and several sail-boats and There are a great many Americans in Montreux at present and the Amer- The Golden Age for May 22, 1913. 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. 0000000 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. Begin today Why wait? 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 four months here he has learned to cellent Malay and during his stay of STOPS TOBACCO HABIT Elders’ Sanitarium, located at 1017 Main St., St. Joseph, Mo., has publish ed a book showing the deadly effect of the tobacco habit, and how it can be stopped in three to five days.
