“The Only Failure in the Family’’ By Mrs. A. Smith Irvine. My one regret as I read the current literature of today, comparing it with that of half a century ago, when Bul wer, Dickens, Thackary and others, both men and women, held the fields, is that much of it does not measure up to she old standard. In many ways is this true, most of all in purity and high tone; so that sometimes I lay it aside, with a bad taste in my mouth and sorrow at heart for the young men and women who are feed ing on such unwholesome stuff, unac quainted with the pure, healthful as well as enjoyable food that preceded it, which was to the upbuilding of character, not demoralization. Hence I confess to a great delight in the perusal of the story of “The Only Failure in the Family” by An ne Warner, in the Ladies’ Home Jour nal for July. It is one of the finest (and there are other good ones there) that I have enjoyed for a long time. The whole story is so natural and on a high moral plain, making one pause to think what life really means, and of the quiet ways the Master takes to train human souls into his likeness; of she compensations he gives; his own companionship in lieu of earthly friends; great wealth of possession instead of earthly riches; soul-peace in place of unrest and tur moil within; conquest and victory at last! To Gottfried, to whom everything had seemed to be denied, save only submission, duty and care —came, as from the very presence of the Mas ter, consent, joy, happiness and what more in all this world of greed, suc cess and wealth could the man’s soul desire to receive? What honor does the story put upon the simple life; upon contant and faithful performance of that which lies next to hand and how rich the re ward. Surely to read this story must in spire the many hard, tired ones to per severe, to go nobly and bravely to the end; it should sweeten many lives, making them also “to suffer and be strong!” How the study of this story throws light upon the dark paths we so offen tread and gives courage to our faint ing spirits, teaching us with a sweet insistance to look up and hope, until in some rare moment the soul throws open wide her doors and receives the immeasurable benediction of the Mas ter, and the great of reward is at hand! With Gottfried, the first step to all this glory was that simple A. B. C. of heart-tuition: “To be silent and not complain?’ The second upward step (and a high one it was) brought him “complete surrender,” while she third and last stride took him to the sum mit, where peace and happiness encir cled him, and thus he accomplished the trinity of a perfect life! The struggle had been written with in the soul of a poor shepherd, in syl van surroundings of herds and valleys just as it constantly goes on every- THE SPREAD OF TYPHOID FEVER and other infectious diseases to other mem bers of the family and to neighbors can be safely prevented by dissolving a tea spoonful of Tyree’s Antiseptic Powder in two teacupsful of boiling water, adding this to each stool and keeping stools pro tected from flies.

So shall a little leaven silently leav en the whole lump and many people learn Gottfried’s great lesson which brought him “something dearer than love, richer than wealth, better than success.” Verily, a beautiful life! Dear Little Mother: It is with a sad and aching heart that I try to write once more. I have been real sick and was improv ing a little, and the shock of our Mater's going away seemed almost more than I could bear in my weak ened condition. Yet I know the Lord doeth all things well and for the best, and I always try to submit and say, “Thy will be done, dear Lord.” But our Mater’s death was not only a loss to me, but to so many others, who, no doubt, loved her as much as I did—but (no more. She was a grand, noble woman. Her heart was full of love for all mankind, and she did what she could for every one. We can never replace her for very few such women are born into this world. Tongue nor pen can portray the beau ties of her life. She has earned her rest, and, glory to God! she Js now enjoying it —our loss is her gain. She is today reveling in the beauties of Paradise, while we are toiling and waiting for our summons to come. I would have gone to her funeral if I had been able. I had a beloved brother-in-law to go away soon after the Mater and I was not ableto go to him either. But my work is not yet done for I am slowly improving and will soon be able to go about whatever the Master wants me to do. I have not earned my rest yet, but, glory to His Holy Name! when I do earn it, I hope to meet dear Meb over there with all the loved ones gone before —and such a reunion we will have! When life’s stormy scenes are over how sweet will our rest be over there with the Master and our loved ones, his presence lighting all our pleasures. Oh, what a happy day that will be! I want all of dear Meb’s family to let her life be a guiding star to lead them to all good things upon this earth and to meet her in that glor ious land, where parting nevermore comes. Then what glorious times we will have over there shaking hands with our unknown family, here on earth, and giving praises to our God forevermore. We all must try our best to keep up our Mater’s department as nearly as we can as she would have done. Now, may God bless Mother Meb’s individual family and help them all to live so as to meet her in the glory land, and also her Household, too, is the prayer of THE OLD WOMAN.
