by those who know me best, that I
always plucked a thistle and planted
a flower, where I thought a flower
would grow.” And if we look about
us we will find flowers growing where
we least expected them to grow—in
byways and hedges—and they need
nurture and cultivation to grow into
something lovely. And thistles, some
times, grow in beautiful flower gar
dens. Life is a conglomerate mixture
of bitter and sweet —flowers and this

That keepeth the sands all golden,
Which fast through the glass have
run.”

PASTIMES OF TODAY VERSUS
YESTERDAY.
In our grandmother’s time, ladies
were too busy in their house, to have
thought for alluring temptations. Not
only did all the sewing have to be done,
but cloth must first be made —thread
spun for the cloth and knitting and
sometimes silk thread for sewing thread
and embroidery was made from silk
worms. Even sewing machines and
stores were unknown to many and the
garments had to be made with the fin
gers and food cooked in pots and ov
ens in a fire place. Again, paint was
hardly known and chairs, tables and
buckets had to be scoured several times
a week. Floors also were kept im
malculate with “home made” lye soap
and a large shuck scouring mop. Oh
the work of those days! And yet, there
were no complaint of nerves. Then
there were quiltings where “home

pieced” quilts were gotten ready for
winter.
In winter hogs were killed —lard and
sausage made, sugarcane ground and
syrup made. There was not any time
for clubs in those busy days. But the
young boys and girls had their fun
and frolic. You would know if you
will let them tell you about it.
Ladies, young and old, with so many
home duties, had little time for liter
ary pursuits or pastime in card and
literary clubs. Their hands were full
of service to others.

CHRISTIAN MARTYRS GIVEN TO THE LIONS 1 1
CHRISTIANITY is the greatest fact in history. The early Christians endured 11
martyrdom rather than forsake principle. The picture shown herewith from Ridpath’s 1 1
history, depicts 87,000 people assembled in the Coliseum at Rome to witness the Christians given to the lions. I 1
In such a scene may be read the inevitable doom of the Empire that ruled the world. The blood of the Martyrs I I
is the seed from which Christian civilization sprang. If you would know the history of mankind—every sacrifice for I I
principle, every struggle for liberty, every conflict and every achievement, from the dawn of civilization down to the I I
present time—then embrace this splendid opportunity to place in your home the world-famed publication
