UNENDING.
. Anon, tn All the Tear Round.
Ttoer* Is on end to kisses and to sighs
There to an end to taughter and to tears.
An end to fair things that delight our eyes.
An wj to pleasant sounds that charm our
An end to enmity's foul libeling. *
And to the gracious praise of tender friend;
There to an end to alt but one sweet thing—
TO love there to no end.
That warrior curved an empire with his sword;
The empire now to but like him—a name:
That statesmen spoke and by a burning word
Kindled a nation's heart Into a flame;
Now naught to left but ashes, and wo bring
Our homage to new men: to them we bend.
There to an end to all but one sweet thing—
To love there to no end.
AH beauty fades away, or else, alas*
Men’s eyes grow dim. and they no beauty see;
The glorious ahosrs of nature pass and pass;
Quickly they came, as quickly do they floe.
Aad he who hears the votes of welcoming
Heers next the slow, sad farewell of hto
fritnd.
There to an end to an but one sweet thing—
To love there to no end.
Venturing Into Deep Water.
Every day records the death of soma
venturesome person who is fond of get
ting into deep water, but Is unlucky about
getting out again.
Hunmankind seems to be generally built
that way. Where you find one person who
refuses to go in at all. and wtio shuns
water like a hydrophobiac. you will find
nine at least that will try the tempting
exercise.
When you go to seashore resorts, you
will seee bathers of all sixes, ages and
conditions delighted to get Into the surf,
and I have seen old folks away out. cling

young and still active in athletic sports.

A number of sad occurrences have been
chronicled to Georgia during the present
summer.
Happy homes have been suddenly plung
ed into deepest grief when everything was
Mtthe and gay a moment before.
Two instances come Into mind as this
article progresses, that happened within
a few days of each other, both near Sa
vannah. I «.
Two lovely sisters were at Tyhee on a
fair, beautiful day. the mother chaperon
ing a gay party of lovely maidens, and
the father not far away on a swift sail
ing boat, but the sisters went beyond
their depth and were swept out to sudden
death almost tn an Instant of time, with
• agonised parents convulsed with grief
and helpless to rescue looking on.
Another—a young AUantian. who arriv
ed in the morning to join a brilliant house
i party on the river and went to his watery
" grave in less than half a day later.
When a ship goes down at sea we are
not surprised that some passengers are
lost, but It seems a hard fate when pleas
ure-seekers are overwhelmed by the wat
ers on a sunshiny day. and with no ap
parent call to go beyond their depth.
How little we know of the future ahead
of us!
When I was a bit of a girl we lived
quite near a river, and ft made a bend
about the premises, so that we could see
the flowing waters from various points
of view
One day a friend came to visit my par
ents. his conveyance being driven by his
favorite man-servant, and when every
body In the house was giving the good
• friend a joyful welcome a cry of alarm
was heard and my mother reached the
back piazza In time to see this man-ser
vant and two fine horses strugllng in the
river and the man rose to the surface
for the last time as she gazed on the
piteous sight.
The faithful senant had unharnessed
hie horses and went to the river bank
to water them, riding one and leading
the other.
Before he had gone tn five steps they
plunged Into deep water and only one
horse scrambled out after the accident.
The gloom that filled the home and our
old friend's grief over his dead body-ser
vant was an Incident never to be forgot
ten. "In the midst of life we are In
death.** I
If the drowned man had only been
careful to inquire as to a safe watering
place his life might have been saved.
It will be well for all of us to be ex
ceedingly careful in such ventures.
Little By
• Little by little, sure and slow.
We fashion our future of bliss or woe.
As the present passes away.
Our feet are climbing the stairway bright
Up to the region of endless light.
Or gliding downward Into the night.
Little by little, day by day.”
There is a whole sermon as patience,
forbearance, seal and duty In these lines
that have been ringing tn mind tonight
We fashion our future by cultivating
good or bad habits, by indulging in good
or bad thoughts, by leading good or evil
lives and by reaching up toward "endless
• tight" or going down into the night.
Habits formed in early life have untold
Influence on all of our lives.
The boy that seeks rowdy company,
that likes to listen to "smutty tales."
that reads bad books and sneers at those
who decline to do as he does is in the
broad and easy way that goes down Into
the night.
The habit of loose and afterward filthy
language is like the tobacco and whisky
habit—a hard one to overcome.
Some boys really think it is smart to
swear and jeer at serious things. If the
example is found In their own homes, then
the habit becomes second nature very
soon.
And how a dirty epithet or vulgar say
ing will linger.in one’s mind! It will come
up in memory with marvelous facility.
I heard of a careful mother who had
tried In vain to stop her little boy from
uttering dirty sayings. Whipping was
of no avail. One day she called the of
fender to the family wash place and gave
the youngster’s mouth a good scouring
with soap and water. The little urchin
cried and spluttered, but she rubbed his
mouth and lips vigorously with a wash
rag filled with soap subs. "Now, my
young man,” said she, "every time your
mouth is fouled with dirty words your
mother proposes to scour the filthy place
until you quit it.”
It was a lesson that did the work for
Suffering Women.

the boy. The whippings he could sub
mit to, but the scourings were intoler
able.
If we are to give an account for all our
hasty words and actions it is a duty we
owe to ourselves and those that follow
our example to reach up to clean
thoughts and words and actions, because
we are busy fashioning our future lives
for weal or woe, "little by little, day by
day.”
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God,” said the Savior, because
nothing but purity of heart will be ad
mitted into the presence of the Almighty
Maker.
"Dare to do right, dare to be true.
The fallings of others can never save you;
Stand by your conscience, your honor,
your faith.
Stand like a hero and battle till death."
School* Open Again.
With the advent 'of September the
schools begin and hundreds of thousands
of school children commence another term
of school life with all it stands for to
them now and hereafter.
Colleges and high schools are getting
ready for the more advanced pupils, and
it will require only a few days for the
mammoth educational machine to start
up regularly for another scholastic year.
I am acquainted with a dear lad who Is
an orphan boy, but happily situated in
the family of beloved relatives and guar
dians. He took the honors In his class
and received hl* certificate of scholarship
last term. He felt he must now go to
another school to fit himself for a busi
ness life. When he told me he was going
away from home to boarding school I
could well Imagine what will be his lone
ly feelings in a strange school and among
strange faces. As I gazed Into his noble
boyish face and bad* him good-bye I
couiu hardly restrain my tears. I did
take the liberty of giving htm a motherly
kiss, with a “God bless you” attached to
It-
This going away is his debut into the
wide, wide world. After he thus steps
across the threshold of childhood's home
he is not exactly the same boy any more.
He has in large measure put away child
ish things and entered upon the serious
duties of life.
It is a long step, forward, and I feel
sure this precious orphan boy will do his
part well and nobly. Nevertheless my
heart was filled with strong emotion
wnen he bade me adieu, for I could un
derstand what he must encounter that he
yet knows nothing about, and I hope the
good Lord will keep my little friend under
the shauow of His protecting wing.
After the pleasure and relaxation of
vacation it is always a little difficult to
■.art on a regular course of study with
school confinement. Later on the work
grows easier and something monstrous.
But every observer of passing events is
capable of understanding the meaning and
importance of beginning in the right way
a new year in public school education,
lue training of immortal minds is the
highest calling known to the human race,
and It is well for teachers, equally with
pupils, to feel Impressed with the respon
sibilities of their position and an impar
tial estimate of their own fitness for the
undertaking, will go a long way toward
stimulating both seal and Integrity in
their vocation.
' Little children are so confiding In their
attachment* to a favorite teacher that a
teacher is not only an instructor in books
but an example in manners, habits, dress
and conversation.
And it la a perfectly natural sequence
to aw every day experience. I know a
little boy who has lately begun his first
school attendance and hl* love for his
young teacher is touching In its childish
fervor and confidence. No matter where
he sees the teacher—at church or on the
street or in a crowd—the little boy is
looking out tor this young man, who la
decidedly the most Important personage
in the youngster s life outside of his own
family. The teacher represents to the
little boy his first intimate friendship and
association with the world. Perhaps the
complexion of that small child’s life will
be colored by the teachers' influence and
example upon it.
If It lay in my power to whisper a good
word in the ear* of all of our numerous,
teachers I would say "Seek to instruct
the child, of course, but do not fail to
make the child love you.”
Protect the confidence the child displays
toward you and do not ever forget that
there Is no neutral ground in this busi
ness for the teacher will either do thechlld
good or harm If they are kept together.
And a good teacher—a kind, sympathis
ing Instructor—l* such a blessing to the
child, when the two are well agreed In
essentials, fundamentals of duty, honor
and affection.
Discipline is a good thing, it is true, but
harshness is a common error with the
thoughtless ones who assume the vocation
of teacher without due regard to the
weight of responsibility which goes along
with the calling in every case.
I do hope the dear orphan lad and the
confiding little urchin may each find a
genuine friend as well as teacher in their
school lives and that their love for the
teacher will never wax cold or wane!
Some of the sweetest thoughts of my long
life cluster about my good teachers 'in
early youth.
Mr*. Myers' Yeast Recipe.
When night comes take a cup of warm
water, one teaspoonful of sugar and in
this stir dnough good flour to make a stiff
batter. Dissolve a tablespoonful of yeast,
such as Mrs. Myers makes, set In a warm
place to sponge, but don’t expect it to rise
in the batter. ■ In the morning make a
strong tea of peach tree leaves by boiling
the leaves in water. Take a teacupful of
the tea and let it cool down to milk warm.
Then stir tn the sponge, which was the
batter of the night before; sift meal in a
pan and use this mixture to make up a
dough like you were mixing corn pone.
Set it by and when it rises to twice its
size make out into little cakes and dry
the cakes tn the shade with plenty of air.
In making bread, use flour Instead of meal
and water instead of peachtree leaf tea.
Work in lard and salt to taste. When the
dough rises to twice its size, knead well
and set to rise in baking pan. Let it rise
two hours, or more If wanted very light,
and bake slowly. Practice is needed to
make first class bread.
Mrs. Myers offers to send enough yeast
to start with If a self addressed envelope
with two stamps on it is forwarded, with
a yard or two of calico, mailed to her to
pay for her trouble. Address Mrs. Rachel

A Little Girl’s Letter.
M’RAE, Ga., Aug. 14, UOl.
Dear Mrs. Felton: I am only a little girl
and live on a farm.
Mamma and I enjoy reading your page
in The Journal very much.
Mamma saw in the "Dairying and Live
Stock" column that Mrs. E. H. A., of
Canon, Ga., wanted to know how to get
warts oft of a cow’s teats. The Domestic
Cyclopedia gives the following treatment:
Warts are of two kinds. The first, on the
outer skin, may,be removed by rubbing
with camphorated olive oil. The other
kind penetrate into the flesh and may be
removed by a ligature of thread or silk.
Tie It around the wart and it will fall off
in a few days.
We would like for Mrs. E. H. A. to give
us her full address for we want to get her
yeast cakes.
Wishing you success in your column,
your* truly, . ,

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1901.
The French nation is not alone in the
evident decline or failure of marriage
in many places. That alarming fact
may be found elsewhere than among
the Gauls. While it may not be true
of country life In Amerijca, our-cities
furnish many illustrations of the fact.
The condltions-for marriage in Atlanta
are perhaps as favorable as can be
found elsewhere; and yet it is hardly
an extravagant estimate to say that
there are fully 5,000 unmarried young
men in her population. By young men
I mean bachelors, and no bachelor
who intends to find his mate ought to
be regarded old, although singleness
of state is favorable to rapid aging.
There is a here for the press,
as well as for the pulpit. This is not a
subject for flippant treatment. As well
deal with the great facts of life and
death and destiny after that manner!
Marriage stands closely'related to all
of these incidents of human life. Pa
triotism, peace and happiness are
bound up in this union, which is both
a human, privilege and a divine ordina
tion. Next to a neglected gospel, a
neglected marriage counts most for
man’s deterioration and wretchedness.
It is a talent committed to men for
safe and faithful improvement; and
most of such as hide it in the earth
are excluded from the heaven here its
wise use would assure. And in general
marriage so uplifts man and brings
into wise exercise his nobler feelings
as to greatly predispose him to a re
turn to his Maker. Whatever is help
ful is a channel for the stream of grace
to flow in its man-seeking movement.
The pulpit and the press alike, then,
have need to join hands in furthering
a revival of marrying, until, every man
shall have his wife and every woman
shall have her husband. .
There are few exceptions from the
obligation to marry. Confirmed disease, •
vileness of living, habits of alcoholism
ought to bar men out of this .benign
provision of Providence for th* race’s
perpetuation and improvement. But
industrious, healthy, clean men can
not put aside this obligation or need
lessly postpone its assumption without
offending God and bringing damage or
loss upon themselves. It Is.not a cross
to be taken up with trembling and
fear. A woman’s heart is .richer than
hidden treasure, and whoever worthily
wins that is rich indeed,, and surely
"finds favor with the Lord.”
The cost of running a home, without
doubt, deters many a man from mar
riage. His salary is not .arge enough,
he feels, to meet the Increased de
mands upon his purse, and leave any
margin of unexpended meanfl for un
usual occasions. But there is less dan
ger of embarrassment in a marriage
made union of lives than in the reck
less extravagance of a' majority of
bachelors.
Not one man in fifty, at least if he
lives in city circles, is saving anything
from his wages. After fifteen or
twenty years of clerkships and toil
not more than that proportion of wage
and salary earners have enough sav
ings to decently bury themselves.
Would it have been worse, if they had
sought for a true woman to help them'
lead economic and industrious lives
from the beginning? It takes more to
feed two than one; but two are usually
more successful than is one in making
the means for . feeding. Besides the

Clover cushion* ar* now included in th*
divan or couch collection of every up-to
date woman.’ They make a delightfully
soothing pillow for tired heads during
these days of heat and humidity. And the
fragrance is deliciously suggestive of •
quiet, restful country nook. To make one
of these cushions quantities of clover
blossoms must be gathered and carefully
dried on a sheet in the shade; the blos
soms being turned each day, so that the
air may permeate every chink bf the dain
ty puff balls. Then an under-cover of
strong calico is made to inclose them,
quite loosely, and the over-cover of pret
ty printed silk slipped over all. The cush
ion must not be filled too full or it will
be hard and unpleasant; nor must It be
left too empty. For the city home the
clover cushion is a particularly attractive
and refreshing couch accessory.

An ideal lemon squeezer is of wood,
every particle of it, except the hinge.
The handle and frame are of an ordinary
white wood, but the bowl into which th*
lemon is placed, the part through which
the juice drains and the heavy rounded
piece which presses into the lemon, ar*
of heavy, dark polished wood, so as to
secure extra pressure, and so close grain
ed that th* lemon juice does not soak in.
What Women Are Doing.
One of the ablest presentations on the
subject of “Women in Professions" was
made by the president of Bryn Mawr,
Miss M. Carey Thomas, before the Asso
ciation of Colleges and Preparatory
Schools and has been published in The
Educational Review in separate form. Her
arguments are logical and deal with the
existing conditions, not with theories as
to women's physical and mental aptitude
for certain pursuits. Sbe declares that
since women are becoming doctors, law
yers, etc., they must be properly educated
and equipped; that if they are "not suited”
to a certain profession they will not suc
ceed, and therefore will be weeded out in
the survival of Cis fittest and need cause
no distress to alarmists, who w.ould pre
vent women from technical education on
th* plea that they are not fitted for it.

economy a young couple find it neces
sary to practice. Isl education for fort
une making. Married men are the
fortune builders of the world. Busi
ness kings have queens in their pal
aces and heirs apparent' to the in
dustrial thrones they have reached.
Marry not and die poor! A wife is bet
ter than poverty, and often the spring
and way of escape from Its incon
venience and hardship. Don't go west
young man, but go courting! "At the
end of that rainbow," there is richer
gain than ” a bag of gold.!’
But it might as weH. be . conceded,
for it’s true, that many fkir fflrls are
themselves so extravagant and imprac
l tical as to discourage marrying. A »
woman that cannot make.* dress or
a biscuit or a battorcake.'who yet can
spend ten dollars of her escort's money
in one night's trip to the theater and
its accessories, doesn’t gpcourage his
wish to marry if he reflects’ that he
toiled three days to get ' what she
makes go so rapidly! He thinks he
can make his trip in shafts better than
when hitched to a double tree! The
girls that allow their gentlemen friends
to lavish money upon them in various
forms of entertainment,are making
old bachelors multiply, and causing It
to be more unlikely that they them
selves shall ever be widows. A prac
tical, modern education for girls; fit
ting them for domestic affairs, giving
them kitchen degrees; would be great
incentive to a revival and Increase of
marriages. That’s the kind of; "fin
ishing school” they ought to .come out
of at the end of their course, jf the vis
ion of their beauty and attractive
ness is likely to make a man speedily
seek them, the ordinary and the min
later. Not that men seek wives for
cooks rather than companions, but
because companions may some* fine
morning be without a eook. What,
then, if she shall empty a sack of
flour into a tub to make the dough of
biscuit for two, and salt the coffee, and
sweeten the ham, as ft’* labeled
“sugar cured.” Oh! itl* awful when
she toasts- cheese in the kettW and
poaches eggs In their shells beside it,
and uses a dollar's worth of rice for
dinner, filling the tubs as it swells!
Let us have more marrying.. Not by
those that have found that-grace. One
wife at a time i* enough! Th* “Lat
ter Day Saints” want more, a great
many. The country ought.to “pass the
character” of every gentleman who is
sensible and religious enough to marry
on* woman, and devote himself wholly
and for life qnto her support and hap
piness. Then he’ll find himself enter
taining an angel unawares, and in
that serene estate discover the best
conditions for reaching the altitude of
manhood the Creator urges us to at

AID FOR HAWAIIAN PLANTERS.
Th* Japanese government will shortly
issue an edict permitting Japanese sub
jects to leave* Japan and corae to the Uni
ted States or to the Hawaiian Islands,
says a Washington’ dispatch, The edict
will state that only law-abiding, thrifty
and industrious people can secure admis
sion to the United States or to Hawaii,
and it will forbid more than sixty Japa
nese going on any one ship. This infor
mation'was given to Mr. Taylor, assist
ant secretary of the treasury, by Kogoro
Takhirs, the Japanese minister to the
United States. Mr. Takhlra had a long
conference with Mr*, Taylor in relation to
emigration and the wording of the edict,
which his government has asked him to
advise them in.
Two years ago a large number of Japa
nese sought admission to ■ the • United
States, coining byway of Canadian ports.
So numerous were these arrivals that the
treasury officials ordered an investigation,
and discovered that the Japanese were
arriving by the ship load. An arrange
ment was made with the Canadian; offi
cials by which the treasury department
was permitted t©-station immigration in
spectors at Canadian ports, and hundreds
of the Japanese were deported or not al
lowed to land from the ships. This condi
tion was brought to the attention of the
Japanese government, and-.through the
Japanese minister here it was Informed
that United States officials were acting
within their rights and under the author
ity of an enactment of congress.
The object of the call by the Japanese
minister upon Mr. Taylor was to inquire
if the edict were Issued would objection
be raised to the entry of the Japanese to
this country or their passage through it
to the United States or to Honolulu if
they were under contract to the planters
or any one else. He said, however, ■ that
no objection could be raised if they
sought entry as individuals, if not afflicted
with .contagious diseases, and were
neither paupers nor ex-convicts. They
will have to take their chances of secur
ing employment after •• their arrival at
Honolulu for if it is shown that they come
to Honolulu under contract they will be
deported because of: the contract labor
law.

Senator Clark himself. Few such orders
have ever been written. The mine,.so far
as it has been developed. Including the
explorations of a diamond drill below the
present workings, shows an immense ore
chimney, 400 by 600 feet across, thgt has
been explored by shafts,-tunnels and drill
holes to the depth of 1,500 feet.
How far it will be possible to work
the mine before reaching the heat limit
it would be Impossible to say,, but rea
sonable estimate is 3,000 feet; but without
trespassing on the future, the proved ore
bodies contain values that almost stagger
belief. The mine to the depth of 1,400 feet
contains 836,000,000 cubic feet of ore, and
estimating eleven cubic feet to the ton.
which' is a liberal allowance, there are
83,000,000 tons practically in sight. At $75
a ton, a conservative estimate of value,
the ore represents more than $2,475,000,000,
with more than one-half of the available
ore body yet untouched.
In many respects the United Verde is
th* most wonderful mine on earth. It
is a treasure of wealth that might pay
the national debt. It has made its owner
a copper king, a railroad magnate, a
United States senator. It has made him
richer than any monarch and perhaps may
make him as powerful. Yet he refuses to
grant his employes an eight-hour day.

THE WHIPPING POSTIN DELAM
In Delaware the whipping post has
proved efficacious and economic, declares
Alan Cunningham in Frank Leslie's. for
September. Criminals are deterred from
committing offenses, and when they do
commit them, shorter terms of impris
onment accompany whippings; the bur
den upon the community is lightened and
the jails,. which are public schools of
crime, are kept reasonably clear of dan
gerous, hardened crlminala Much has
been heard of “Jersey justice,” which is
prompt and relentless, but the defenders
of they whipping post maintain that Dela
ware justice is even superior, as it not
only swiftly punishes criminals, but more
effectually prevents crime by "warning
with a loud voice and ruling with a
strong arm.” The efficiency of Delaware's
system may be shown from her court
records, and the only question is whether
the price paid for the result is too high.
The advocates of corporal punishment
contend that the “wave of humanitarian
sentiment” has degenerated into weak
sentimentality. Not only has vindictive
ness in punishment»been abolished, bdt
the extreme sensibilities of philanthropic,
well-meaning men and women have
caused us to lose sight of the very ob
jects of retributive justice. “Let me re
member," the great English judge. Sir
Matthew Hale, was wont to say, “when
I find myself inclined to pity a criminal,
that these is likewise a-plty du* to the
country.” Th* advocates of the whip-
A Visit to the Orphans' Home at
* ■ ? ’ 1 ***.»> *q -*i '*
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON.
My friend, Rev. Howard Crumley, the
conference agent of the Methodiet Or
phan’s home, at Decatur, wrote to me
several days ago, asking me if I would
not make the homp a visit. Most gladly
I responded at ohce. With four of my
own dear children over in the heavenly
land, there is perhaps nothing In this
world which touches my heart so closely
as the happiness of little children. When
I looked in the faces of 150 orphans on
the day of my visit, I felt like singing a
song of praise to the Almighty Father
who had put it Into the hearts' of gener
ous Christian people to provide a place
for these little ones who were obliged to
live on .the charity of the world in their
infancy and youth. And a heartier, hap
pier and more contented household I never
saw In my life. No one can question their
contentment, > for children, especially
small children, are absolutely frank and
honest in their likes and dislikes. The
home has just emerged from an epidemic
of whooping cough and measles, and six
little ones passed over to join those who
had preceded them to the better land.
Rev. Mr. Crumley said the mortality pre
vailed among the feeble and formerly ill
cared for children, who came Into this
lovely home with depressed vitality' and
were unable to withstand disease. " •
Measles of a virulent type is a dreadful
thing to encounter. During the civil war
they “broke out 1 ’ In our own family, while
we were refugees, and we burled seven
children, black and white, within the
space of two weeks, my own little Mx-year
old son. the last of the victims. With
this painful remembrance in my mind, I
was able to congratulate the Orphans'
home managers, because they had escaped
so lightly with such a multitude of chil
dren exposed to the epidemic collected in
one place.
*■ As t looked at these little ones (God’s
little ones, for the master says: “Os such
is the kingdom of heaven): My eyes
swam in tears of thankfulness, because
the orphan children had found capable
friends In a time of serious Illness and
affliction.
I know, If anybody knows, how a moth
er’s heart aches, when her little ones lie
before her on a sick couch, perhaps a
deathbed. I know how the little ones
hunger for affection and petting, and these
little tots are Joyfully fond of their
teachers and caretakers. Mr. Crumley
told me of their exuberant delight on
Sundays when Mr. Shedden goes to the
home and gives them his care, and atten
tion during every Sunday afternoon. Rev.
Mr. Stone and his lovely wife (for I have
known. Mrs. Stone since her baby days,
have also known and loved her own dear
parents for a third of a century) told me
also of the fond devotion of these or
phans to Mr. Shedden. I said to myself,
“God will bless this dear young man a
thousand fold In his own heart and life,
because of this tender attention to the
hapless llttje ones, who crave love and
petting just as do our own little ones, our
children and grandchildren.”
.1 went from cottage to cottage into
their sleeping rooms; saw the splendid
equipment of them all with bedsteads
and mattresses, baths, etc. I ate dinner
with the little orphans and enjoyed every
mouthful of the good plain foqd set be
fore me. They are hearty little folks and
after they had sung two or three sacred
hymns I went around to the baby table
to ' find a half dozen or more of babies
sleeping in sweet content, as I have seen
my own babies fall asleep at table In the
years gone by.
I do wish the readers of the Journal
could make the visit just as I did without
giving them any warning or time to pre
pare for inspection and thus understand
the magnitude of the work the good peo
ple of the church and of our section have
done at this point. The founders and
managers of this organization will be
blessed in mind and heart for their gen
erous appreciation of the opportunity. If
there is any charity in this world which
exceeds this sheltering care of little or
phan children I know nothing about it..
