Somewhere 1 came zeroes these «ords. and I oass them on to the busy peoph wUc think that they never have time for anything except the hours of toll that stern old Duty has allotted them: "How many of the signal successes of life have Q grown out of the treasured fragments of ■ time. May you gather up these broken fragments, glean the precious dust, those raspings and parings of precious duration, those leavings of days and remnants of hours which so many are sweeping into the vast waste of existence "Perhvpa. If you be a miser of moments. If you be frugal and hoard up the half hours and unexpected holidays, your careful gleanings may eke you a long i. and useful life, and you may die. at last, richer in existence than multitudes f whose time is all their own." ■ Our Saviour gathered up the fragments, and it la a lesson that all children should s. ba taught. This does not simply mear that there shou- be no waste of food, but waste of time and of Influence. Though I must say that it is a sin to waste food. sorr.etimes It makes' me heartsick to see people with not a cent tn the bank throwing trway their nickels or the equivalent in cold food and hall worn clothes. Easiness, ignorance and in difference are three strong agents foi poverty and crime. My work sometimes takes me into the poorest sections of the city, and I must confess that I see more actual waste there than in the richer homer I have * known wives and mothers who fiad to pinch and plan to get "bread and meat" fnr five out of a very meagre anviunt brought in by her children or husband, sit in laziness until the last minute and then “dash” Into the kitchen and cook •j the food in the plainest and quickest sort of way. Perhaps she would send to the store for bread and a can of meat, and when the meal was over ahe would hav< half a loaf of bread cut up and left on the table. By the next meal it would ; be stale and then she would throw It v away. “Half a loaf of bread is not much." you say. No. but did you evet know a poor housekeeper who stopped at one-half a loaf in the garbage can? Ir* two days there will be bread enough for | a meal. Certainly the family could not eat ft as it was. but every housekeeper should have a bread box, a tin can will do. and when the left overs are sufficient they may be made into milk toast, or dipped in a beaten egg and fried, or dried and used to scalloped dishes. Such things make a change and save money in doc tors’ bills, for the “finicky” appetite leads to medicine or loss of work. Suppose it is truly a case of bread and meat Then take the white meat, side meat, or bacon, as you happen to call It. dip it in corn meat in flour batter or to the crumbs you have dried and fry it. There are fragments that count in more ways than one. There are plenty of young people who are driven from home because the mother is too laxy to use the fragments of her time in away bene ficial to herself and her family. I know women who sit in idleness and brood ) over bad luck, and the days when their monev was plentiful, when their daugh ters are out tn the world from early till t’‘ late, and have to buy ready made clothes as well as supply the home with their * scanty earnings. Those fragments of time would have made the clothes as well as left the mind of the replner above the **bad luck" she brought on herself.

Prayer , Prayer to the ponrine ont of the soul into God as a free will offering solemnly and eter nally dedicated to Hl tn. accompanied wih etlie most earnest desire that we mar know, lore and serve Him alone. The eloquence of praper consists tn the fervency of desire, the simplicity of faith. “lord, teach us how to prav.” is a necessary prayer, for unless we are divinely Instructed in the manner and Influenced by the spirit of true devotion, even the prayer taught us by our Lord may be repea.ed without profit to our souls. "The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much." What a lesson this should be to us. no: only to pray, but to pray fervently. The Bible contains Instr ncea of the wonderful poetency of prayer. Elias prayed for a drouth, and it did JW>t rain within the space of three years and six months. He prayed again and in response, a cloud hovered over the parched and sterile earth and pourned its refreshing waters into its every pore, until the earth was satisfied and made to bring forth fruit and grass to again gladden the heart of beset and man. When Joshua, that famous warrior of the Is raelites. saw In one of his great battles that a day was not enough time to conquer the Amor- Ites. he prayed unto the All Powerful to stop the sun in Ifs aeemtnr pass-'ee through the heavens. The Ix>rd beard his request and stopped the sun. producing a phenomena that astonished all nations, thus lengthening the day 24 hours. And again, when King Heseklah was sick unto death be fervently prayed unto the Ixwd to extend his life, and hls days were lengthened 15 years. Tins we see that praver can assuage our sor rows. relieve our troubles, fit snd qualify ns for all t»-e duties of life snd for that glorr that awaits the just throughout all eternity. I could not bet-er close this letter than to quote the beautiful lines of Montgomery on prayer: “Prayer to the tural’a sincere desire I'ttered or unexpressed. The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. “Prayer is the burden of a sigh. The falling of a tear. The upward glancing of an eye When none but God Is near. “Prayer is the a Irani, st form of speech That infants’ lips can try. Praver the snbllrnost strains that reach The majesty on high. “Prayer to the contrite sinner’s voice Returning from his wsya. While angels in their songs rejoice And cry. ’Behold, be prays!* “Prayer is the Christian's vital breath. The Christian’s native air. His watchword at the gates of death. He enters heaven with prayer." Crawfordville. Ga. ETHEL. Laugh and Be Cheerfu) Bear Miss Thomas: After reading Che House bold over. I derided that if Mrs. Carrington could write after being in bed nine years I could afford to write after being In bed two months. Os course. I don’t know bow much longer I’ll be here, but think with the help of tbv good Lord 1 can soon be up again. I have bad to have two operations in that time. It makes me feel bad to bear a woman start to tell me lp>w bad her husband treats her. I can’t have manners enough to wait till she can finish before I bare to say. “Mine don't do it. and even if he did why should the world know it?” When you go visiting you notice if yhu start to tell something about your troubles, whether the others cere anything about it ex cept to tell *he next-door-neighbor about it. Weep and you weep alone, laugh and the world will laugh with you." to a true saying. Wh<-n I xm able to do my work I go to >bnrch every Sunday and to Sunday school in the afternoon. I don't go at night, for my two babies are to be pnt to bed and looked after: I never risk leaving them with servants, and when Monday comes'! expect to go to work and do everything that I have to do "as unto the THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Must We Convert Sinners? Dear Sisters of the Household: How to make ~ie moat aud the best of life ought to be the great study of the human race. I have thought on this subject a great deal In the last few 1 year* and I think we would fulfill our miaalou Im life best by being as nearly like Jesus as we cr.n. Sometimes, in this connection, it occurs to me to mske a comparison of wnat God could do. I and of what He does do. We all know that He ! could arrest every sinner on earth and convert them immediately, but He does not do this. I heard a minister say, "God Is a gentleman. ( be does not interfere with the private affairs of other people.” II think that He leaves it to them, and after a while most people turn from evil and seek the right way of their own accord and I very much doubt whether they ever turn any sooner for being constantly importuned by others. It is not our duty to reform other people, but it is ou.- duty to make everyone around us as happy as we possibly can make them. Let us look for the good that Is in everybody and never see the evil. ; That to a beautiful custom you have In Geor pls of working one day for the orphans' homes snd I dare say results In much aid to those in stitutions. I looked up Mirs Thomas' favorite passage tn the Bible and think It beautiful. 1 always enter the conversation of “those that love the Lord" end think we do not talk of Him enough. The verse that has been more help to me than any other in the Bible is ftoind in James 1:5. I have often been situated where I did not know what was best to do and have found this verse "a very present help In time of need." Rest w’ahes for a happy home to all members of the Household. L. T. RUSSELL. Texas. Early Autumn Musinas Dear Miss Thomas: The cool snturnn winds are blowing. Hardly s>ems real to think thnt summer is no longer with us. but 'tie true, riit testimony of regetstkm to not deceptive, so lev us welcome the new wesson for doesn’t it pre sent to us one of the subllmest pictures on Nature’s canvas? If we only pause to iook we will soon be fesstlng our eyes on pictures more tH-sutiful tbsn those adorning the walls oi the costliest mansions. He who planned the cbangea of nature was so thoughtful and wise. I Wb< n the cold days comes He denudes tn<i i trees of tueir leaves and gives them back to mother earth to protect small vegetation ana renew her exhausted soil. So let us not slgi. and pine as we watch them burn aud fall, they ure only fulfilling the mission assigned them by the Oue who caused them to unfold ami ex pknd. It is true we enjoyed tneir retresnmg shades through «ie long sultry summer days and we will miss the music furnished by the songsters who made their homes In their midst, but can we not look forward to the resurrec tion and appreciate it more by being deprived of it for a few fleeting months. To the contributor who advocated the “one moral standard” I waft ray sincerest regards. The fnflw nee of such a life in a home can’t be otherwise than for good. Leila Mae, I would offer some advice to you but others seem to be dotng this gene,- ously. So, I will remain silent.

A little horseradish tn a pan of sweet milk will kee> it fresh a week. Milk is en excellent substitute for so»p and prevents that gretsy scum from appearing. lodine will prevent carbolic acid from blister ing.

[CARDUI Worn J’V Tonic | HOW GRANDPA STARTED A NEW FAMILY AND IS DADDY AGAIN AT EIGHTY-SEVEN John Henry Thiry Never Felt So Happy As He Does in His Stren uous Second Childhood. One Son Is Old Enough to Be His Brother’s Grandfather—Four Babies Since His 78th Year. BY W. Q. SHEPHERD. “At eventide it eball be light.”—The Bible. „ , LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y.-John Henry Thiry is 87 years old, but on Sep tember 4 he became the father of a bouncing baby boy. He wasn’t as much surprised as were scientists, who have since been pestering him for ’ facts regarding his manner of living. Two years ago, when he was 85, he had become thei father of a fine little baby tlrl. And twft<jrears before that ,he had become the father of a baby boy. And two years before that— But this is telling the story backward. Here is the story, dates and all. of the seeming miracle whereby an old man was living out the end of his life alone, hls wife dead, his two sons grown and fath ers themselves: the story of how this old grandfather began a new family of his own that is younger and livelier and even perhaps healthier than the families of his sons. It’s a story of one bright evening of life. No wonder scientists in France, Aus tria and Germany, as well as in the Unit ed States, are asking Thiry hls secret.

George’s resignation of his $15,000 position was de manded and promptly refused because he holds a salary contract good until next June. When he received his orders to re port yesterday as a leather marker, he smiled and made ready. He left his home in the morning, jump ed into his waiting touring car and drove to the works.
