Newspaper Page Text6 Welcome Words to Women Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their sex should write our Association and receive free 1 the so vice ot a physician of over 40 years' experience L? I —a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases \ 4 oc women. Every letter of this sort has the most careful com ide ratios and is regarded as sacredly Tjfcg confidential. Many sensitively modest women write fully what they would shrink from telling to their gs local physician. The local physician is pretty & sure to say that he cannot do anything without it “an examination.” Dr. Pierce holds that these ‘kiA 1 V"— distasteful examinations are generally needless, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them. Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the privacy of your own home. His ** Favorite Prescription” has cured hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases. It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every ingredient on its outside wrapper. There’s no secrecy. It will bear examina tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it.* Don't trifle with your health. Write to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R. V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y.,—take the advice received and be well. LIZZIE O. THQMA& ’ '’ CHAT. Sc bool ward the minds of parents and children are turned Schoolward also are turned the minds of the teachers, and sometimes my sympathies are all for the teachers* Before I had made my tow to the public and had heard "tlie other side of the story,” I thought that those first days were worse for the chil dren than for anybody else. My mother used to go with me and herself make the acquaintance of the teacher, and I . can see now that her sympathies were with the girl who was a stranger in a strange land Once in a distant state I saw a young man who seemed in the depths of despon dency. The rest of us were having such a good time that I asked his sister if he was sick, and when she said it was be cause he had to take a new school the next Monday I asked ff he was afraid of the big boys or could not do the work Both questions amused her very much for he was a big fellow and well edu cated. x “Child.'* he said, when abe told him, ••you don’t know what it means to go to a neighborhood and not even know the people you are to hoard with. If you pre reserved because you don't know how they will take mere friendliness you may hear afterward that the report went out that you are 'stuck up.' If yqp try to be friendly they may label you \ ‘fresh.’ You go to church and every •ye is on you. but mighty few hands are extended to greet you. The children ‘shy around’ and you are conscious of meas- I urements being taken that put you at a Can you wonder that I am like an eel on a bed of coals? I am x going to just such a place, and I do not •njoy the prospect. ” Since then I’ve heard girls tell of their experiences; each thinks theirs worse than • any other, it has put me to thinking of I the “stranger within our gates’* and the . easy thing it would be to give them the • welcome they should have. Just a few days ago a question was asked me that I am sure I’ve answered a hundred times. It is a very reasonable question, or it would not be in the minds of’ so many: "Miss Thomas, didn't you nearly die of loneliness when you were in Japan? I don't believe I could have spent a year there, homesickness is something that I cannot contend with." My invariable answer- is: “I didn’t allow myself to get lonely; there wt» too much to be done from the very day I reached the school. If there is nothing else to do one can get a book that required one’s undivided atten tion. and It may be that one mast read a page over and over 'to get r.n idea of what is on it. but after a time one forgets to be lonely.” Howe vet, ; I’ve decided I’d rather be a stranger in a strange land than encounter some of the experiences some of the young men and girls undergo when they start to teaching. Mothers are now busy getting school clothes ready, books are being. hunted up. baskets are being aireo and new napkins hemmed. How many parents, for here is where there should be the heartiest co-operation, are talking to their children about courtesy? The real courtesy that shows one’s best side to teacher *n<. fellow-pupil. Some great man once said that When we revenged ourselves on an enemy we merely got even with him but when we ignored rudeness or malice we showed our superiority. And when parents teach their children that true culture cannot be obtained merely by reciting lessons, that it takes politeness, helpfulness ana friendliness ks well as book knowi-1 edge to make culture, they are start ing their children along the right path. Tducation is of inestimable value, riches fly away, health is .mh dependable, and both are more enjoy ed if educatkgi is combined with them, but I’ve seen men and women who could not write their names who wet-v, of nature's nobility. So don't let the children get the idea in their heads that mere knowledge of books will lift them above their honest old fathers and mothers. Last June some girls and boys came from college very much huffed up-, their one. two or three years lift ed them higher than any one tn ihe neighborhood. I hope they have learn ed better ere this. ' Don’t blame the school; they ar e snobs, pure and sim ple. and they would have displayed n even if they had never gone to any •chovl. money or something would have brought it to the surface. Schoolward the minds of the people are turned. What sort of teacher did you select? Did you get one that 20 years from now will be quoted as au thority by some good man or woman? Have the lessons in gentleness, »ht stories of nobleness and cleanmind-»J ness that were told last year clung to your children, and have you helped that teacher by telling him or her or the good done your child? What sort of school house have you? Here is where there must be co-opera tion. The yard must be plowed, flowers planted and the premises kept in good order.

Today the boy Is In a reformatory for stealing and that father says he thought the boy would know where to stop. The place to stop any child's evil doing is before they begin. Teach them to look upon all manner of evil with horror. 'Tis a pity, but it’s true, that even the heart of the little child has evil implanted there and nothing but line upon line and precept upon precept will eradicate it; example must go right along with precept. Help the teacher train the children, see that their parts in the school garden are cared for as fell or better than any of the others, and when they come home filled with pride of achievement, don't sneer or tease and let them find their own yards clean; or if you are not able to hire your work dore see that the chil dren work right along with you and make industry a habit We’ve talked about the yard, how about the school house? Is it comfortable? There some that allow the rain to pour in, some that the teachers have to take up a collection to get glass to fill the places stuffed with old hats and newspapers, some have smokey stoves, and some abominable fireplaces. How about yours? “Train up a child in the way £e should go," means the training he gets in his surroundings as much as anything. Good environment, good man ners and honesty should go hand in hand and one is lacking if the school house Is a shanty and the school grounds are neg lected. I hope that your school is one that the best teachers make bids for; I hope you make them feel welcome and that you do all in your power to main tain discipline and hold up the hands of your teacher. It's no easy place, even when parents and teachers are harmo nious. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. THE CRIMES OF THE TONGUE Dear Householders: Our Sabbath school les son for May 26 wax on truthfulness. 1 wonder if there were many of ns that thought ot the crimes <jf the tongue. "Even so the tongue Is ■ little n-ember and boasteth great things, behold bow great a matter a little fire kin dletb! And the tongue is a fire a world of Iniquity. So hs the tongue among our member®, that it defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on- fire of hell." (James iff 5-6. As I studied thia I thought of the mischief done by the tongue. The consequences do not •top with the word spoken. The tongue stirs up the whole life and sets It on flrj. Let ns compare the crimes of the tongue with the erimes of the gun. the second most deadly instrument ot destruction, the first being the human tongue. The gun merely kills the body; the tongue kills reputation nod oftimes rums character. The havoc of the gnu Is visible at once; the evil of the tongue lives through ail the years to come. The crimes of the tongue are words of. unkindness, of anger, of malice, of envy, of bitterness, of harsh criti cism. gossip, lying and scandal. Theft and murder are awful crimes, yet In any single year tba sorrow, pain and suffering they cause in a nation U microscopic when compared with the sorrows that come from tlie crimes of the tongue. ’ , At the hand ot thief or murder few of ns •utter, even indirectly, but from the careless tongue of friend, the cruel tongue of enemy, who Is free! No human being can live a me ao true, so fair, so pure, as to be beyond tha reach of malice or Immune from the poisonous emanations of envy. The Insidious attack against one’s reputation, the slurs, halt-lies by which jealous mediocrity seeks to ruin its superior, are like those inaect parasite# that kill the heart of a mighty oak «o cowardly is the (hetbod, so stealthy, the shooting of the poisoned thorns; so insignificant the separate acts in tbelr seeming that one la not on guard against them. It la easier to dodge an elephant than a mi crobe. Scandal Is one of the crimes of the tongue, but it is only one. Every individual who breaths a word of scatuial is an active stockholder in a society for tt* spread of moral contagion. There are pillows wet with tears; there are noble hearts broken in silence whence comes no cry of protest; there are gentle, sensitive natures scared and warped: there are old time friends separated ami walking tbelr lonely ways with bop,- dead and memory but a pang; there are crnel misunderstandings that make all lite look dark—these are but a few of the sorrows that come from the crimes of the tongue. A man faay lead a life of honesty and puri ty, battling bravely for all he holds dear, so firm and sure of the rightness of his life that be never thinks for an instant of the diabolic ingenuity that makes evil and evil report where naught but good reajly exists. A few words lightly spoken by the tongue of slander, a significant expression of the eyes, a cruel shrug of the shoulders, with a pursing of the lips, and then friendly hands grow cold, the accustomed smile is displaced oy a sneer and one stands alone and aloof with a dared feeling of wonder at the vague, Intan gl*d something that has caused it all. To sustaijt ourselves in our own hasty judg ment we sometimes say as we listen and ac cept without investigation the words of these modern people. “Well, where there Is so mucn smoke, there must be some fire!" Yes, bm the fire may be only tire of malice, the incen diary .firing of the reputation of another by the lighted torch of envy, thrown into tbe in nocent farts of a life of superiority. < anon.

This illustration may be compared to our Sunday school and church societies —most of them can answer auy ques tion with the book In hand. Too many people I carry thrir lessons to ehtirch in their pockets Instead of in their hearts and minds. It Is all | right for u« to have our quarterlies and maga j zines to get ideas from, but it is just as Im pOrtant that we have idee* of our own. This ' literature gives the Ideas of men and not God. j It is by the exchange of ideas that we improve I our own. In taking up the study of Isaac it Is well to I divide It Into •everal different parts. Ills birth was a fulfillment of one of God's commands to I Abraham and Abraham was tbe rather of an ! obedient son; Isaac was the son of an illustrious [ father. Tbe combination makes tbe study the more interesting. | After Isaac had become a good size youth | God decided to test Abraham’s faith. In obe | dience to God's command. Abraham, with Isaac and a few servants, set out on tbelr journey to the mount where God told Abraham to go and j prepare an altar. After some distance had been covered, tbe servants stopped to await, their re turn from the mount. As Isaac and his father continued their journay, no doubt the boy’s cu riosity became exerted, he asked bis father where the animal was to come from, whereup on Abraham told him that God would prepare a sacrifice. This no doubt relieved Isaac's mind, for the time being. Na doubt they talked as father and son made the remainder of the jour ney. Isaac helped to carry the wood. While Abraham was building the nltar. no doubt Isaac •till thought about tbe sacrifice. Rut just here his father bound him and placed Ihm in tbe al tar. Isaac ddid not murmur, because be knew It wan God's command and bis father’s obe- t’HE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1912.

RAILROAD HAS SPENT $2,000,000 IN LAGRANGE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) LXGRANGE, Ga., Aug. 28.—That this city is rapidly developing is evidenced from the fact that the Atlanta and West Point railroad has spent more than 12,000,000 in LaGrange for various building and <!lty improvements dur ing the past year. The Atlanta and West Point railroad is issuing a pamphlet of statistics about various towns and cities along its lines. One of its high officials paid LaGrange the high compliment of stating that more improvements in every line was going on in LaGrange than any two cities of equal size on its lines. dience that he was being sacrificed.. We can imagine we see him as he awaited the fatal blow that his father was soon to deal with te uplifted sword. Just here as the faith ot the fater and tbe obedience of his son were fully tested. God intervened and saved Isaac’s life. The next event in Isaac's life was bis court ship and marriage. Wbeu we remember tbe presents sent to the bride’s family, we know that he did not es cape the trouble and expense of a long engage ment. His father did the selecting while tbe servant did tbe courting. He also escaped the embarrassment of asking? te “old man’’as some call it. for his girl. The' man that was to do all this, had his speec made out before be ar rival at the girl's home be madde a hit, and brought back the young lady. This metod of courting worlds alright in the east, but not in our country, for ninny of us know the result of let ting the other fellow do our courting. The girls nowadays ask the young man sent on such a journey, “John, why don’t you speak for your self?" Isaac became the father of two boys. Esau and Jacob, who were to become beads of two distinct nations. Jacob's mother put him up to perpetrating the fraud that was to rob Esau of the blessing. This is to show that mootbers have a great deal to do with influenccin? teir cildren for good or bad. Rut tn most cases they are worthier than husbands In shaping tbe destiny of their chil dren. Jacob's trouble came home to him. When he worked seven years for Rachel and got Leah instead. Then his work was to be done over, but ho got Rachel iu the end. Thus, the beginning, the life and death of a noble Old Testament character. I wish Miss Thomas and all the Household were out in this climate for the summer, but to see tbe Sabbath abused, as it is here might spoil all te pleasure. With hearty good wishes for Miss Thomas and all tbe readers, I remain, Sincerely, WALTER E. WARREN, Box £33, Amarillo. Texas.
