10 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913. 3XP5 Tor March 23. Gen. 24:58-67. Golden Text: “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:$. DAWNING OF SPRING. Oh. tell it again, the sweet old story, ' The oft-told story of dawning Spring, When cometh the first real hint of glory— The first glad day when the year takes wing, The pulse of Nature is quicker thrilling. The lark is singing, the grasses sprout. And the maple trees their sweets are spilling. And eager bees from the hives fly out; The wayside brook that was frozen over Begins its longing to wander again, And Hope is ever a gay young rover. Who flits about in the hearts of men— There's a fresh green leaf, springing now and then Where she drops her seed in the hearts of men. • —IDA SCOTT TAYLOR. . CHAT. ‘‘There could be no Easter without a Good Friday; no rising again without the dying on the cross. Christ must taste death for every man before He could offer deathless life to every man. The touch of the cross is on every hope of Christian faith. The light that shines its soft luster throughout the W'orld streams from the cross.” Next Sunday will be Easter. Have your thoughts been on the material things that the occasion seems to de mand. or has the spiritual side of this day been uppermost? Are the children in your family, or within the circle of your influence, familiar ^ith the story, not the legends about rabbits or the gaily-cojored eggs, but the beautiful story of God’s dear son coming to this earth and the beautiful things He said and. did? flow He blessed little chil dren 'and when a man who pretended to love Him sold Him to His enemies, and they crucified Him, how the third day He rose from the dead and that Easter is to celebrate that event. Teach them the meaning of Good Fri; da>\ I asked a ten-year-old girl some thing about it. She could not tell me anything. Her older sister was quite disgusted with her ignorance! and said: ‘‘Goosie, that’s the day everybody plants beans.” There will be plenty of people who will display their new clothes next Sunday, plenty who will have the eggs ready for the egg hunt, and I’ve not a w-ord to say against either set if they can honestly wear {he clothes or’ claim the eggs. “Owe no man anything,” the Bible tells us. That means not to buy things with no idea o£ where the money is to come from that should pay for them, and not to fail to pay when the time comes. Easter day to many is a day of envy and bitterness because the dress or hat of a near neighbor or so-called friend is more stylish. Is that the spirit of the One whose resurrection we cele brate? Does He no 4 - teach us to love others enough to rejoice in any good fortune that may come to them? I don’t believe that things would be quite so material if Good Friday should be spent in prayer and fasting. If the memory of the cross and who did hang there all those hours were al lowed to permeate our minds the Fri day before Easter surely the Sabbath would be a day of rejoicing and spirit ual uplift even though the hat and dress worn should be two years old. In teaching this story to the chil dren do not fill their young hearts with th*e sadness and desolation of that time, but the beauties of Christ’s char acter, and the glad- ess of His follow ers when they found the cave opened. Later, when life has battered them, they will see all the woe. The fasting and praying may be done in such a way that nobody is repelled. Do not go about with a long face, that i^| the hypocrite’s way. If going without a meal makes you cross, it’s a pity, but with some it’s true, so eat enough to avoid that. And by all means fix things as nice as usual for jthe children and those who do ot see "this matter from our standpoint. This year Easter cornels early, the season already seems far advanced. The hills are radiant in pink and white, peach trees and plum are vieing with each other, a carpet of violets leads one “over the hills and far away” to the brook that has left the hills and seeks the valley. The birds are sing ing their love songs and home-making has begun. Across the hedge the pigeons are cooing and among the pines some doves have announced theiT return. All up and down the hills a green coat is showing and the brown garment Mother Earth used so many months is replaced with livelier hues. Great baskets of daffodils are taken to the city each day, with pyramids of handsome, fra grant violets 'to sell to the busy men and women and to let them realize that spring is coming. • “Coming,” did I say? Spring is here. Winter tried to hold a longer season, there was rain and hail and wind. The lightning was as vivid as I ever saw and the cloud that held death, or sorrow for so many as black, but that was the last struggle. The sunshine and the south wind have tried to atone for the wilfulness of that one impressive display of Nature’s forces. Spring is here. In a day or two the lilac buds will burst, the dogwood trees are awakening; and the wall flow r ers have loaded the southwind with their incense. Spring is here, up from Flor- idea comes the orange blooms and jasa- mine. The long gray moss is dotted with tiny stars and the silvery sheen is like a butterfly’s wing, so satiny and soft. Spring is here. The heart of man and woman stirs in sweet discontent, a home seems the finest thing on earth and the garden and flowers signify per fection. Some have a box in a window and some have only the flowers that can be bought, but in almost every heart there tingles the impulse to stir up the soil and plant ^eeds. How can we hold the season? That is an impossibility, of course, but we can throw' off the grave clothes, the faults that beset us and with God’s relp renew the bitter past of our dispo sitions. As the flowers, the birds and the waters break winter’s fetters and glorify the season we can open our hearts to the good, the beau tiful and true and every day, not just one day, say by our lives: “The Lord is risen,” and soon our neighbors and ac quaintances will say: “He has indeed,” for they will 'see the change that has come over us. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. IS THE YOUNG MAN SAFE? Dear Household: Did you ever read this passage of Seriplure in the Bible and compare It to the present-day parents: “And the king said. Is the young man Absalom safe?” Do you imagine the keen anxiety David felt for Ms rebillious son while he was away from home, and the company he was likely to get in, and if he were well? But Absalom was young and no doubt gloried in his strength, good looks and excellent health. David knew thta Absalom was without experience, and that there were* temptations tnat his son would likely yield to. Mothers and fathers of today should examine the company their boys are keeping and ask themselves this one question. “Is the young man safe?” If the boys who associate with tneir sons are intemperate, do they not know that “as the twig is bent, the trCe is in clined?” The environments of a boy from the day he is born till he reaches the age of twenty-one have a good deal to do with the soaping of his future life. Are they sure that the environments of their home and the community in which tney live are wholesome for a boy’s moral life? Are they sure their bov.i are s-afe in walking in their footsteps, taking up their habits and doing ex actly ns they do? If they are yielding to every request the boy makes upon them for liis worldly pleasure, is he safe? Are tney anxious to see their boy placed in the society in which he can dance, play cards; take social drinks uuid smokes? Is the son st^fe who has already entered the society or Joined the sort of club that counte nances these things if he revels in the dance balls half drunk till a late hour at night? Parents, when your proud and handsome son leaves home for the city with its temptations, do you ever ask yourself “is the boy safe?” Parents, if you encourage novel reading, danc ing,, card playing, cnewiug tobacco and social drinks, stop, ask yourselves this one question, “Is my boy snfe?” If you teach the boy the lesson, “let every fellow correct his own mis takes” in business affairs, is he safe? If au agent or an unwelcomed neighlK>r knoqks at your door and to rid yourselves of thenr you tell your boy to tell them you are not at home, is that boy safe? Don’t you know if he will lie for you ne will lie for himself? Come, let us go to a great city and stand oh a busy street and watch the mighty throng of humanity pass. We will readily see that one- third of the passing throng are young men. sons of anxious mothers and fathers. Then let us look about tnis great city and see its tempta tions, and then .ask ourselws the question, are these young men safe? And let us ‘get the Idea in our heads that if we as Christian people do not save these boys and young men and point them to a Saviour, they will go to ruin sooner or later. Parents, do not get the idea in your head that it is necessary for your boy to sow his “wild oats.” If you think this way about it, you are entirely In the wrong. By all means, let us make extra efforts to save the young men and the girls will take care of themselves. If filoise, of Anderson, S.^C., will send full name and address I will send her a Texfes scene. With best wishes for Miss Thomas and the readers, I am, very sincerely, WALTER E. WARREN. Box 333, Amarillo, Tex. A GOOD INVESTMENT Dear Miss Thomas: I want to tell you of the best investment I ever made. When my dear boy handed me another one dollar bill say ing, “Mamina, this will help you a little more.:* I Tittle dreamed of the pleasure it would bring me, as it went the next day to the Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, anrf since, that 'day I have reveled in yours and Mrs. Felton’s let ters. Your speaking of rabbits in your last letter made me jump, as they hnve eaten my garden up for the last three years. Am crazy to know Mrs. Alexander's twins’ name. Yuurs truly, MRS. BLANK. ALMOST AN APPLICATION Dear Miss Thomas: I feel very muon in clined to apply to you as assistant farmer or perhaps guide, for I have had so much sucecss with my garden and chickens this spring that I feel almost like I am an expert. I am only an amateur, ami I am afraid that two acres would be almost too small for two farmers. I’m not a farmer, but a farmer’s daughter, and this little experience at gardening and cnicken raising that I am having is all under the supervision of mother. I am a “school ma'am,” and I find a little domestic work like this on the farm the best recreation in the world after ttoree years’ teaching with only one month’s vacation during that time. Except tnat one brother is married and lives in a distant state we have a perfect little home here in Florida—“the land of sunshine and flowers” the year round. We live a short dis tance from the railway village, and drive over to the village as we wish to. On the farm is raised all the necessities with the exception of sugar, rice, coffee, etc. In our home we have a piano and a library of good books; take a dally newspaper, three weeklies, two semi weeklies and several farm papers and maga zines. We do not confine ourselves to the farm all the time. Each takes his or her ’’term” and spends a week or two in the city or village with relatives or friends. Unless you try it you do not know the amount of good it will do you. No matter how pleasant the home is an occa sional visit off will help to appreciate the home more, and the human nature calls for a Sarah lived to be* one hundred and twenty-seven years old, and then died. Isaac was then about thirty-eight years old. Up to that time he had never married. But now that his mother was dead, he could not be comforted. This devotion to his mother was one of the beautiful traits of character he display ed. For more than a year, his‘ father did not know what to do to comfort him. I have no doubt that they discussed the advisability of his establishing a home of his own, but the difficulty was that there was no woman of their ac quaintance whom Abraham thought was worthy to be the wife of Isaac. In a way this was a natural paternal feel ing, but it was particularly so in Abra ham’s case, since he realized that in Isaac God had promised his seed should be called. Abraham was ahead of the times in the matter of eugenics. He wanted to be careful that the wife whom he selected for his son was tit to be the- * 1 mother of his grandchildren. He was quite sure that none of the heathen women about him were such. He knew how fereat an influence the mother had over her children to dare give his con sent to have any one of these idolaters amongst whom he lived to be the moth er of his grandchildren. Finally realizing his own increasing weakness and age, Abraham called his trusted servant to him and commission ed him to go to his old home in Me r sopotannia and secure a wife for his son from amongst his own people, charging him that under no circum stances should he allow Isaac to go back* to that country to live. If the servant w’as not able to secure a wife from there, then he would be freed from his oath. But Abraham had faith enough in God to believe that he would send his angel before him and prepare the heart of the right maiden, so that she would consent to leave her own kindred and home to be Isaac’s wife. These things might seem strange to us occidentals, but such a thing would not be impossible amongst orientals even today. A man of forty would have the same respect for his father’s wishes and judgment, partic ularly when it came to perpetuating the family name. Abraham was perfectly right in the stand that he took. Many a life has been wrecked by the failure to choose the right partner. Persons who have been raised to regard the same things in entirely different lights, are not apt to make entirely congenial mates. 1 am very sure that it is contrary to the Bible injunction for a believing girl to marry an unbelieving man, or vice ver sa. As a rule, nothing but unhappi ness can result from such a union, and certainly it is not best for the children that result from such a union. THE WISE SERVANT AND LABAN. Abraham’s servant was a very wise man. He carried with him ten camels, each one packed with evidences of Abra ham’s wealth; he carried the kind of jewelry that he was sure would appeal to a maiden, and after a reasonable length of time completed his journey to Mesopotomia, coming to the city wh<ere Nahor lived, and weited at the well outside the village where in the late afternoon the young women of the village came to draw water in preparation for the evening meal. This man was a man of prayer. He wanted God’s guidance in so important a project. ,The woman he chose may either make or mar the descendants of his loved" master. He felt unable to make the choice himself, so asked God to direct him to the woman He had chosen. Any woman might have offered him water for himself. As a sign, he asked that the one of God’s choice should have a broad enough kindness to offer water also to the camels, the beasts of burden that were with him. So often is this the case. God an swered him before he had finished speaking; fob Rebekah, Abraham’s great- nice, came to the well with a pitcher upon her shoulder. She Was a picture to behold, and her kindness of heart but added to the beauty of her face; for she not only gave him water to drink, but kept drawing water and pouring it into the trough till the thirst of every one of the camels had been quenched. Nor was this any small job that she under took. In fact it was so large, and her deed made her so beautiful, that the servant watched her wondering. He did not have faith enough to believe that he would secure so splendid a woman to go with him on such a journey. But he was shrewd. He took a large golden earring and two bracelets of gold and gave them to her. He inquir ed wfiose daughter she was, and whether they could entertain him or not, and when he found that their hospitality would be extended to him, he bowed in ' * change sometimes. For a part of the summer we invite our friends from the city to spend a week or two with us, who always take a delight In belpiug with the cooking, churning, gardening, chick ens and the flowers. I did not tell you anything about our flowers. Well, it would take a page of The Journal to tell all about them. I think it is the flowers that make me enjoy home so much and long for a vacation to get out and enjoy them to my heart's content. But I long for the school room and children, and iu a little move than two months I will b® with them again. Sincerely, FLORIDA TEACHER. thanksgiving to God who had shown such mercy to him, and had led him to the house of his master’s brethren. Ah! there was a reason for that which you and I should •remember very par ticularly. Read his words again: “I being in the way, the Lord led me.” Many of us go astray because we do not place ourselves In the way so the Lord can lead us; but there wes never a man who was in the way, who failed to be led of the Lord. So far as you are concerned, the secret, of success is to place yourself in the way; then be sure that God will lead you. Laban, Rebekah’s brother, had an eye for business. He was not willing for his sister to marry any one with out wealth; and it didn’t take Abra ham’s servant long to find this out. When he came to a conversation with Laban, he made a great deal of Abra ham’s richness, his gi*eatness, his flocks, and herds, his jnen servants and maid servants, his gold, and his silver, and camels and asses. He was very particular to tell Laban that Isaac was the only son, and would inherit all this; so that when he came to his pro posal, Laban and Bethuel very piously said, We cannot Interfere with this matter, the thing is from th© Lord. But the servant wasn’t going to give him a chance to change his mind until- he had clinched it; so. in addition to the presents of jewels of silver, .and jewels of gold, and clothing which he had given Rebekah, ne gave to Laban and her mother precious things also. Finally, when they put the matter to Rebekah, she answered his “wilt thou?” with an “t will,” which showed how completely she had been won. How simple was this decision. The servant told Rebekah all about the man, and asked her would she go and be his wife; she said “I will,” and tne tning was done. She didn’t say, ‘ A’d try,” or “I’d like to,” or “I am afraid I couldn’t hold out,” or “I am not good enough.” Just so must every individ ual come to Christ. His servant tells us about Him, about His wealth, the beadty of His character, His desire for us, and asks pur consent. All that is necessary for us to become the bride of Christ is to say “I will,” and leave the old life, as Rebekah did. ISAAC’S HESITATION AND MAR RIAGE. While they are journeying on their way back towards Canaan, let us go back here and se e what has become of Isaac. Still mourning for his mother, and musing over the qualities which had made her such a devoted wife and mother, and appreciating keenly his loss, Isaac went ou A into the field to meditate. I am not sure, but I imag ine he was thinking wha{ his wife would have to be to comfort him for the loss of his mother, and what he would have to be to help her form such a home as he ought to make, considering te lives of his father and mother. And while he was meditating, he looked up and saw a cloud of dust in the distance, and finally, distinguishing the train of camels as they drew nearer, he saw on one of *them one he did not recog nize as one of those who had gtme out, and his* heart beat in high hopes as he realized that God had prospered his father’s servant-In his undertaking* So he started to nibpt her. Rebekah had not been unmindful of her new surroundings either, but keen ly interested in the varied scenes of th e trip, she is most keenly interested in the sight of this handsome man walking towards her, especially when she is told he is the one she has come seeking. Modesty and propriety re quire that she do as she did. She took her veil and covered herself. When Isaac learned from his fa ther’s servant the circumstances, he was sure that th^s was the one whom God had chosen for him, so he brought her into his mother’s tent, and she be came his wife, and Isaac loved her de votedly, being comforted now as he had not been since his mother left him. A love story is always fascinating, and this is particularly so because it gives young people, in some ways, the directions for choosing a life partner. But it is particularly fascinating be cause as the result of the strict ad herence to these principles, there has followed the most remarkable race in all the. world’s history, and the one from whom was descended the One .Perfect Man. The girl or man who chooses the right partner for life will choose the one who most closely resem bles Him. Transparent Hose And Decollete Garb Cause Immorality (By Associated Press.)

Courtship bears about the same re lation to matrimony that the commer cial school does to the real business of life. It is the period of awaken ing and preparation—an awakening to the fact that life has greater joys than the imagination has ever pictured—a period of preparation during * which two individualities are given an oppor tunity to determine if they are fitted to face life’s problems and meet life’s responsibilities together. If existence had but one joyous ex perience—that of falling in love—it would be well worth# living. No mat ter how many misfortunes we may meet or how sorely we are baffled in our struggle for success; no matter how many years may accumulate over our heads, we never forget the day when the great truth first dawned upon us that we were in love—the day on which we made the startling discovery that there was one girl whose smiles were sweeter and whose good opinions were more to be desired than those of any other lass in all the world. It may not have been our first “affair.” In all probability it may have been pre ceded by several transient “interests,” but when love comes we forget all that has gone before, and the desire to win the. object of our affections becomes the dominant ambition of the soul. From that day life assumes a differ ent aspect. Oceans of tenderness that we did not know we possessed well up in our hearts. Aspirations that point the way to heights of nobility of which we have never dreamed as sume all the attractions of an intimate possibility. Where selfishness has ex isted unselfishness reigns supreme; where ambition has faltered it now soars into practically limitless space. The assertion that “love is blind” is usually true only during the court ship days, but it cannot be denied that at this time the blindness of love is often so cqpiplete in the case of both as to make it impossible for either to form anything like a correct estimate of the character of the other. Under this influence personal qualities that may later loom so large as to obscure the horizon and shut out th$ sun of happiness frequently pass unnoticed. It is not easy to say that we should want to change this, even if we could. Though serious trials may come— though the years may bring the sad dest of disillusionments—one who has lived through days like these never forgets the experience—never comes to a time when his heart does not beat quicker at the recollection of some of the tender incidents which memory recalls. And it is a period of uncertainty, too— of delightful uncertainty. Certain as the youth may be as to the character of his own sentiments, the inability to look into the he^irt of the maid upon whom his love is centered is productive of a sense of doubG that causes him to hesitate about speaking too plainly lest he shatter his golden hopes altogether. But at last the day arrives when all this is forgotten—when his heart rises scribe the fashions to be worn by" women in the state of Ohio.” Introduction of the measure resulted from a charge filed with Governor Cox by a woman who did not sign her name, that “immorality is practiced by mar ried men in the offices of the state l\puse and elsewhere 1$ the state of Ohio.” Under the provisions of the bill the proposed commission would be com pelled to fix limits on decollete dresses so that “not more than two - inches of the neck below the chin shall be un covered.” Another clause of the meas ure provides “th£.t transparent stock ings shall not be displayed or worn in public places.” Another provision of the bill states that “it shall be unlawful to display or wear an outer garment trimmed or com bined with lace, insertion or any kind of embroidery mesh or net through which the color or texture of the skin may be distinguished without having the lace or other transparent material backed with opaque material.” Members of the proposed commission, according to the bill, would have to be between thirty and fifty years of age. Not more than two of them would have to be married men and of good moral character. One wotfed be a minister, one a parent of not less than three chil dren and the third a social settlement worker. The commission would be authorized to “prescribe rules and regulations for the designing and manufacture of wom an’s clothing and to prohibit such styles and patterns of garments as the com mission, after hearing, shall deem to be detrimental to virtue and chastity.” The bill goes so far as to prohibit department stores from displaying un draped artificial figures. The bill makes a violation of the act punishable by a fine of not less than $25. ALMOST GOT PAST GOING Miss Duff Writes Interesting Statement for Publication in the Behalf of Women Webster Springs, W. Va.—In an in teresting letter from this place, Miss Agnes Duff says: “I had been af flicted with womanly trouble for three years, and felt weak all the time. My back and sides ached so, I al most got past going. I had used a great many different kinds of remedies, but they failed to do me any good. I had heard of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and decided to try it. When I had used the third bottle of Cardui, I felt like a new person entirely. I gained both in health and weight. I praise Cardui for my recovery and good health, and I feel sure it will do the same for others, as It has me, if they will only give it a trial.” The above letter is an earnest, frank statement of Miss Duff’s opinion of Cardui. She has confidence in it, be cause it relieved her, after many differ ent kinds of other remedies had failed, and she believes it will help you, just as tt did her, if you will give it a fair trial. We join Miss Duff in urging you to give Cardui a trial. It cannot harm you, and, judging from the experience of thousands of others, is almost sure to do you good.
