LIZZIE O. THOMAS
MY WISH.
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road;
I do not ask that Thou would take
fropi me
Aught of its load;
I do not ask that flowers should always
spring
Beneath my feet;
I know too well the poison and the
sting
Of things too sweet.
For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I
plead—
Lead me aright.
Though strength should falter, and
though heart should bleed,
Through Peace to Light.
—ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR.
A lady in Atlanta asked me to go to
see her and talk over some problems
that she could not solve. She wanted
me to go to her house so that she
could go with me to see a family that
needed some sort of attention. There
was a swarm of children in that fam
ily. The family were not native Amer
icans, and when one irate father went
*there to talk to him about his chil
dren's bad conduct, such as throwing
stones at little girls, the man did not
answer the door bell; the woman went
after they decided the bell was going
to ring until some attention was paid
to the noise, and she said that her
husband was not there, though his
voice had been plainly heard when they
were squabbling over who should an
swer the bell. This mother made all
sorts of promises for the good be
havior of the children, only to see them
do worse things the very next day.
They are known for blocks, and report
puts their number at ten. I do not
know how many, but after I had seen
the boys, aged five, seven and nine,
who were daily seen to sell all sorts
of things, from gas pipe, water fixtures
and innumerable things that they were
obliged to steal because such things
are not thrown in the trash, and after
I had seen a piece of timber ten feet
long and 8x10 inches thick that they
bad rolled away from a lot, I knew
that it was a case for the probation
officer. Such parents would raise a
fine crop of thieves.
I went down to talk the matter over
with Miss Laing who is in the proba
tion work and while there I asked her
about a wayward girl I had been inter
ested in. I heard such good reports
of her that I am going to tell you
about her. She was truly a child of
the streets when we first had our at
tention called to her. % Her home was
worse than no home would have been
and she had begged to be taken away
from there. She was untruthful and
a thief and you could expect nothing
better when her environments and the
examples she had before her were con
sidered. There was nothing she was
afraid o.f, and she was seen at mid
night drinking soda water in company
with another girl that she had taken
with her to one of th e worst streets
in Atlanta, There seemed nowhere to
put her except in a certain institution,
and of course tne routine did not at
tract her and she ran away. Then she
was put in a home situated in the
woods. This .was a new life to the
child, she had never known anything
about cows, chickens and the various
animals every child should know all
about. There were cats and dogs such
as she little dreamed about and she
loved them all. Her favorite cat
brought in a baby rabbit and her joy
was really touching when shfe realized
•that she might keep it. That cat was
a herfeine and the little rabbit was
lavishly fondled, she took it to sleep
with her. The next day it died in her
hands. Ther e was a burial and Bunny’s
grave was covered with flowers, the
cat and her mistress chief mourners
and, so far as the child knew, the only
observers. “Nearer My God to Thee,”
was the last song the child sang and
kitty was in her arms.
There are not many real homes open
to such children. Georgia has neglected
her wayward girls. A mother came to me
last year and asked me to help her find
some place for her daughter, a girl
thirteen years old. That £oor mother
had to work away from home and her
daughter had quit school, without her
knowledge and was priding herself on
being the most popular girl in the
neighborhood. As we all know, during
adolescence many a girl loses her grip
on right living and clean thinking.
They are wilful, imaginative and ex
tremely romantic. Girls at that age
crave pretty things, adventure and
what they call a good time. The great
est care and tenderest sympathy must
be observed, and where is the girl who
has drifted away from her home ties
going to get it? to say nothing of the
girl whose home is not the sort for
her to live in. They have done nothing
criminal but are on the verge of a
precipice. Whose hand will help them?
Georgia las ma^e ample provision for
her boys; the fa-*m at Milledgev'll- and
other helps are open to the boys of the
state. Fulton county has a splendid
place for unmanageable boys. Few
seem interested in the wayward girls.
Speak of the bad boy and all sorts of
plans are suggested, gut the wayward
girl is not a subject for polite discus
sion. She is seldom brought into court
for theft or minor offenses, but she is
a vital problem, and has been forced
upon our attention. In 1911 there were
thirty-eight of them before the Fulton
county children’s court, last year forty,
and that means many, many more who
should receive some one’s attention.
But the probation officer fights shy of
the girl question because there is no
place to put them. There are some most
brazen girls selling things on the
streets. There are mothers so lost to
decency that the money their girls
bring in is all that they care for. As
one said “arrest her jf you want to,
you will have to turn her loose.”
Do not think for a moment that these
girls are only the product of cities. If
your community or town hasn’t one or
more, consider yourself fortunate. They
drift here from small places. There is
seldom a week that some almost dis
tracted father or heart-broken mother
is not here trying to find her runaway,
and sometimes it is the second offense.
Don’t get the idea that all these girls
are really bad. They have just started
out and now is the time to save them.
More than once my phone rang at all
hours of the night when I was con
nected with the Young Women’s Chris
tian association and young business
women told me of girls who had started
out for a lark, thoughtless and inno
cent, who were ready to creep back if
they could do so without too much fuss.
Few of them are really bad—let me re
peat it—and there is more inborn mod
esty in them than we give them credit
for. They think they are smart.
But to return to the children of the
street. To the poor little dwarfed, de
formed souls that so ojften are in such
frail bodies. We have an immense sdtii-
tarium for the insane, and many go
there to be cured. Tuberculosis is a
dangerous, infective disease, and our
own little girls might breathe a germ.
So there is the beautiful sanitarium at
Alto. We are proud of Georgia’s liber
ality to both these places—but what
about these crooked little souls that did
not choose their environments? They
did not come of their own will to
drunken fathers and foolish mothers.
Can we afford to neglect them? The
battle of life will find, them illy pre
pared for any emergency, and you know
“Ten thoughts make one action
Ten acts make one habit,
Ten habits make on destiny.”
We are proud of our natural re
sources, but in our worship of the god
dess Getting On let us not forget the
real issue in life—our spiritual re
sources? We must not forget that these
girls may be among our future moth
ers.
Do you remember the Jukes woman
in New York state? Some one hunted
up the records of her descendants and
the total they cost the state was enor
mous, to say nothing of the hundreds
—yes, hundreds of wrecked lives and
tarnished souls. Let’s give these girls
a chance.
Faithfully yours,
. LIZZIE O. THOMAS.

Golden Text: “God giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5,
H E pointed out last week that the
great secret of Joseph's life was
the conscious realization of the
ever-present God. Like that old saint
of a century ago expressed it. he prac
ticed the presence of God. Prison was
anything but desirable under most cir
cumstances, but the prison with the
presence of God was but the entrance
to a palace.
Those last two years would have been
unbearable without that sense of God’s
nearness, as indeed all the other years
would have been. But with God, they
developed certain traits of character in
the young Hebrew slave that made of
him the greatest man in Egypt, and
gave him supremacy over all his father’s
sons. With Faber young Joseph might
have said,
“Ill that Thou blessest is our good,
And unblessed good is ill;
And all is right that seems most wrong
If it be Thy.sweet will."
I have no doubt but that Joseph won
dered many times why the chief butler
had neglected to speak to the king in
his behalf. He may have wondered some
times if the king had refused to pardon
him, and believed the falsehood of Poti-
phar’s wife. However that may nave
been, he knew that in God’s own time
everyting would work out well, for he
knew that God was with him.
The years of prison life gave him time
to think; they drove him oftentimes a
day to prayer; and they made him truly
humble, because they brought him into
more intimate fellowship with the great
God, and he learned to recognize the
fact that he was nothing and God every
thing.
I think that possibly Joseph may
have been wondering some of those
dreary days what would happen if the
Nile should fail to overflow. In Poti-
phar’s house and possibly in his asso
ciation with the chief butler and baker,
he had probably heard them discuss the
dependence of Egypt upon this annual
overflow for its fertility and a good
crop. The overflow was made the occa
sion of a feast of rejoicing. But what
if it should fall? And. I should not
wonder if the young dreamer, with plen
ty of time on his hands in which to
dream and plan, had figured out a
scheme. If he ever got out of there,
and if he ever should be fortunate
enough to own a farm, he would do dif
ferently from the average farmer—he
would lay aside a certain percentage of
his crop every year so that in case of
a failure of the overflow and, therefore,
a bad crop that year, he would have
enough to tide him over.
A TRANSFORMATION.
It may have been from one of these
day dreams that he was aroused by a
call of the jailer. The king had sent
for him; he had a dream or two that
had disturbed his peace of mind very
greatly; he had called on all the ma
gicians and none of them could solve
the riddle; *the chief butler had recom
mended him as one that could surely
give the solution, and the king had
ordered that he be brought as rapidly
as possible. Such was the substance of
the message that Joseph received. He
was overcome with a sense of his in
ability to perform the task. They were
expecting something of him which he
was not able to perform; but as these
thoughts ran through his mind, he re
alized that his God who was present
with him, and to whom all secrets are
open, would do for him and through him
what he could do himself.
Note therefore, the calmness of the
young man, and think how excited you
would have been under similar circum
stances, unless you had been practicing
the presence of God. Thirty years old a
slave for thirteen years, a prisoner
(though without cause) for several years
—called into the presence of the king to
do something.the wisest men of a very
high character had been unable to Qo.
It was enough to flabbergast him. An«
it would have, if he had not known that
God was near. That fact made him
calm. He shaved himself—he had not
done so since he had been in prison; he
changed his garments, not to call atten
tion to himself but to keep attention
fF©m himself (either overdress or under
dress is conspicuous. Only neatness is
unconspicuous.) I am quite sure that all
of that time he had been talking quietly*
with the One who was with him, ana
who alone could help him now. Until
finally he was ready to appear before
the king.
Get a mental picture of that scene—the
be interested in what our children are doing
and to let them feel like they can always find
us ready to listen to them when they come in
with their plans.
Nothing on earth is sweeter, or more attrac
tive than a fine Christian woman and we
mothers are not doing our full duty if we do
not live so as to make our characters, as
Christian mothers, attractive to our children.
Never was there a truer precept than ‘-Train
a child in the way he or she should go, and
when he is old he will not depart from It.”
Let us not forget or grow impatient for these
children are so many characters that wc must
shape. “Character building requires patience,
perseverance and care. To build well, select
the firm foundation—Christ. Let no day pass
•without some progress.”
A little child is a precious pet, often a verita
ble sunbeam, but mothers must not forget that
their girls are growing away from them or
growing more and more like them. And a beau
tiful habit to strengthen the bond between
them is to read the Bible together. That
blessed Book will help in many ways. Your
true friend. V. B. E.
HOW JAPANESE CHILDREN PLAY.
Dear Miss Thomas:—You have asked me to
write to your paper about the way the Japanese
children "amuse -themselves. Please excuse my
awkward English.
When the New Year comes the girls play
battledore and shuttlecock, or with a ball
which is made of cotton and thread. In gen
eral, the Japanese girl does not play out of
doors as the foreign children do, so their plays
are almost all mild and not active.
Boys play with kites and as the days grow
warmer and the flowers bloom in the fields the
little girls and boys go and gather them. The
girls play that they arc the cooks of their
families and play the leaves are vegetables.
The boys are then rolling wheels and flying
kites.
On the third day of March every house in
which there is a girl has a dais on which are
many beautiful or interesting dolls, for these
dolls are handed hown through many genera
tions. The children of the neighbors call at
every house to see the beautiful dolls. This
month little girls and boys take great pleasure
in running, playing hide and seek and similar
games, and in a game called by the Americans
“hop-scotch.”
When May comes every house in which a
boy lives is ornamented by a paper carp on
the top of a tall bamboo as a flag, and they
enjoy seeing them. And as summer comes tho
boys enjoy swimming and rowing boats.
On the fifteenth of July every business is
stopped and the parents go to the temple with
their children. This is called the O Bon Mat-
suri, which means the festival in the middle
of the whole year.
In the autumn there are many Shinto festi
vals and the children await those days very
eagerly. All of the boys enjoy walking through
the streets singing happy songs, playing flutes
and beating drums.
On the first day of August there is almost
the same festival as in March. There are
many doll-warriors, pine trees and horses, ns
the scene of undent times, the horses are made
of rice.
When it becomes cold and the wind begins
to blow violently all of the girls keep indoors
by the fire awaiting the pleasant weather of
spring. And when the snow comes the school
boys have battles and enjoy the healthy exer
cise.
Yours truly,
suzu.
Hiroshima, Japan.
splendor of an eastern court, • the many
uniformed attendants, the richly dressea
king seated on the throne, the simpty
clad Hebrew young man standing before
him. How did Joseph look?
Then hear Pharaoh: I have dreamed,
and none can interpret it. I have heard
that you are an expert in this line, and
can do it.
Watch Joseph. In a respectful manner
he stands with head bowed before hi&
lord and king. In greater humility and
reverence he stands before his Lord and
King. He disclaims any ability above
any one else, but assures the king that
God will give him an answer of peace
through him.
Here was a chance for the swell heart.
Joseph recognized too well his own lim
itations, and had too keen a sense of
God’s presence for anything like that.
“I can’t do anything myself,” said he;
“but God will show you what He win
do” Joseph’s holy intimacy with God
during his prison days made possible
this holy boldness. He had been asso
ciating with God so continuously that
He could speak with confidence as to
what his Friend would and could do.
Just here is where you and I should
pause a moment. How Intimate are you
with God? Enough so for Him to tell
you His secrets? You know what a
very close friend will say and do under
certain circumstances; are you in close
enough touch with God to tell what He
will do? It is possible for you. Jas. 4:17.
UNEXPECTED EXALTATION.
Well, Joseph’s reply gave Pharoah
added confidence. He was not wholly
ignorant of God. He was one of a line
of kings who were usurpers really—the
Hykos, or shepherd kings. They were
foreigners in a sense. The native king
had been overcome, and for a period
of many years the kingdom pf Egypt
was in the hands of these foreigners
who were shepherds; and for this reason
the Egyptians hated all shepherds. He
probably therefore was not wholly ig
norant of God, as the pure Egyptians
were.
He told his story to Joseph. It had
made such a profound impression upon
him that he knew every detail. Often,
like other kings, he had feared disaster
from the failure of the Nile; and this
had probably been the foundation of
his dream, for the scene he depicted, in
its essence, may be seen today along
the banks of the Nile.
Everything is easy to open when we
have the key, and God had given Joseph
the key during his meditation in the
prison days. God cleared his thoughts
of rubbish so he could see immediately
that the dreams were one, and again he
sets God -to the fore, saying. “God hath
showed Pharoah what He is about to
do.” No less than three times did he
tell Pharoah this, untl Pharoah himself
repeated his language. He had learned
his lesson from his young teacher—God
was the Actor. He had shown him what
He was about to do.
Joseph’s suggestion to Pharoah had no
thought in it of himself. He had been
wondering in jail what he would do if
he ever got out of there, and was for
tunate enough to get a farm. He had
finally planned it all out, If—and it
was this plan that he suggested to
Pharoah as, on a large scale, suitable
for the present condition.
The man and his method—his modes
ty, simplicity, practicality—so com
mended themselves to Pharoah that he
proposed to his cabinet that this young
man be made prime minister and put in
charge of this work. * The thing that
impressed Pharoah most of all, however,
was his spirituality. As has been point
ed out, he had some knowledge of God,
and he knew enough to know that a
man in such touch with God was worth
a whole kingdom without Him.
Such an exaltation would have been
more difficult at any other time in
Egypt, but the political situation there
then was such that it could be easily ac
complished. To make it more secure,
Joseph was married to the daughter of
Potipherah the priest. I have wondered
whether this was not the daughter of
his former master (the name may be
the same). It would make a pretty love
story if this is true.
But the' great truth for you and me
is this—Joseph knew and honored God;
therefore God told His secrets to Joseph
and honored him.
Could anyone tell by your face and
words that you are intimate with Him?

PARIS, May 8.—King Alfonso of
Spain reached Paris this morning with
Premier Count Alvaro de Romanones
for a two days’ official visit. It is
popularly regarded as a political event
of the first importance, there being a
general impression among the people
that Spain is to become the ally of
France.
President Raymond Poincare and
Premier Louis Barthou. with the re
mainder of the cabinet, received the
royal party at the station. The king
and the president talked with anima

An immense crowd, which had gath
ered to await *the king, greeted him
with loud cheering.
According to reports from the
provinces, there were no demonstra

WASHINGTON, May 8.—A good, old-
fashioned sewing “bee,” although with
out evidences of needles and thread, was
got under way today with the meeting
of the local section of the Needlework
Guild of America. Mrs. Wilson, wife of
the president; Mrs. Oscar Underwood,
wife of the majority leader of the house,
and a number of other women promi
nent in congressional and diplomatic
circles had announced their intentions
to be present.
The work done by the guild in fur
nishing clothing for the sufferers from
the recent floods in the middle west was
the topic for discussion.
Mrs. George Goodhue, president of the
Dayton, Ohio, section of the organiza

WILSON URGED TO ASK
FOR HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Dr, Harvey W, Wiley and
Others Urge President to Call
Conference to Discuss It
WASHINGTON, May 8.—President
Wilson was urged today by a commit
tee of the American Federal associa
tion to call a general conference to
discuss plans for a federal department
of public health and everything per
taining to the conservation of human
life and efficiency. Prof. Irving Fisher,
of Yale; Dr. John D. Murphy, of Chi
cago; Dr. L. K. Frankie and Dr. Aram
Jacobi, of New York; Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley and Senator Owen urged the
idea.
Prof. Fisher declared that the presi
dent had listened attentively and had
expressed his keen appreciation of the
necessity for public health legislation,
but that until he was able to accumu
late more information and make deeper
study , into the questions involved he
would be unable to commit himself.
Senator Owen had a private talk
with Mr. Wilson on currency reform,
arranging for an early conference to
get at length the president’s views.
William Martin, of Los Angeles, spe
cial representative of the Chinese-
American League of Justice, brought
the president’s attention to what he
termed humiliation suffered by the Chi
nese when admitted to this country.
He declared Chinese business men,
students and scholars exempted from
the exclusion laws were not accorded
courteous treatment when they arrived
in California.

JUDGE WRIGHT’S RULING
MAY CRIMP LOCKERS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga., May 8.—Startling and
novel Interpretation was given to the
prohibition law yesterday afternoon in
a special charge to the grand Jury by
Judge Moses Wright, who declared that
in his opinion it was illegal for a
manager of a locker club to order
liquor for members, or for a friend to
order for friends, employer for em
ploye, etc.
Judge Wright further declared that
it was illegal to operate locker clubs
in such a manner that a charge for
service and other methods were made
to pay the salary or wages Of manager
or employe.
Prohibitionists here are jubilant over
the stand taken by the judge, holding
