THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1913. C'tXSOOCTtt? * MISS 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.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA. For May 11—Gen. 41:25-40. -HDDS* 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? FOOT AMPUTATED BY HEAVY MOWER (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) • SPARTA.

Anarchists Arrested (By Associated Press.) 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 tion while driving through the Avenue de Boulogne and the Champs Elysees to the king’s temporary residence at the Palais d’Orsay. Twenty-five thousand troops, includ ing infantry and cavalry, lined the route, and artillery salutes were fired in honor of the Spanish monarch. 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 tions during the king’s journey from the frontier to Paris. Seven arrests, however, were made of men who cheeref for the Spanish anarchist Fer- rera, who was shot at Mont Juich fortress in 1909. MRS. WILSON TAKES INTEREST IN SEWING (By Associated Press.)

Mrs. George Goodhue, president of the Dayton, Ohio, section of the organiza tion, was present to tell of her personal experiences in the flooded district. Mrs. George G. Shaw had prepared a num ber of views of the flooded districts which were exhibited by steroptican. Mrs. Wilson is honorary president of the national organization, while Mrs. Truman H.

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.
