Convuc-rt,e
to MISS
LIZZIE O. THOMAS
GOOD WISHES.
“I do not wish thee life supremely
fair,
1 do not wish thee freedom from all
care,
I do not wish thee prosperous days of
wealth,
I do not wish thee beauty, wisdom,
health;
But first I wish thee Christ, to bo
thine own.
To claim thy heart’s dear love His
royal throne,
For THEN I know, earth shall become
as heaven.
And other blessings, if He wills, be
given.
“Would that this little greeting could
. express
How earnestly I wish you happiness.
May all sunshine life can hold
Be yours and fill your days with gold,
“i would flood your path with sun
shine,
I would fence you from all iii.
I would crown your life with bless
ings
If I could but have my will.
Aye, but human will may err, dear,
And a power all wise is near—
So I only pray God bless you and
God keep you through the year.”
The Denver baby show must have
been an interesting event. The fact
that mere beauty or avoidupois did not
count must have been a matter of as
tonishment to many. A dimple, a little
trick of the eyes, a smile, are alluring
no matter who has them; but in a
baby they are enchanting, or fascinat
ing. But this baby show was - to give
the parents of children two years old
and under some ideals to cherish, and
work on, so that the next generation
may be stronger than this. Better fed,
better handled and better managed ba
bies means fewer nerves, less dyspep
sia and a more even tempered race in
the next generation. ,
Every one, almost every one at any
rt.te, knows that the death rate of
children under two years old is enor
mous. In the homes of poverty it is
appalling and in the homes of the rich
it is not rare, this visit from Azrael,
and the fact has been accepted as in
evitable until within the last few
years. There was a time when death
Mas looked, upon as an act of God that
should be borne uncomplainingly, about
like an anomal accepts separation. But
our widened horizon, our clearer con
ception of cause and effect has taught
us that many a little child has en
tered the pearly gates because its pa
rents, nurse or some one responsible
for its well-being was more fond than
wise, or more selfish than fond. Many
a man and woman, boy and girl is to
day suffering from the effects of too
much sentiment and too little common
sense when their parents were select
ing their food or sharing goodies. More
times than one colera infantum, or
some other childish disease, has been
traced to the “just this bit, it can’t
hurt him.” And when the waxen
nands were folded over the pulseless
heart, th e eyelids closed over the eyes
that smiled so often, the “mysterious
ways of Providence” were talked about.
I wouldn’t have any one think me
hard or " uncharitable. It is my belief
that the sooner we learn that a young
child has a stomach as delicate as the
lining to the eye, that its nerves are as
fine as the most delicate adjusted in-
stEument, and that it is a little bundle
of films ready for impressions that I am
not sure eternity is not to inherit, just
that much sooner will the future be
freer from disease and disaster and
many mothers’ hearts gladdened with
healthy children.
I saw a boy, a few days ago; who has
had to drop out of school because he
simply could not keep up with the
work; his mother blames her mother
with it. The old lady was a bit daft
on the subject, and gave her first grand
child peanuts when he was a month old.
Oh, yes, she chewed them first—an act
that has no equal, in my opinion, for
imposing on helpless infancy. But. you
ask me, how am I going to account for
all the deaths if Providence is not go
ing to be allowed to shoulder the re
sponsibility? I am not going to try to
account for them—“God moves in a mys
terious way. His wonders to perform.”
He permits many things just as He per
mitted Eve to listen to the serpent; we
are free agents, too free sometimes. All
sorts of things happen and we are none
the wiser, and where the fatalist puts
the blame, or cause on good or bad luck
some of us put it on Providence. All
sorts of diseases take us off and the
proper thing to do is to be always vig
ilant and keep our environments as free
from the elements of disease as possi
ble. There are never the scourges these
days that there were years ago, for in
this age of investigation and enlight
enment microbes, germs and bacteria
have been studied and their manage
ment discovered.
What was once called good or bad
luck in keeping things fresh and whole
some is now known by the plain every
day terms clean and dirty, sanitary and
insanitary, and the health of the world
is better. I was once in a city where
all dish rags were ordered burned. If
you have studied household economics
you have studied the growth and habits
of mold. The tiny atoms are in the
air like the point of the finest needle,
yet as soon as one touches its congenial
soil, so to speak, it begins to grow.
And if you want to see a flourishing ex
ample all you have to do is to open a
can of tomatoes, expose them an hour
or less time, then set them away a few
days and they will have as fine a crop
of mould as any one would care to see.
What about your canned fruit?
Several years ago I wrote a Chat on
canning and emphasized the importance
of sterilizing everything used in the
work. The next spring more than one
woman wrote me that for the first time
she had been able to keep her canned
goods. She had never sterilized things
before the previous season. Some fail
to cook those with small seed long
enough to kill the germ, and that causes
fermentation.
All this brings us back to the sub
ject of better methods for caring for
the babies.
A milk supply company in New York
originated this movement of showing
the really perfectly, formed baby. Un
scrupulous dealers are not confined to
New York I am sorry to say, and the
milk that your precious baby drinks
may not be pure. Are you sure about
the cow’s drinking water? Is her health
gpod? Is the place in which she is
kept the sort that would not have
motes laden with disease settle in the
milk while coming from the cow’s ud
der? How much hot water and sun
shine do the milk vessels get, and
where is the milk kept? What sort of
health has the milker? Not for an in
stant would I have you a faddish, n^r
a creature of extremes—just* a sane
clean methodical individual, one of the
sort that stands for better health and
happier homes. Yes, happiness is
largely a matter of health, and vice
versa, for the dyspeptic, the sufferer
from nerves, seldom are happy them
selves nor will they let others enjoy
much happiness around them.
I read a pretty good thing the other
day. Some one advanced the theory
that nagging comes from an itching
brain. As one can not very well get
at one’s brain to relieve the affected

“Worth mountains of gold,” says one woman. Another
says, “I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world ” Still another writes, “ I should like to have the
merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills.”
. We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken fropj the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health bps been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success ? V T hy has it lived and thrived and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 30 years ?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim
ply because there is no other medicine so good for women’s ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer’s desk—only two
of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo
man who mil read them—and be guided by them.

Golden Text: “He that loveth hia brother, abideth in the lifTht.”
It was not long before the supply of
wheat they had brought from Egypt
was exhausted, and the sons of Jacob
found themselves on the verge of want.
There was still no harvest, and the re
ports from Egypt, the source of their
grain supply were anything but encour
aging.
No doubt they had been discussing
frequently the return, their father’s at
titude to it. Simeon’s detention and the
unexplainable fact of their money hav
ing been returned. This discussion grew
more acute as it became evident that
they would have to return. Their chil
dren were beginning to suffer for the
lack of staple food. They had fruits
and meats in abundance, but they lacked
wheat. Israel would not consent to let
Benjamin go, and the men would not
consent to go without him. The prime
minister had so impressed them with
his firmness, that they knew it would
be absolute folly for them to go back
without Benjamin. They discussed the
matter for several weeks, in fact, long
enough for them to have made the trip
if they had decided to go at once; until
finally Judah agreed to be surety for
Benjamin if his father would consent
for him to go. Israel did not have much
hope of ever seeing him again, but it
was a case of absolute necessity, so he
consented, saying, “If I am bereaved of
my children, I am bereaved.”
The fact that they were not in dire
want is shown not only by the fact
that they could afford such a trip, but
also by the present that they carried
to the prime minister. I do not think
that they were trying to buy his favor.
It was customary for one in visiting an
other to bring a gift. Their gift was
evidence of their loyalty in visiting an
other ruler. Besides this, they brought
back the money which had been re
turned (to show their honesty) and an
equal amount with which to purchase
other supplies. But most important of
all, they brought Benjamin. (It may
be forcing an interpretation, but I am
impressed with this truth just here. No
gift that we can bring to Christ will
demand His favor, unless we bring
“Benjamin,” because He has commanded
that).
JOSEPH S POWER.
The journey was over. When they
reached the palace they were ushered
into the presence of the chief steward
of the prime minister. They were ex
tremely discomfited, particularly when
they heard that they were to be car
ried to the house of the prime minister
himself. They began to make explana
tion of the money that had been found
in their sacks, assuring them that they
knew nothing of it, and trying to ab
solve themselves from any blame. The
answer of the chief steward is quite
remarkable, and showed better than
anything else the spiritual power that
Joseph was exercising. Listen to his
words: “Peace be to you. Fear not;
your God and the God of your father
hath given you treasure in your sacks.
I had your money.”
Think of such a statement coming
from a servant of a heathen court.
There is but one explanation to offer
for it. Can you supply it? Could it
have happened than for any other rea
son than that Joseph had exercised his
opportunities and had taught those
about him to know and fear his God
and the God of his father?
Then to reach them he brought
Simeon out and restored him to them.
When they founud their brother,
who had been held as a hostage, strong
and well, they began to recognize that
in some strange way they were in the
hands of their friends, but just how
they could not tell. And then the
steward had them prepare for the noon
meal, which they learned was to be
taken in the house of the prime minis
ter. The asses of their caravan were
unloaded and fed, and they themselves
were royally treated.
JOSEPH’S TENDERNESS.
When the prime minister reached
heme at noon everything was in readi
ness for him. When they werp brought
into his presence they bowed them
selves to the ground before him and
presented their gifts. The prime min
ister was particularly interested in
their welfare, asking minutely of their
father, to all of which questions they
replied. When he saw Benjamin he
was overcome. You must remember
that it had been about twenty years
since he had seen the boy, who was
quite small when he left. I think
there may have been some resemblance
to his mother that opened the gates of
Joseph’s heart and completely overcame
him. He had to leave the room hastily
and wept from joy and also from the
sweet remembrance of the past. Then
he washed his face and went back, re
straining himself, and ordered the meal
to be served.
Jacob’s sons were very much sur
prised to note that in the arrangements
of their seats they were seated in the
order of seniority. When the meal was
served the prime minister had portions
served to them from his own table, but
served Benjamin five times as much as
any of the brothers. There was not
only a touch of love in this, but also
a very keen touch of humanity, for a
young man of Benjamin’s age could
consume a good deal more than the
older men could. The wonder in the
whole is the density of these men. It
does look like they would have guessed
now who the prime minister was, but
they were blind as to his identity.
That was a merry meal that they had.
I suppose that if anyone enjoyed it any
more than another it was the young
man, Benjamin, who had never seen
anything like' this before—unless it was
the prime minister who had the pleas
ure of giving it.
As we think over this story, these
things stand out prominently. Joseph’s
positiveness, his power, his influence for
good over those who waited before him,
and his tenderness. He was as positive
as a ruler could be and as tender as a
woman. In spite of all of the responsi
bilities that were placed upon him, he
had time enough to teach the individuals
of his court to know and to revere his
God and the God of his fathers.
The other interesting fact is the dis
tress and the density of his brothers.
How can we explain this? Joseph’s
character is explained by the fact of his
life which we have mentioned before,
having the consciousness of the pres
ence of God with him. It was that
which made him positive; it was that
which gave him power with those about
him. On the other hand, it was sin
which explained the attitude of the
brothers. Their eyes were blinded by
sin. Sin explained their distress and
their discomfort; Sin made them dense
so that they could not see the prime
minister as their friend and their broth
er.
And just here lies the practical lesson.
Every day some proof of God’s grace
has been given to you, but you have
been so dense that you have not seen the
Giver in it. You have not realized who
He is or what He is. and you have been
discomforted and distressed and dis
couraged. If you were but cleansed by
the blood of Christ, if you woul but
yield your life to him, repenting of your
sin, you would find that all the time you
have been in the presence of your Elder
Brother whose every desire is for your
good. May it be granted to you that
however you may have, as Joseph had,
the consciousness of Gd’s presence al
ways.
part the unfortunate next-at-hand suf
fers. Many a poor little child has
paid the penalty of that “itching
brain.” Its a habit that grows, one
that is most unfortunate and unpleas
ant. As the cause is said to be a phys
ical ailment that sends a quiver to the
brain let us all see that it is cured,
or curbed.
That old nursery rhyme,
“Mollie, my sister, and I fell out,
And what do you think it was about?
She loved coffee and I loved tea.
And that was the reason we couldn’t
agree.”
Wasn’t that a small matter to fuss
about? Yet, if analyzed, most of the
domestic crises come from quite as
trivial beginnings. Mollie, most likely,
wanted the sister to drink coffee and it
was not relished. If Mollie was strong
minded she could think of a dozen rea
sons for her sister to drink coffee, but
none why she should have the cup
that is supposed to cheer.
Individuality in children is often
dwarfed by a parent with a disposition
like another in the same family who
will have peace at any cost, even to
“sneaking” things to keep the belliger
ent one from fussing. Selfishness, ego
tism and that domineering spirit usual
ly go hand in hand. I wonder if there
is not another section of the brain itch
ing when such subjects come up?
1 used to know a woman who would
not let her husband cut his biscuit. Per
sonally, I prefer mine pulled apart, but
if the man wanted to cut his why should
she notice it? This woman has been dead
for years, so please don’t any of you
mark this paper and send to a relative.
That seems to be a habit of some these
days.
Those nursery jingles almost always
have a grain of common sense some
where. I’ve always had a picture in
my mind of the real woman who got up
the rhymes for her children, and I be
lieve she gave them some wholesome
lessons in some of them, and we might
look for them and adopt them to our
selves.
But more anon, this Chat is getting
too “monopolistic,” taking too much
room. Faithfully yours.

HABITS
Dear Household: In Proverbs. 14:12. we read:
“There is a war which seeuieth right unto a
man. hut the ends thereof are the ways of
death.”. Often this is the case with people
who say, “Well, there does not seem to he any
harm in my taking a social drink, or playing a
game of cards or dancing, or starting what
seems to he innocent. (?) habits.” What s the
usual result?
You have often seen people spend many a
dollar on tobacco whose only excuse was, “I
must save my teeth.” when it would cost him
hut a few dollars to have his teeth fixed. One
of the filthiest habits is that of a woman
using snuff. If you should ever have to enter
a borne to inspect it for Its tidiness, and the
woman of the house meets you at the door with
a mouth full of snuff, don’t go any farther,
for nine eases out of ten their homes are
like their mouths—unclean. So far as the
harm is concerned, there Is no more harm for
a woman to take social drinks, use snuff,
“cuss” and lead a worldly life in general
than it is for a man. You have seen girls
marry young mea who were habitual drunk
ards, thinking they could reform them. The re
sult is they spend a lifetime In repentance.
This* is where women encourage the drink
habit.
“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
There are no idle minds. When our minds are
not full of good thoughts, they are full of bad
ones with plans to carry them out.
Most anybody can form a bad habit, hut it
takes a man to quit and stay quit. There is
no credit for a person to start a had habit,
but a person who turns his heels on bad habits
and quits them, deserves much credit. Our
l>odies are temples. God is the Architect, you
are the builder or contractor, Satan is the
destroyer. Our bodies are like our lives: they
are what we make them.
Do you know that behind every suicide there
is a sin. and in a majority of cases they are
the result of had habits and bad thoughts?
Did you know that it is just as important for
you to keep your mind and body clean ns it is
to keep your house swept and garnished? Paul
said if eating of meat causes mv brother to
fnll. I’ll eat no meat. So it should be with us.
if our bad habits cause some one else (and they
usually do) to take them up, let us stop them.
In 1st Corinthians, 9:25, we read: “And every
■man that striveth for the masterly Is tem
perate in all things.” If you expect to become
an expert in your line of business, it is abso
lutely necessary that you abstain from all bad
habits. If you will pefmit it, your mind will
act as an interpreter. Read the book of Daniel
for an example of what good habits and a tem
perate life will profit a man.
This letter would be too long for our limited
space if I should try to say all I want to
on this subject, but 1 shall come again soon.
Sincerely,

COMFORT.
Dear Miss Thomas: At some time In our lives
fortunate indeed is the individual whose
lire has only one or two of such times, but at
some time in all lives there comes some event
that seems to make life seem a huge failure
It seems as if the work of a lifetime is going
in one “fell swoop,” as if all the plans were
going to tail, as if the keystone of the arch
had been taken out and one’s life work would
collapse.
And I am sorry to say then is when Satan
has his clutches ready to claim one. Then is
when the thought comes*that if there is a
Higher Power there also seemed to be a slipped
cog or grounded wire for all the help that
Power was to you.
But right then Is the crisis and in that dark
hour cither just such a battle as Jacob fought
is repeated or Satan wins an easy victory.
This is not theory. My life has been a suc
cession of struggles, and It has seemed to me
that every time I undertake a new enterprise or
launch out into a little deeper water there is a
succession of unforeseen events to criDPle mv
efforts.
There have been more than two or three oc
casions when it has seemed to me that there
was no use trying, just as well quit the race
and idle along with the majority, with the
down-and-out crowd. But there has always
been an unexpected hand held out to help me.
And I am not by myself.
There are some passages that have helped
me so much that I am going to quote them
here. We have some fine poetry, good letters
and able editorials on this page and with Miss
Thomas’s permission, I am going to give you
the keys that have unlocked some treasure
houses for me.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
words shall not pass away.
“Ye know In all your hearts and in all your
souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the
good things which the Lord your God spake con
cerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and
not one thing hath failed thereof.”
“Be strong, . . . and work; for I am with
you, saith the Lord of hosts, not by might, nor
by power, but by my Spirit, said ‘the Lord of
hosts.”
And when you succeed do not throw your
head back and let the people praise you. Give
thanks unto the One who really lifted you out
of the depths of despair and tell the people
this: “I know whom I have believed, and am
persuaded that He is able.”
Able to do exceedingly abundantly above all
that we ask or think.
Able to make all grace abound toward you:
that ye, always having all sufficiency In all
things may abound to every good work.
“Able to succor them that are tempted.
“Able ... to save them to the utter
most that come unto God by Him, seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession for them.
“Able to keep you from falling, and to pre
sent you faultless before the presence of His
glory with exceeding joy.
“Believe ye that I am able to do this? Yea
Lord, according to your faith be it unto you.”
Now this does not mean that any one can sit
with folded hands and wait, nor is there any
excuse for recklessness. The- thing to do is
to work and then after toiling all the night,
or many nights and days just as the end of
our resources seem to be reached, the unex
pected comes to pass and lo, the cloud is lift
ed from our horizon. Be strong, be of good
courage. Sincerely, DORCAS.
"BRIEF STATEMENT” IS
Statement Will Be Used as Cir
culating Tract-Few Changes
Are Made
Shortly after the southern assembly
of the Presbyterian church convened
Tuesday afternoon, the “brief state
ment” as reported on by the special
committee came before the convention
and was passed by a vote of 11.9 to 64
with certain changes.
A brilliant discussion on the part of
those in favor and against the report
cf the committee occurred before the
question was called for. Dr. James I.
Vance, of Nashville, Tenn., suggested
that the brief statement be recommit
ted to a committee numbering three
more members than the one which had
already reported, and be reported on at
the convention next year. This motion
was lost by the close vote of 88 to 80.
Shortly after the motion of Dr.
Vance was put, the previous question
was called for, and the report adopted,
with certain changes which had been
passed at Tuesday morning’s session.
The statement will be circulated as a
tract among the members of the
church.
AS TO FEDERAL COUNCIL
For the remainder of the session
following the adoption o fthe “brief
statement” commissioners of the
southern assembly debated pro and con
over the minority report of the com
mittee on foreign correspondence. There
were charges that the federal council
is attempting to influence national
polities and preparing to adopt a social
service regime contrary to the belief
of the Presbyterian church.
Champions of the report and those
opposing it were about evenly divided,
making it practically an impossibility
to venture an opinion as to the outcome
of the balloting **
Sharp attacks against the council \jt
the Churches of Christ in America were
made by Dr. T. M. Lowry, of Memphis,
Tenn., who presented the report, re
question the assembly to withdraw
from the powerful union, and by Rev.
R. M. Hall, of Galveston, Tex.
The report of Dr. Lowry followed
that of Dr. Thornton Whaling, presi
dent of Columbia Theological seminary,
Columbia, S. C., and chairman of the
committee on foreign correspondence.
Dr. Whaling was free to admit that
there were many things about the fed
eral council which are disapproved by
southern Presbyterians, but urged the
assembly nevertheless to remain in the
fold.
