No sickness in this section that
we know of, and when we can write
of no sickness it means more than
the average reader will grasp. When
we can lie down at night and say
all is well, how thankful ought we
poor mortals to feel. But, oh my,
how few of us ever return thanks
to Him who rules it all for health.
But when we get siok, or someone
of the family get sick we are the
humblest fellows going.
Mr. John Beard of Hoschton will
sing at County bine Sunday, April

bring your new song hook and let

hope that our work is proving a
blessing to the people around us,
and in the day to come it may put
us in harmony with the Lord; that
we may go forward doing the work
that He would have us do. We
should never he satisfied with what
we are doing. No matter how
great our work may be, keep on
climbing, and press forward as
never before —feeling that God is
giving us an opportunity, and if it
is not grasped it may never return.

A Happy Heme i
A true philosopher has wisely
said; “That house is no home
which holds a grumbling father,a
scolding mother and bad temper
ed children. It may be built of
marble surrounded by garden,
park and fountains, carpets of ex
travagant costliness may spread
its floors, pictures of rare merit
adorn its walls, its every ordering
may be complete yet it'll not be
a home. To make it such there
must be a change of inmates.
OC a change in the inmates, a
new heart and anew life can
make evqn such a residence ns
that a h.ome. lint really, isn't
the wildness, the giddiness, and
| the silliness of the rising genera
tion due more to the passing of
Ihe old fashioned, happy home
circle than anything else? All
our great men, point hack to a
homo circle where father, mother
and children were companions
and wished no greater happiness
than to pass the evening in each
others’ company, reading chat
ting,and discussing current event?
And the old fashioned cultWatictn
of the home circle is passing awatf
The innate good breeding and
politeness engendered by fre
quent intercourse with, well bred
parents is not always met nowa
days. It lias been replaced by
boisterous conduct amd slangy 1
talk, as have the home gathering?
been sacrificed to tile craze of
spending the evening out and go
ing to some entertainment. Cul
tivate the home circle, make it
pleasant, and yon will dose the *
questionable places of ainusem* 1
Look to it ye fathers, ye aiv .e•,
sponsible to the Lord for your
home circle. Did not Joshua de
clare “As for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord.” 1 .
