Morals of the Child. The moral development of the child begins almost as soon as its mental, and the two march hand in hand. The home is the place where correct moral principles should *bd first instilled in the mind of the child, and neglect of this may mean endless suffering for parents and child. Too often this is left to the servants, rela tives, or the teacher later. The parent who can neglect this side of the child’s development, and trust it to somebody else, is not worthy of the responsibility that has been conferred upon her. The neglect is not altogether in tentional but more often due to lack of energy and forethought. The woTk does not begin early enough, and the little mind gets warped before the lessons are taught.—March Woman’s Home Companion. Pure Air.? ; \ I wonder how many housekeep ers know that the air of their rooms in winter is often laden with poisonous vapors. Decaying vegetable! in the pel lar, old flaw- era in stagnant water, (Somebody’s neglected garbage-pail, even a bad ly ventilated room—"all of these are responsible for unhappiness, peevishness and sickness. Rooms may be warm and pure.. The cold room is hot always the well-venti- lated one. Attention to the air we breathe is quite as necessary as the food we eat.—March Wo man’s Home Companion. BAPTIST MEETINGS Beginning the second Sunday in April, a series of meetings will be held at the First Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Wynne, and Dr. J. L. White, pastor of the First Bap tist church of Mac®a. The meet ings will likely continue for some weeks, and much good is expec ted to be accomplished. Dr. White is one of the strongest min isters m the Baptist denomination^ and his sermons Will be a treat to all who hear him. J Push, But Don’t Shove. The advertising merchaut is the one who does the business m these days of push and enterprise. There are more newspaper readers today than ever before in the his tory of the !rorld. The newspaper places your business under the eye of the buyer. He seeB what he wants, and knowing where to find it, looks up the wide awake who asked him to come and see him. Success io these days* of sharp competition calls for eter nal vigilance. You can’t keep a hustler down. Push, but don’t shove. Get a move on you, but don’t kick. Tell the truth, be honest, and use the Georgia Cracker, and success will make How Sankey Composes His Hymns. As he sings, so Mr. Sankey com poses the tunes for his hymns in spired by the feeling of the mo ment. Often he will* stop sud denly m the midst of reading or talking to jot down on the ever- ready music-paper some bit of melody that comes to him. These jottings he gathers together and develops at his leisure, sometimes .fitting them to poems preserved in his scrapbook, sometimes get ting Fannie Crosby or another hymn-writer to write words espe cially for his music. . He once said; “Good words will soon at tract a good tune.” He^ believes in melody always over harmony as a power to move people. —March Ladies’ Home Journal. Education The Hone of The South. On education the hope of the South must rest. Education is means also the. broadening and strengthening of character—^that is the production of men, the word being used in its best sense. If Thomas Jefferson, the great democratic statesman, were alive to-day, he might well say, as he did in the early days of the re public, “Above all things I hope the education of the common peo ple will be attended to.” There is no other way to power, pros per ity and progress.
