THE OPEN HEART.
Would you understand
The language with no word.
Th*' speech of brook and bird.
Os waves along the sand?
i Would you make your own
,! The meaning of the leaves.
" The song the silence wi-av* s
Where little winds made tn*, in?
Would you know bow sweet
The falling of the rill.
The calling 011 the Id!!
AH tunes the days n-; eat?
Neither aims nor art.
. No toil, can help you hear;
I The ■*- ret of the ear
|| Is in the open heart
—John Vance Cheney, in Century.

and a few nice rooted roses, pink red and
white. I will send to ail who will send
postage for same.
Mrs. J. K. Alford, Hall. Tex.—As I
han- not seen letters from this mdghbor
h«H»d, I concluded to write. I think the
Kingdom is improving and am truly glad
the bachelor has a rest at last, for the
*l»ters have marly dissected him. I also
think the duty of man and wife In regard
to their work has been discussed enough.
1 am sure we all know our duty and let
us try to perform our whole duty at ill
time- and help one another, our sunny
southland lias put on her spring iiuire.
the f<n< st trees are gr<-en and loiely flow

as my supply is completely exhausted.
Did not think 1 would receive so many
letters: have sent out hundreds of pack
ages of seeds and still the letters come.
Would willingly send to all. but am out
of s<ed. Would like to hear from Mrs-.
George Pine, of Aripeka, Fla.; wrote her
some weeks ago, but have heard nothing
’ from her yet. Would also like to hear
; from some one who has peonies to ex
! change; < ottld semi chrysanthemums or
dahlias in variety for them; of course
I would mu want them till fall, and could
not send plants or bulbs till fall.
Mrs. M. A. Kendall,l tophi, Fvalde coun
ty, Tex What a nice circle our kingdom
corm-r is. I read and re-read every word
of the Woman's Kingdom, and wish the
paper contained many more such pages.
I fe--l as if Aunt Susie and the kingdom
sis'ers were all dear, kind friends to me,
I iioti'.-ed some time ago where some sis
tor wished some hoarhound. I will send
some to any lady that wants it, for the
postage on the amount she wants, and
any littli thing; chin r for < razy work or
otln r things; also can send, if anyone
want-, otlr-r medieinal barks or balmonla

very useful Information. But now I come
asking help In a task that i hardly know
how to begin. For sometime past I have
been thinking of building a family tree to
hand down to my children. Would like
to trace my ancestors as far back as
those who came from the mother country,
especially on my mother’s side.
My father was the Rev. Thomas Joyner,
a Methodist minister and a member of
the Memphis conference at the time of
his death in 1882. He was also a delegate
to the general conference in IM4.
My mother was a daughter of Rev.
John McGee, who was spoken of some
time ago In The Woman’s Home Compan
ion, Sunny South and other papers as
conducting a meeting, with the help of
his brother. William Mrficc. ami other
ministers of the gospel, in the year of
ISOO in Sumner county, Tennessee, which
led to the practice of holding the camp
meetings of our present day. and also
helped conduct a series of meeffngs about
that time which caused she Cumberland
Presbyterian church to be organized.
John McGee married a Miss Martha
Johnston, who was a daughter of Colonel
William Johnston, an officer in the revo
lutionary war. John McGee's father was
also an officer in that war. but I do not
know what position he held or what
his given name was. Would like to trace
further back than this if possible and
the different branches of the family down
to the present day. Will appreciate any
information any of the sisters may see
lit to give me and try and answer all
letters where information is desired tn
return.

journey—a new year's day. a birthday, an
anniversary, and while we take bie.iili
for a new start it is natural that we
should overlook our luggage and se<- if
there are not some things we can well
afford to leave behind us. and other thing*
of which we need a more abundant sup
ply. What is worth keeping? What
should be thrown away? These occa
sions ar*- good times for heart search
ing and cleansing, for moral and spiritu
al unloading. In our journey through the
vear we have no doubt accumulated many
things in our stock of moral and spiritual
possessions for which we hav- no fur
ther need —in fact, ue nevet haie any n* -I
for them tind since the day we added
them to our stock they have only been a
weight and hindrance to us. They ar,-
not worth keeping; throw them aiiay.

might have more time and room and

and darkening al! the prospects of the
future. This is true also of you and m*-.
am! It were far better for us to follow
this illustrious example ami "forget." Oh.
sometimes, my brothers, wo are cumbered
with a load of worthless, useless rubbish,
which we have been years and years ac
cumulating. It makes us weary to carry
it; it makes us hard and selfish and
wicked to carry it. It is not worth k.-. p
ing; let it go and take a new start with
n fresh stock. Sometimes we have an
old prejudice against som.-thing or some
body, and for many years we have car
ried it. nourished and cherished It and
never allowed it to die, as it would have
done had not we given it constant and
special attention. Persons and tilings
which otherwise would have ministered
to our happiness, to our growth in holi
ness. spiritual power and beauty *>f life
we have allowed to become o asions for
fault-finding, for harshness and bitter
ness. and thus have we lost the joy. the
sweetness and strength we might have
had. We are weaker and poorer and far
more unchrlstlanlike for having such
things as that among the assets of our
Ilves.
Then there is the old grudge. You can
hardly realize how long you have had
that with you. ft is surprising how a
wicked thing like that can fasten itself
upon one —and soon become a part of all
the thought and plan and purpose. Yea.
*.f the very life itself, when you began to
cherish that you let sum,- other and better
things die, perhaps you were wrong,'<l.
That in ly b*-. but cherishing the thought
of it and laying it uw y among your
permanent possessions, as a grudge to be
brought forth when opport unity offered
for "evening up," was a *ln, and it has
made the iff,' hard and better ami unspir
itual and has so marr <1 the Savior's like
ness in you that no one - ver sees a re
tlection of His life in yours. L, t it die,
whatever it may be. however just you
may belie'.,- you were, and however cul
pable another may have been, let it die—it
is not worth keeping.
