Plain Questions Answered.
is much appropriated for schools
And building churches in foreign
lands ?
For several years the Board has
not appropriated a dollar for church
buildings, except what was desig
nated for that purpose by the don
ors, A small per cent of the con
tributions goes for schools.
The schools connected with our
missions are doing a noble work
Brother Bryan writes that the
schools in China are “like Sunday
schools running all the week.'’ "1 he
teachers in them give much in
struction in Bible truth, Of the
schools mentioned by our mission
aries not near all receive help from
the Board. For instance, In North
China seven are mentioned, aud
only two receive any aid from the
Board Let us bear in mind that
it is not many hign and not many
noble who turn to the Lord in
mission lands. The converts gen
erally come from the poorer classes.
The question, then, as to their
children is reduced to this : bhall
they go to heathen or Roman Cath
olic schools, aud there learn their
abominations and evil practices,
and thus the children of our con
verts be taught away from Christ;
or shall they stay away from schools
and grow up in ignorance, since
their parents, unaided, are too
poor to educate them ; or shall we
furnish them a little help?
In some of these schools we are
training teachers and preachers.
Brethren Graves, Simmons, and
others are probably doing no bet
ter work than in the hours in which
thfy are patiently training the
young preachers in the Scriptures,
so that they may go out to preach
*q their own people. Missionaries
must begin tiie work, but the na
tions are eventually to be brought
to Cnrist in large measure through
men reared among them. Not a
very large amount of our funds
goes to schools, and a part of what
is appropriated is sent us for that
purpose. Those who are thus
giving are doing a noble work for
the Master.
In what foreign counties are we
doing mission work ?
We have Missions in six coun
tries : three ol these are Pagan—
-China, Japan, Africa—and three
Ate Papal—ltaly, Brazil, Mexico.

Home Influence.
The home influence is either a
blessing or a curse, either for good
or for evil. It cannot be neutral
In either case it is mighty, com
mencing with our birth ; going
with us through life, clinging to
us i death, and reaching into the
eternal wood. The specific in
fluences of husband and wife, of
parent and child, of brother and
sister, of teacher and pupil united
and harmoniously blended, consti
tute the home influence. Like the
calm, deep stream, it moves on in
silent but overwhelming power. It
strike, its roots deep into the hu-

man heart, and spreads its branches
wide over our whole being. Like
the lily that braves the tempest
and “the Alpine flower that leans
its cheek on the bosom of eternal
snow.” it is exerted amid the wild
est storms of life and breathes a
softening spell in our bosom even
when a heartless world is freezing
up the fountains of sompathy and
love. It holds the empire of the
heart and rules the life. Our
habits, two, are formed under the
moulding power of home. The
“tender twig” is there bent, the
spirit shaped, principles implanted,
and the whole character is formed
until it becomes a habit. The
gray haired father whe walks in
the second infancy, feels the traces
of his childhood home in his spirit,
desires and habits. The most il
lustrious statesmen and eloquent
ministers owe their greatness to
the fostering influences of home,
Napoleon knew and felt this when
he said, “What France wants is
good mothers, and you may be
sure then that France will have
good sons.”
POLITENESS
What is politeness? It consists
of a sincere and honest desire to
promote the happiness of those
around us, and not of false smiles
and flattering words The word
politenees means real kindness,
kindly expressed and also good
breeding or elegance ot manners.
It is a trait which everyone ad
mires and which confers upon its
posessor a charm that does much
to pave the way to success. It has
been said that a “Man’s manners
form his fortune.” Whether this
is really so or not, it is certain that
his manners form his reputation.
If his manners come directly from
a kind heart, they will please though
they b? destitute of graceful pol
ish.
Politeness is as much required at
home as elsewhere. We should do
things willingly and cheerfully.
Shall acts of kindness make life
more pleasant and desirable, they
make the difficulties of life s<em
more trifling and help to wipe
away the tears of sorrow, We
should always show the greatest
politeness and deference to our
friends and parents. Some per
sons are polite everywhere, but at
home and there they are rude in-
deed. Perhaps if they are asked a
question and they are occupied
they will scowl and mutter some-,
thing over to themselves and pay
no attenti n to that one who spoke,
as though they were too iusignifi
cant. How does it sound to hear
a person say “yes” and ‘*no to
everyone, especially to their senior ?
There is scarcely anything more
important in a child than good
breeding,
While it is comparatively easy
to be polite toward strangers, or
toward people of distinction, whom
we meet in society or on public
occasions, still it should be remem
bered that it is at nome, in the
family that au everyday politeness
is really most prized, coming as it
should from the kindly feeling of
the heart.

Where is my boy tonight? You
are his father or mother, and if
you desire to lay your hands upon
your boy within five minutes any
night, you wouldn’t know where
to find him. He’s on the street
somewhere, or at the railroad de
pot jumping on freight trains, butj
just where, with whom, in what|
engaged, what plotting or what
executing for the shrewder ones
who plot for him, you could not
tell for the life of you. He hasal
good home and he ought to be*
there at night. He desires to be
somewhere else with the boys, and
vou lack the moral courage to in
sist that he shall be where he should
be You nope that he will escape
the pitfall, but you know the

What is needed most of all in
bringing up children is example.
What they see and hear and take
in by absorption in iheir young
years, will, in most cases, become
the ruling traits of their lives.
Parents rarely fully realize to what
extent they stand as models to
their children.
