THE NORTH GEORGIAN VOL. XX V 111. Home Circle Column. Pleasant Evening Reveries —A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT. Go to church thut you may win in the great battle of life, The greatest battlefield on which a man ever fought is within himself. The greatest defeats are there and the might iest victories, Victory on the field of one’s own heart means victory elsowhere. The greatest mastery is self mastery. Every true man, every true woman, recognizes this. Sin first stole our self-master}’away. It must be charged and flanked and gripped. What the particular enemy is each in dividual knows, openly or secretly. What is it, O, woman backbiting, gossip, mischief making, selfishness? You, O, man—blasphemy, temper, appetite, passion? Have you gone down to defeat again and again—see your colors drag at the very time you should have been most ea: ily the triumphant victor? That’s good. Then you know the weak point in your line. That’s where the hottest conflict is to be fought. There’s the key to the whole situation. You’ll hat e to mass your batteries there. Temptation to dishonesty ? bight it, “Are those goods all wop;?” said a woman to a little shopkeeper. “They were, Madam, before the revivals at our church. They are not now.” Uncleanliness, cow ardice and discouragement are the soldier’s weakest points, bind out that point and defend it with all your strength. Vic tory consists in holding on a moment longer. If you want to conquer your great vice you must go to church. • It is in church and church alone that you will find the weapons with which to successfully wage the fight. The Go to Church movement is sweeping onw'ard. It is irresist ible. Join it now. Do not delay. Go to church next Sun day. oi. v\illvdui- neighbors there. Yc-- will he sdad to see them, They will be glad to see you. Mothers sometimes forget that the active and receptive styge of childhood in the nursery is never surpassed nt a lat er period. The little on? is taking impressions every moment, acquiring gentle habits or the opposite, picking up words and sentences, surprising his elders by the facility with which he learns what hey would rather he would not know. In the baby’s home the foundation is laid for the good or bad msnners of the mature man. i. ■ " ■■■ 1 i- ■"! ' ■" ■ - ■—-gi' 1 Why should you go out to tea and praise your neighbor’s ■muffins, when yoa have forgotten to tell mother how good hers were? Wh.f should you announce how much Mr. Wil son over the way knows, when father is a great deal better informed man, and it has never entered your little head to whisper quietly to him how much you appreciate his wis dom ? You keep your ability to discover faults for the home while the eye that should look for virtues is closed tightly until you go out. We should strive to make ourselves such members of the household band that our absence is like the loss of sunshine from a summer day. We can do it if we enter the right spirit of home. The idea seems to exist among us that to be po lite to each other in the family circle is foolish and like “put ting on airs.” We must rid ourselves of this notion and act on the principle that whatever helps to make our intercourse pleasanter with those outside the family circle should be brought into use there. Profanity never did any man the least good’ No man is the richer, the happier, or wiser for it. It commends no one to any society. It is disgusting to the refined ! abominable to the good; insuiting to those with whom we associate ; de grading to the mind ; unprofitable, needless and injurious in society. Young man, don’t be prolane. Home is where mother lives. And whether you be prince or peasant, one of the sweetest spots on earth is the abode of your mother. GUMMING.
