ease and grace of manner that is surprising, when wisely and kindly dealt with. One of the effects on children ruled by brute force is that of a shifting eye-the soul is unable to face that of others. Another result is to blunt its sensibility of right and wrong; it fosters the spirit of distrust and untruthfulness and also tends to make the child cruel. ⚫ I am, and always have been, opposed to the use of the rod as a punishment, and it is becoming more and more out-of-date. As a teacher during ten years, I never used it or punishment of any kind. I used only love and moral suasion in teaching, just as I did with my own child who now stands squarely for principle.

All the wrong thots of generations will crowd into the muddled brain of a drunkard over his cups.

All these sad things are object lessons to us that should teach us that, not only for our own benefit, but for posterity as well, we must become masters of our own thots. It is what we think, more than what we say, that matters most. The time is drawing near, indeed it is now here, when men and women can no longer conceal from the wise their habits of thot; their features, their eyes, their movements, all tell the story. Lights and shadows play about them, and the colors thereof are a perfect wireless code to those who know and understand it-to say nothing

Mother's Voice

Written by Maria Rose Ruth Hilton

LAW OF UTILITY

Woman is rapidly rising; awakening to the vital fact, i.e., that the mother, during the nine months of gestation, imparts, according to the degree of her intelligence and understanding, that which either blesses or curses her offspring-that which develops thru the future years, intelligence, wisdom and understanding, or that which savors of ignorance and stupidity.

The awakened world begins to recognize the vital importance of Mother's Mission, realizing that in her hand alone lies the destiny of the future generations, not only of America, the Savior Nation, but of the whole world.

Woman is today the greatest factor in all manifestation. The Omnipotent has entrusted to her the greatest responsibilities. That she may realize more fully the importance of her position and be enabled and prepared to fulfill her supreme trust, requires proper and scientific education. Woman is naturally endowed by the Creator with all the attributes of mind and heart necessary to

a perfect life, perfectly expressed, if she will but recognize and apply her inborn knowledge to the every-day walks of life.

What is ordinarily called the kitchen, becomes to her the most interesting and important of laboratories. Here she finds ample opportunity for applying her knowledge of dietary chemistry, turning it into scientific channels.

Mother, as the Queen of her household, naturally is responsible for not only the kind of food provided for her family, but the way in which that food is prepared. The health and harmony of the members of her household depend directly upon scientific feeding. She must understand the law governing selection, "compoundation," as well as that of proper combinations; also taking into consideration the basic principle governing each member of her household. Proper selection of foodstuffs, rightly compounded, scientifically combined and blended, will lay a constructive foundation for all time to come and impart the blessings of perfect health, happiness and prosperity, which are man's natural birthright.

Mother stands for construction in every department of life; she must apply her inborn knowledge to every avenue of expression and realize that she stands for the law of utility scientifically applied.

THE MASTER IS COMING

They said: "The Master is coming to honor the town today,

And none can tell in what house or home the Master will choose to stay."

And I thought while my heart beat wildly, “What if He should call at mine?

How would I strive to honor and entertain the Guest Divine?"

And straightway I went to toiling, to make my house more neat,

I swept and polished and garnished and decked it with blossoms sweet.

I was troubled for fear the Master might come ere my task was done;

So I hastened and worked the faster, and watched the hurrying sun.

But right in the midst of my duties a woman came to my door;

She had come to tell me her sorrow, and my comfort and aid implore.

And I said: "I cannot listen or help you any today, I am looking for a greater and nobler guest," and the woman went away.

But soon there came another, a cripple old and gray, And said: "Oh, let me rest a while at your home,

I pray.

I've traveled far since morning, I'm hungry, faint and weak;

And I said: "I cannot listen, or help you any today; I'm looking for a greater and nobler guest," and the pleader went away.

And the day wore onward swiftly, and my task was

nearly done,

And a prayer was ever in my heart, that the Master yet might come.

And I thought I should spring and meet Him, and treat Him with utmost care,

When a little child stood beside me with a face so sweet and fair.

Sweet, but with marks of tear-drops, and his clothes were tattered and old;

A finger was bruised and bleeding, and his little bare feet were cold.

And I said: "I'm sorry for you; you are sorely in need of care,

But I cannot stay to give it, you must hasten otherwhere."

And at the words a shadow swept o'er the blue-veined

brow.

"Some one will clothe and feed you, dear, but I'm too busy now."

At last the day was ended, my work was over and

done;

My house was swept and garnished, and I watched in the dusk alone

Watched, but no footfall sounded, no one paused at my gate:

No one entered my cottage-door-I could only pray and wait.

I waited till night had deepened, and the Master had not come;

"He has entered some other door!" I cried, "and gladdened some other home.

My labor has been for nothing," and I bowed my head

and wept;
