VOL. LIV. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., MARCH 4, 1899. NO. 9 'gxpzxicncz Qcp-xxXmnnt. What Do You Mean to the People Who Know You-.-What do You Stand For? let Premium.—There come times in our lives when it is well to stop, look around, and take our bearings. Such a pause though brief is good, for one may institute a court of in. quiry and ask himself in all sincerity what do I mean to the people about me? If we could see ourselves and our actions from the standpoint from which our neighbors and friends view them, how much unhappiness might be averted. But it is almost impossible for us to know exactly what we represent in the eyes of others. To make life pleasant to those around us, is one of the most beautiful of christian duties, and can only be accomplished by liberality of mind and charity of heart. They who boast of their independence of thought and action are simply showing their own conceit and selfishness, and deserve the derision of their fellows. Dependence is a great law of our nature, and each Individual in some degree influences, whether he wishes to ornot, the lives that touch his. A certain mental and spiritual atmosphere surrounds each person, in other words, every one casts a shadow. There hangs about each of us a kind of penumbra, a strange indefinable something which is usually called personal influence. This magnetism, If such we may call it, goes with ua wherever we go. It cannot be put on or off as we would a garment, but it is constantly reaching out from our life like light from a flame, or perfume from a flower. Thus without being conscious of it we are always influencing others by this peculiar personal power. Others watch our deeds and their actions are modified by ours. One noble act has turned other lives toward a career of usefulness. The power of influence is truly wonderful, not even death puts an end to it. Then how carefully we need to guard itl Do our lives mean blessing to the community in which we live? There is no way of making sure that our influence shall be always helpful, except to be filled with the spirit of Ohrlet. Just in the degree that his spirit of love rules our lives will mean what we ehould to those about us. We are going to leave our kindred and friends one of these days. What are we going to leave to them? Some of us will not have much money to leave, some of us none at all. Oan we think of leaving less than pleasant memories to them? There is much said in these days about woman's work; the greatest work any woman can do will De to make her life such that it will always carry sunshine to others. Sometimes the housekeeper forgets this holy privilege, and is absorbed in the routine work. Homely duties have their place, but without an earnest effort to add hope and beauty to the lives about her, this busy woman will have missed the blessedness of the larger living. AU the world needs to become perfect,Is good men and women, and out of such commonplace lives as oure, noble liveg can be made. You remember what Ruskin says about the black mud or slime of the city street, ln itself moet repulsive, how it Is composed of four elements, clay, carbon, soot, silica or sand, and water; separate these, the clay particles left to follow their own instinct of unity become a clear, hard substance, reflecting the loveliest blue rays. We call it the sapphire. The carbon changes its blackness for the Power of reflecting all the rays of the sun; we know it as the diamond. The sand arranges •tself in a mysterious way and we have a beautiful opal. Last, the water becomes a dewdrop or a sparkling snowflake. And so we fashion out of unpleasant surroundings Kems of character which shall stand for all that is puro and noble. There are so many discouraged hearts on every side; may we not carry too much hope and new inspirations? Set the belle of our own eoul to ringing, and opportunities for helping others will multiply. Let gratitude to (iod and kindness toward man, shine out through our faces, and people will forget that our features are irregular and homely. One who delights ln scattering sunshine, who longs to transform some part of the waste, weed-filled world into usefulness and beauty, can not utterly fall, but will stand for much that is uplifting and helpful. How much hopeful words and kind wishes smooth the rough path of every day, the thoughtful reader can calculate from his own experience. A Ueadkk. Parke Oounty. 2d Premium.—This Is a search question that I doubt if any one of m can answer truly. What I mean to myself, what my desires, wishes, alms in life are, I might tell, but what I mean to others, well, that is something I can never know this side the great unknown; not until the book of accounts is opened can any human being know what he or she has meant to those around. I once heard a young .woman eay that if one should speak of her and say, "she is a Ohristsan," she would con sider it the highest compliment, that could be paid her. I feel a good deal ihe same way, and when I eay the word Christian, I mean a very great deal. I do not mean a person who goes to church, who reads the Bible, who makes public prayers and wjio leads meetings, either man or woman. What I do mean, per haps, I cannot tell. I mean a person who ie kind-hearted and sympathetic, a person who does not place money atthe head of the list of desirable thinge. but who rather values the feelings of others more, and who even thinks It better to ba honest than to make a money gain through underhanded means. I would like to mean to my family its center or heart around which all else might revolve. I do not aim to be the ' head of the family" but I should like to be its heart. I want my children to be able to come to me at all times and all circumstances, absolutely certain of sympathy and love. I want them to feel that, although I cannot approve of their doings, I am etill In sympathy with them, and thus have their entire confidence at all times. I never want to be too busy or too hurried or too tired to lend a listening ear to them, oi any one else who needs mc in any way. It is a blessed thing to be needed, although it sometimes seems a taxing thing. I want to mean—I was about to say "just:" but I think I would rather be merciful even than just. I ehould never want to mean condemnation to a wrong doer, no matter what tho wrong doing. I hold there ie Inherent in every human eoul a divinty, and that this however encrusted with sin or shame, with wrong doing or evil, will and must respond to an absolutely kindly and sympathetic help. The wrong doer may be overcome with temptation and yet the effect of one one's kindness is never loet, although it often seems to be. It U better to err on the side of mercy than on the other side. Is it not easier for you to do things if you know some kindly one wants and hopes you will do them, than it is to do the same things simply because an inflexible justice forces you to do them? To my neighbor I should like to mean a friend and not a critic. To the mourner I ehould like to mean a comfort, never one who would wield "the busy hand of consolation that frets the wound it cannot heal." To the sick I ehould like to mean comfort and hope, and health too if I could. To the disheartened I ehould like to mean an inspiration to higher things, for as Mrs. Sangster says: "Every day ts a fresh beginning. Every morn is the world marie new. Ye who are weary with sorrow and sinning. Here ib a beautiful thought for you." A comforting thought for you and a helpful thought for me. In point of fact to all the world I should like to mean a human being "nobly planned to warn, to comfort, to command," or be commanded ae tho case might be. lt. S. M. Ipswich, S. D. 3rd Premium.— "I live for thono who love me, For those whose hearts arc true; For the Heaven that shines above me, And the good that I can do." In each of our lives there Is something that prompts us to action, something that molds our lives and ehapee our destinies. Wife, mother, daughter, Bister, friend and nelghbor- the responsibilities of my life are presented to mo in the embodiment of all these attributes. My home is my realm; to bo its queen and mistress and to rule and guide in my domain successfully, and to do my duty under all circumstances, eervee my ambition. There are many duties to be met in the current of life, which aid to give it a true and noble tone. Many trials and disappointments are suro to follow some of our most earnest efforts. Motherhood, the moet crowning emblem of wifehood, holds the sweetest joys and brings the moet sacred responsibilities of woman's sphere. There ls nothing more pathetic than helpless childhood. The child is almost wholly dependent for happiness, justice and the rule of life, upon the mother's view of earthly thinge. Her interpretations of God's loving kindness and tender mercy will have a great influence on her child's eternal deetiny. A mother's Influence is not only formative but all-pervading through life. Her every euccese will be the expression of her sympathies as well as of her activities. We find In the most sacred of books, that no man llveth unto himself; and knowing this how carefully our lives should ba guarded. A cheerful epirit hae great power to dispel the sadness of a troubled heart. Sunshine of the eoul is largely a matter of cultivation, for there are but few so fortunate as not to have had eome grief. Cheerfulness is one of the prime requisites to success and happiness. "Whate'er we are, whate'er our place, God's gifts to us-his gifts of grace— We may with all the suffering share, Till faces smile with answered prayer. ' Our very presence virtue hath For those wiro daily cross our path. Tf eyes are kind and hearts are true, We can all blessed good things do.' . We need not reach our hands afar. But drop our blessings where we are." Rockville. ■ M. B. A. What I want to show to the people about me ls the Ideal life that leads to euccese. How must I obtain this life? I must be myself. Some people are so foolish ae to think riches would carry them through. Some may have an ideal life in view, but Bimply because they are not climbing ae fast ae eome one clec in another business, will give up in despair. A 11 tale child has to try many times before making a success in walking. So In our business life, our first stepe may prove a failure, but by trying we ehall become victorious. "If at first you don't sucseed, try try, again." Never be idle. If your hande find nothing to do at times, cultivate your mind. If one speaks evil of me,I must eo live that none will believe it. I do not expect to awake some morning and find myself famous, as did some of the poets, but I think Longfellow shows how moet lives are built, when he saye: "The hights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night." How then must I live so that others may eee it? I must not be fault-finding with my neighbors, not speaking once before thinking twice. Ann. Harrison Oo. REVIEW. Mr. A. T. V. suggests that one ehould stand for good citizenship. Should bs ready if necessary to sacrifice anything for his country. Wo will all gladly accept the statement ae true. And would gladly add that there are moro sacrifices to make in times of peace than of war. The mushroom plant is really underground. It sends its ramifying roots ln a perfect network through many feot of soil, and grows for weeks. Finally It makes one grand effort at fruiting and by using its reserve forces it quickly ehoots up its soed stem. So our successors in any war that may come three or four times in a century depends on the previous eound growth whieh has been accumulating for years. Ho also says that the foundation for all true living lies ln Christian character. What a world we ehould enjoy if the Christ spirit prevailed. Mr. A. T. V. aleo thinks we should •'etand for arbitration and fairness." Surely. Mr. Conway says " 'tis true, too eadly true, that many pass through life without a purpose." Now let ue stop a moment and all raiee the right hand who have and are trying to live to a purpoee. One, two, three—I eee many hande thank God, and there are very many earnest hearts and fruitful lives. I personally believe that the Christ epirit Is filling and directing vastly more people than in any other age. There is more money and sacrifice being well directed against potent public and individual ein to-day than the world has ever known before. There is less time and energy given to fruitless contention over dogmatic beliefs, and with one the "burden of the white man" le turned in the way of taking a decided etand for the uplifting of a common humanity. Yet amid all this sympathy and self-sacrifice it ls true as Mr. 0. says that "there aro many who live a ■depraved life." One unique expression of Mrs. Miller is that "it ie a blessed thing to be needed." Are there not some peoplo who are never called upon even to nurse tho sick? Or for anything? What do they etand for? One writer eaye "it will not do to simply do no harm." Negative virtues never set the world afire. Mrs. Miller also epoke of "divinity incrueted." This reminds mo of a schoolmate who spoke yeeterday of eome people whose divinity wae encysted," Of course both mean that the Divine in such, people ie so covered by the carnal that it Is not eaeily stirred, and does not influence the rest of his manhood. Two writers would give to the sick as far as possible three things, comfort, hope, health. All can give the first, often the second and third. More than onesaye, "woman's greatest work is to so live that ehe may carry eunehine." Finally as you ride through your streets, or mingle with the people, do you stand for tem- erance, for purity, for cleanness, a clean mouth, a strong, noble heart and life? No. 158, Mch. 18.—How do you treat oate for black smut? With what success? No. 15!), Mch. 25.—How can we best prevent carrying mud and eand into the house? What should we make walks of, and how? No. ICO, April 1.—What Is the fault of a seedbed that needs plowing deep the first cultivation. Give the remedy. No. 101. April 8.—Give ue the story of your grape vines. What building may they climb? How do you grow them on buildings and on trellises? No. 162, April 15.—Let us talk fences again. What kind are you building and coat? Kind of poets, eteeplee and coet? Do you like ratchets or wire fences?. No. 1G3, April 22.—Give criticisms on this department. Also state how writers may Improve and shorten copy. No. 1G4, April 29. How do you treat eowe from drying off to calving? How avoid milk fever? Premiume of $1 75 cents and 50 cents will be given to 1st, 2d and 3d beet articles each week.
