A Mirror of Yourself.

"If you wish to see a perfect mirror of yourself," said an experienced teacher, "look at your class.*' And not less faithfully is every mother mirrored in the prevailing tone and temper of the family she presides over. Let her be critical, impatient, hard to please, and how surely will the same manifestations appear, around, her and discord on the music fall, and darkness on the glory. The sunny face of childhood will be overcast with clouds and the ringing laughter will be silenced and the pall of gloom and sadness cover the family rooftree. On the contrary, if she is sunny and \patient, you will see only beaming faces.around her if her voice is ever pleasant and cheery no discordance will grate upon your ear within that charmed home-circle. If perpetually she turns the cloud to find the" silver lining, or soars above it to the undimmed sunlight of eternal calm in a loving, confiding trust in the great Father of us all, her children, her husband and her friends wiJl, un-. consciously, perhaps, but none the less certainly, drink in the same blessed spirit and rejoice in the same divine warmth and brightness.—Exchange.

MEETING CLOSED, CHURCH IS HELPED

Friends Revival Closed on Account of Sickness Girls' Meeting Full of Interest.

The revival meetings at the church closed last night, after one week of helpful services. The interest was good and it was a disappointment, to many that they did not continue at least another week, but on account of much sickness, it seemed best to discontinue the meetings. There will be some accessions to the church dts a result of the revival, and the membership is greatly helped. The meetings on Sunday and Sunday night were well attended and were helpful to all.

The girls' meeting at 3 o'clock was full of interest, and will be repeated next Sunday at the same hour. This meeting is for all girls over 12 years of age. If

MOTHERS PENSION CLUB

Formed at Evansville to Take Care of An Emergency Case.

When Mrs. Alice Kelly, a widow of Evansville, could not give away her children because they cried and were inconsolable, and could not keep them because she was unable to make a living for them the emergency was brought to the front that resulted in the forming of a Mothers' Pension Club to take care of her case. Mrs Kelly scrubbed and took in washings in order to keep her little brood together until typhoid fever made the tub too hard for her. Then Mrs. J. H. Conn took the lead in the good wofck, resulting in the forming of the club. "A mother's care is everything. Nothing can take the place of her iove—and Mrs. Kelly's children love her," said Mrs. Conn. "There ought to be a mothers' pension law for such cases but there isn't in Indiana, so let's form a pension for Mrs. Kelly." "Must Mrs. Kelly give away her children because she can not earn enough, when right here in this beautiful city there are men and institutions having more of this world's goods than they can count?1 asked J. G. Birdsall, another contributor, to Mrs. Kelly's pension. He asked for twenty men to come forward and pledge 50c a week as long as the family needed their help.

EFFORT TO SW OUT HOC CHOLERA

l". S. Department of Agriculiurc Makes Campaign of Demoiv st rat ion and Education.

Tne Lnitea States Department of Agriculture during the past year has conducted campaigns in four states—Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, to control hog cholera by means of anti-hog cholera serum. In every place where the tests were made there was a great decrease in the losses, even where hogs already affected with the disease were treated. It was discovered that the serum was a cure for the disease in its first stages as well as a preventive.

The object of the department has been to endeavor to control the disease and if possible, to eliminate it from the country. To secure this end the best efforts of the farmers are necessary. The campaign during 1913 against this devastating scourge was planned in the territory selected along three lines. 1. The education and organization of the farmers in the districts selected, to be carried out primarily by the State College. 2. The enforcement of sanitation and restrictive regulations by the State Veterinarian. 3. Active supervision by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department, and the inoculation of diseased herds and exposed herds with the anti-hog-cholera serum.

Hog cholera is a disease which seems to be stopped to a degree by the frosts of winter, although frost cannot be said to stop a case after it has taken hold of its victim. However, it seems to prevent the rapid spread of the disease. The result is that in a spring time the affection is as a rule at the lowest ebb, but increases rapidly from that time until fall.

Hog cholera does not seem to affect any particular breed of hogs more than another, and while generally the careless farmer is more apt to have the disease among his hogs than the cAreful one, the disease sometimes occurs where the conditions are sanitary. It is hoped that the work may be extended gradually until the disease is completely controlled or eliminated. The fact that hog cholera is carried not only by the hogs themselves, but by birds, dogs, streams and even on the feet of men going from one farm to another, shows how necessary it is that the campaign be thorough and that farmers exert their best efforts to assist in the work.

The average Christian is entirely too "touchy." He manages to get himself insulted too many times in a year about the seventy times' seven. The Gospel piles the figures on the other side of the count, and Christians must boar patiently the offenses of the world. Even a brother's offense be forgiven once, twice, thrice, a^ain and again, into indefinite hundreds of forgotten pardons. But how painfully true is the remark that Christians show temper about as quickly as' quick-tempered sinners! Let there be a mastery of this rebel self! The lips that pray and sing praiseshould not so easily quiver and turn« white invrage. The true discipl$ is sweet-spirited, loving, gentle and' calyi.—Exchange.
