THE COMING MAN
Rev.W. C. Mann Hakes a Few Re
marks Regarding the Proper
Training of the Young.
The home is the dearest and
most sacred place on earth.
Around the home clusters the
sweetest associations and the most
precious memories. The more I
visit from house to house, the more
I see of the cares and sorrows of
life and mark the difference in our
Monies, the more I am impressed
' nt ‘ home problem is the great
er problem of this age. The home
s the center of everything. Our
homes are so many streams pour
ing themselves into the moral, so
*.cial and political life. If the home
life is pure, all will be pure; if cor
rupt, all is corrupt. From the
pro|>er or improper management
of the home, comes more of joy or
sorrow than from all other ques
tions combined. You may build
your palaces, gain your fortunes,
live amidst the luxuries of this
world, and neglect the projier
training of your children, ami home
is a failure.
When 1 think of Uie possibilities
of the home, my heart leaps with
joy; but when 1 think of the re
sponsibilities, 1 tremble. Every
lost soul once sat in mother's lap,
learned the mother tongue, moth
er actions, mother thought, moth
er life. The downfall of every
character van Im» traced to some
defect it) the home life.
I believe the llihle; and this old
Book says: “Train up a child in
the way he should go, and whom
he is old he will not depart from
it." l)o you Ixdieve it' ! do with
nil my heart. A child trained upj
according to the teaching of the
Bible will not go astray. Some
seem to think it is impossible to!
train a child up in the way he I
should go. But 1 praise (Jod that;
it don't matter what the tempera
ment or surroundings may be, we
can raise our children^up in the
nurture and admonition of (rod.
Authority and example are in- j
dispensible in the home life. Some
exercise authority, but fail to set
the right example, while others j
set a good example, but fail to ex
ercise the property authority. The
two go together. The ten years I
spent in the school-room, where
1 met every class of children, and
the eight in the ministry, have con
vinced me that neither the law nor j
the gospel can make a Christian ]
nation without the help of home
authority and example.
livery child lias a will that must
be conquered, or it will conquer j
the child. The sooner we conquer
the will, the lietter it will be for
the child. 1 believe in beginning
> Mrs. Wesley did, in their infan
cy, to teach them submission, liv
ery child should be taught perfect
obedience to father and mother
from the beginning. Anarchy is
not born^i the minds of men and
women of riper years; disrespect
for laws is not born in mobs or
riots. The qucs^Wrofo bedience to
law is settled in child-hood. The
child who does not oliey father and
mother will not abey social, civil
or divine laws. ^
fc* The most dangerous sign of the
times is the neglect of the proper
training of our children, and the
growing diyespcct of children for
their parents.
We should begin early*tn life,to
'k
teach our children the principles'
of religion. We should say where
our children are to go, who they
keep company with, and should
never let them go to places of
worldly amusement. Some seem
to think if we keep our children
away from the circus, the party,
the dance, and other worldly
amusements, and carry them to
Sunday-school, prayer-meeting
and church, that they will form a
dislike for religion and the church.
But, my brother, the opposite is
true. Much of the indifference to
spiritual life is traceable to the neg
lect of parental instructions in the
principles and requirements of
Christianity.
Parents in former days were
more careful about the moral and
spiritual training of their children.
Home was a place of Christian
culture. Parents, and especially
mothers, felt their responsibility
to look after the spiritual training
of their children; busy as they
were with the cares of life, they
always found time to teach them
the principles of religion, and to
talk OT^hem about their duty to
God and men—to Christ and the
church. But now a different order
of things prevails, and religion
holds a comparatively subordinate
place in the minds of our young
people. What shall we do? Teach
your children the principles of re
ligion, their duty f> God, keep
them out of bad company; keep
novels and poisonous literature
away from your homes, and furn
ish them religious literature to
read; teach them obedience, and
soon there will Ik* a change in the
rising generation.

Something You Can’t Do.
Young man, there is one thing
you cannot do. You cannot make
a success in life unless you work.
Older men than you have tried it
and failed. You cannot loaf around
the street corner, smoke, tell sto
ries, and sponge on some one else,
without making a failure in life.
You must learn a trade or get into
some honest business. If you don’t
you will become a chronic loafer
and there is no place in the world
for loafers. The ripe fruit is at
the top of the tree and you must
climb if you get it, or some smart
man will pluck it for you. Do
something, no matter how small
the wages are, it will be a starter.
Help yourself and others will help
you. There is no royal road to
success; will, grit and indurance
are the qualities that lead to it.
Driven to Desperation.
Living at an out of the way
place, remote from civilization, u
family is often driven to desper
ation in ease of accidents, result
ing m Burns, cuts, wounds, ul
cers, etc. Lay in a supply of
Bucklen's Arnica Salvo. It's the
best on earth. 25e, at J. I. Sturd

jars $1,” when it should have been

jars 60 cents.”

$300,000 Worth of Strawberries.
Rogers, June -A. According to
figures compiled here, the season’s
strawlierry shipments in Benton,
Washington and Crawford coun
ties amount to COO carloads, ex
clusive of express shipments in
small lots. Early in the season
the prices were in excess or $‘2 per
crate, but lately' the quotation has
declined to as low as 75 cents be
cause of the heavy shipments from
the Missouri region. More than
$300,000 represents the returns te
the berry growers of the three
counties for the crops, and $50,
000 is a low estimate on the money
paid to pickers. As a rule the
pickers were paid 1V cents per
quart, and good hands averaged
one hundred quarts per day. In
some localities there was difficulty
in procuring an adequate number
of pickers, and for this reason
many of the growers lrctd their re
venue cut shorfr through inability
to market the product. The ber
ries rotted in many patches as a
consequence of the scarcity of
pickers.

Obituary.
In loving remembrance of Sam
uel Edward Lenehan, born July
20, 1890, departed this life May
10, 1904, aged 13 years, 9 months
and 20 days.
Eddie was the youngest son of
Mr. and Mrs. (r. AW Lenehan; he
had been in delicate health for
about a year and a half, from en
largement of the heart, and suffer
ed intensely at times, but bore
his suffering patiently.
He was always thoughtful for
others and tried to be cheerful,
even while suffering. He was con
fined to his bed for three weeks
with a complication of heart, liver
! and stomach trouble, and passed
| away just like some one falling
asleep with a bright smile ovcr
I spreading his features.
lie leaves a father, mother, three
j brothers, and six sisters and many
I relatives and friends to mourn his
jdeath.
lie was an obedient son, a lov
ing brother and a kind and gentle
play-mate, always trust-worthy
and truthful. Everything was
done for him that loving and will
ing hands and a kind and faithful
physician could do. “Hut when
! the Master calleth, none can hind
er." His remains were followed
to Macedonia graveyard, where
services were held by Kev. New
man. Although it is hard to part
with loved ones; we can say, “Thy
will be done,” and believe that it
is all for the best, and feel sure
that our loss is his gain,
i Dearest Eddie, thou hast left us,
And your loss we deeply feel,
| But ’tis God who has bereft us,
He will all our sorrows heal,
j Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low.
Thou no more will join rur number;
Thou no more our songs will know.
Yet again we hope to greet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven we hope to meet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
