WHAT WOMAN WAS MADE FOR.
By L. A. Miller.
This may seem a tough topic, but
our Holy Scripture aids in solving the
perplexing proposition. “And with
the rib, which the Lord God has taken
from man, made he woman, and
brought unto the man.
“And Adam said, this is now bone of
my bone and flesh of my flesh, she
shall be called woman, because she
was taken out of man.
“Therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother and shall cleave
unto his wife, and they shall be one
flesh.”—Genesis II.
This is the beginning of woman and
shows how she came to be here. It is
always important to know where and
how troubles begin; also, the why as
well as the wherefore of troublesome
things. This is learned from a pre-
ceding paragraph:
“The Lord God said: It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will
make him a helpmeet for him.”
What is woman’s mission, or what
was the object of her creation? To
be a helpmeet to man. A helpmeet;
an assistant; a partner; a helper; a
consort; a wife.
Woman’s physical nature, her dispo-
sition and her aspirations accord
perfectly with this idea of her being a
helpmeet to man. It was seen that
man was imperfect as he stood alone
and woman was created as his comple-
ment, woman, as was Adam; and
woman still retains, and ever will, the
same relation to man that Eve did to
Adam—a helpmeet, a partner, an as-
sistant, a wife. Whenever woman is
found outside her sphere; whenever
she assumes the place of man and
makes him her complement, then she
is abnormal. There is no special law
against a woman being abnormal in
appearance. It is abnormal for her
to have whiskers, or masculine fea-
tures or to usurp the prerogatives of
man in the economy of life.
The complement of a perfect circie
cannot be the circle itself, neither
can the circle be perfect if the compli-
ment is wanting. A circle from which
its complement has been removed is as
imperfect as a wagon wheel with a
section taken out from center to cir-
cumference. Therefore, if woman is
man’s complement—and that is what
she was intended to be—he is imper-
fect without her; while she is even
more imperfect without that which
she was destined to complete—in fact,
is helpless and unprotected.
A man-woman; that is a woman
who ignores her mission, denies her
station and usurps the place of man,
is a monstrosity, an abnormal crea-
ture, a lusus natura.
A woman-man; that is 2a man who
has stepped into woman’s sphere, is
likewise a monstrosity, an abnormali-
ty, a biddy. ot
That the sphere in which men and
women are comparatively independent
of each other is large, there can be no
doubt. Neither is it doubted that
there are degrees of a similar charac-
ter in these spheres, and it is not de-
nied that woman is every whit as effi-
cient in the discharge of the duties pe-
culiar to these similar degrees as man.
Women who have an insatiate desire
to rush into the breeches under the
guise of defending their rights, but
which is in reality an effort to wrest
from man certain prerogatives be-
queathed him by heaven, are usually
to a degree, disgusting to womanly
women and manly men. When such
as these marry they unceremoni-
ously step into the breeches, leaving
the man to become a biddy, if he is
not one already.
There is no greater abnormality than
a woman in breeches, unless it is a
man in petticoats. The world offers rio
obstacle whatever to a woman fulfill-
ing her mission. She may neglect to
fit herself for it, or her natural guar-
dians and teachers may fail in her
primary training and thereby cause
her to make a complete and miserable
failure. Woman's instincts are right
and may almost invariably be trusted
if she has been properly educated.
She naturally takes to the domestic
side of life. In childhood she prefers
playing “housekeeping” to making
sleds; nursing doll-babies rather than
playing “horse,” and is as proud of
her first successful attempt at cook-
ing a steak, as the boy is of his first
attempt at sled-making. From play-
ing housekeeping she as naturally
drifts toward the reality as he does
toward the shop or the mill. From
dressing dolls to dressing ladies is as
natural as from digging tunnels in the
ash pile to building railroads. It is
just as much the woman’s duty to
cook the food as it is a man’s duty to
provide it, and she is no more of a
drudge in doing so than he is.
Girls know instinctively that their
mission is to join themselves to men
when they have reached the age of
maturity. Were they taught that
they would have a share of the labors,
cares and responsibilities of this new
life to bear there would be more hap-
piness and fewer disappointments in
this world. Remember girls there is
no trouble in finding good husbands
and good homes for all those who are
competent to become the heads of
households.

Education.
I'm goin’ to school now and study-
in’ hard to learn all I can and pa says
books is all right but he wants me to
learn something else. He says there’s
lots of men just chock full of books
that can’t make a livin’. Pa says,
“Keep your eyes open, son, and watch
what’s goin’ on around you and think
about it.” Pa says, “Keep watchin’
the chickens and see how many eggs
they're layin’ and what kind of chick-
ens they are and what kind of feed
they’re gettin’ and all about ’em and
the same way with the pigs and sheep
and cows and horses and everything
else on the farm.” He says the best
way to learn a thing is to do it. And
a says I can learn a whole lot from
pe po but I've got to have some sense
or it won't do me any good.—Jimmy
Jones.
PLEASANT GAP.
Byron Hartline, of Millmont, is vis-
iting here among friends.
George Devinney and family moved
to Lemont on Monday last.
Jack Mulfinger and wife, of Spring
Mills, were visitors here last week.
Miss Maude Kanarr, of Milesburg,
spent Sunday with Miss Verda Tate.
Miss Helen Schreffler left Thursday
for Akron, Ohio, on her summer vaca-
tion.
Harold Kerstetter and wife were
week-end visitors with friends in Ty-
rone.
Children’s day exercises will be held
Sunday morning in the Methodist
church.
The High school scholars celebrated
their last day of school on Monday by
having a picnic at Hecla park.
To get something for nothing is an
innate disposition in man. He is prob-
ably the outgrowth of the animal side
of nature.
Hugh Crumlish and wife, accompa-
nied by H. J. Griffith and family, mo-
tored to Pittsburgh last Friday for an
indefinite visit.
William Kerstetter and a few asso-
ciates left on Monday for a few day’s
outing at their mountain camp adja-
cent to the Bear Meadows.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Noll returned
home from Philadelphia on Tuesday,
where they had been visiting with
Mz. Noll’s sister, Mrs. Paul Keller.
Mrs. J. C. Greonble and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. R. S. Sterrett, of Lock Ha-
ven; also Mrs. William Derome, of
Williamsport, were here for the com-
mencement exercises last week.
Harry Grove and wife brought their
children to grandmother, Mrs. John
Herman, on Sunday morning soon
after sunrise, then departed for Sha-
mokin in their car, returning to the
Gap at 8:25 p. m.
It is surprising how our Sabbath
schools are growing; this applies to
both of our congregations, the Metho-
dist and Lutheran. It is a pleasure to
see our state roads lined with bright,
cheerful and neatly dressed children
en route for Sabbath school on Sab-
bath morning. Both congregations
are hustling and keep close tab on our
young and rising generation. Unfor-
tunately our prayer meetings seem to
be degenerating. Fifty years ago we
had the most prosperous prayer meet-
ing that could be found anywhere. The
active workers then were Michael
Weaver, Martin Mease, John Barnes
Sr., Mrs. Griffith, and numerous oth-
ers. People walked to these meetings
four or five miles and the church was
packed to overflowing.
Rev. Ard, of the Bellefonte Luther-
an church, was the chosen orator for
our commencement exercises and so
well did he handle the proposition that
the entire community can’t forget the
glorious occasion. The selection was a
grand one. A genius for religion is
valued far above all the rest, because
the man who has it incarnates in him-
self the instinct of mankind, brings it
to their consciousness, puts it in form,
and is a leader of men in departments
‘deemed by humanity most important
of all. It is the emotion implanted in
a gifted man that inspires him with
a wish to communicate his thoughts
and feelings to others; to teach them
piety, the ideal love of God, morality,
the clean keeping of all laws that are
just philanthropy (the blossom and
the fruit on the tree of human chari-
ty), the affectionate regard for the
welfare of humanity.
Rev. Ard was the man our High
school was looking forward to. When
work is to be done, when cool, practic-
al judgment is wanted, when a cham-
pion and a hero is required, Rev. Ard
is ever willing to come to the front
with his strong, influential nerve, his
willing mind and hands, and his brave
and hopeful heart. He is an earnest
and faithful preacher of the gospel.
He does his work faithfully and well.
He has fine social qualities and re-
markable conversational gifts; he is
always a welcome guest, and wields
great influence over those with whom
he associates. He is respected and
admired by all outside of his church
as well as those in his church.
Our Memorial day was very appro-
priately observed. Thirty-six flags
were required to carry out the com-
plete program. The cemetery was
thoroughly cleaned up, which reflects
great credit on the management. Rev.
Smith, of the United Brethren congre-
gation, Bellefonte, was the orator on
the occasion and made a remarkable
impression on his large audience. The
speaker is a man of colossal intellect,
with a heart to match his mind. Rev.
Smith is apparently a disciple of na-
ture, and is at home with any horizon
that encircles him, with God above and
terra firma below. Were we to put up
a fence to keep him out of any promis-
ing field of labor, he would leap over
the bars as a hunter would into a
meadow of clover. By his power of
instinct and intuition, he discovers
new things, creates new forms out of
old substances. His efforts are not
the result of mere mechanism.
There is a breath, and life and free-
dom in his extemporaneous speech,
and a depth of over-brimming fullness
in his discourses, such as Lake Michi-
gan might suggest. As a manly, hero-
ic, hearty advocate of physical, mor-
al and religious culture Rev. Smith
deserves generous and grateful recog-
nition. He is a scholar and a thinker,
with sufficient imagination to color
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Is Your Blood Good
or Thin and Watery?
You can tell by the way you feel.
You need Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
make your blood rich, red and pure,
tingling with health for every organ.
You need it if weak and tired day
in and day out, if your appetite is
poor, sleep unrefreshing,—for hu-
mors, boils, eruptions, scrofula, rheu-
matism, headaches, nervous prostra-
tion. It is simply wonderful to give
strength to your whole body.
It is agreeable, pleasant and con-
venient to take, and embodies a long-
tried and found-true formula. 67-34
his reasoning without hiding it in the
frescoe-work of fancy. Ffteen years
ago we had fourteen Civil war veter-
ans at the Gap; today we have only
two survivors, and unfortunately ore
of the two was deprived of the beau-
tiful service on account of the illness
of his wife. It does not need a seer or
a prophet to foretell that in a few
years after we are all gone the sacred-
ness of this one day of patriotic mem-
ories will be dead and gone. Unless
its original purpose is wisely safe-
guarded. Recent statistics show that
four hundred Civil war veterans ans-
wer their last call monthly; looks like
a speedy extinction.
Strew bright flowers upon the
graves; a more fitting ceremony can
scarcely be conceived. It recalls the
bright day of the past, betokens a
bright remembrance and a recognition
of the purity of the cause for which
they died. By keeping green and fra-
grant the memory of those who gath-
ered around our flag, stood between
our noble institutions and their sworn
enemies, and drove back the tide of
war that threatened to sweep the en-
tire face of our fair land, is the more
efficient way to create within the
hearts of the young, love for their
country and respect for their noble
ancestry. The duty of the living is
now to make their tranquil resting-
place an honored and secure place.
Therefore, let it become the pleasure
of every comrade to use his influence
to secure an observance of the day in
keeping with its spirit. Let there be
social, and a living over of the war |
again; not a reviving of a spirit of
hatred, or the bitterness between the
North and South immediately after its
close, but a living over of the stir-|
ring scenes. Great credit is due to
our lodge of the P. O. S. of A., for the
very capable manner in which they
conducted the Memorial services here.
Statistics given out by the Na-
tional Automobile Dealers’ Associa-
tion show that 85,000 automobiles
were stolen in twenty-eight cities of
the Uuited States in 1922, compared
with 37,554, the previous year. Clar-
ence A. Vane, manager of the associa-
tion, ascribed this decrease to “low
price levels for new automobiles”
which, he said, “are rapidly eliminat-
ing the market for stolen motor vehi-
cles.”
RE CCR
Hidden away from the gaze of the
world, and out of sight of trusted
friends, is the image of a soul wife to
whom they are true and faithful, and
whose memory is finally cherished,
and whose honor they respect. Upon
the altar of the heart their burns
with undiminished brightness the
flame that was kindled in the noonday
of youth or in manhood’s early morn,
while yet life was young and ardent.
