Reincarnation and the
Tragedies of Human Life
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright. 1914, by Star Company. 1
Only belief In the law of Reincar
nation can make one resigned to the
tragedies of human life.
Here Is one of the lesser trage- 1
dies—yet a tragedy nevertheless: A •
dull child, bom of poor parents, had I
to end an attempt at education when
•he was thirteen. Always in her
heart was a great longing for better
things, for more knowledge, for high- |
sr associations. Married at twenty- |
three, the longing for a good homeji
Rnd greater advantages was in a '
measure gratified. But now, at forty. ;
the woman's heart is still craving for 1 '
more knowledge, for the power of,'
hiehor development. But she tinds
her brain forces limited, her memory
poor. She reads everything worth <
while, but iff unable to recall It after- Ji
ward; she attends lectures and enjoys c
them, but cannot relate to any one J
an hour afterward what she has |
heard.
"Is there any place I could go that j
would enable me to learn—learn any- j
thing'.' I cannot learn from books; 1
t have tried too long. 1 would like j
to learn to talk, to converse with j
people, to have the power to speak ;
without trembling at the sound of my '
own voice. Oh. I want to be like ;
other people. i cannot begin again p
and go to school with young girls. T.!
tried in Philadelphia, years ago, going 1
to Temple College, but I was too dull, ji
Even the professors give the attention ;
to the bright young scholars, and 1
was young and neat then, but my j ■
brain was asleep and has never i,
worked. X could not stand the slight- 1
lug now: it was hard then.
No Conversational Powers 10 Ifolil In- n
teitectual Acquaintances.
"I wanted so badly to learn. From 1,
observation with an instructor to im- j
press, like children, who 'learn by i;
doing.' 1 might learn. I must have •
a stunted brain. Every other way
1 am perfectly normal and good to | ;
look upon. Pure vision, pure mo
tives. but ever wanting intellectual ;
things which no one ha.s had the. pati- ;
nice to give me.
"What would you do? Where
would you go to learn to be natural?
I feel like uprooting myself and be- i:
ginning again among people we read ;
about with Jane Ad dams in Hull
iHouse."
This pathetic letter proceeds to re- ;
late other misfortunes connected with
her situation. The intellectual ac
quaintances she makes she can not 1
hold, because she has no conversa
tional powers and no way of interest-

seriously that she has never developed
a sense of humor; and she says "I
never remember laughing like other

A SMART SUIT
I
4 Practical Model that will Please the
Small Bey as well as his Mether.
By MAY MANTON
8538 Boy's Suit, 2, 4 and 6 years.
Here is a suit that has the advantage
of being attractive to look at and so prac
tical that the boy can enjoy perfect free
dom while wearing it. As a result, he
is sure to be pleased as well as the older
folk. The blouse is a very new one with
the long-waisted effect and it is joined to a
wide belt, with trousers that are straight,
for straight trousers make a feature of
the season. As shown the suit is made of
tan and white shepherd's check with trim
ming of plain tan color, but this a a suit
that would be pretty made of serge, or
any similar wool material and also of
gingham, of light weight Sponge, galutea,
and in fact any of the washable fabrics
that are liked for small boys. The long
sleeves and the high collar are becoming,
but there is warm weather coming when
square neck and short slee\es will be
liked and the Mouse can be finished
in either way. Besides being attractive
and practical, the little suit is an easy one
to make. .
For the 4 year size wilHie required 2 i
yds. of material *7 in- wide, I yds. 36
or i l £ yds. 4.1, with t* yd. 27, for collar
and cuffs; Ji yd. to trim as shown in small
view.
The pattern No. 8538 is cut in sizes
for boys of two. four and six years of age.
It will be mailed to any address by the
Fashion Department of this paper, on

Joyful Anticipation
of Motherhood
|
There is apt to be a latent apprehension
*>f distress to mar the complete joy of
expectation. But this is quite overcome
by the advice of so many women to use
"Mother s Friend." This is an external
application designed to so lubricate the
muscles and to thus so relieve the pres
sure reacting on the nerves, that the
natural strain upon the cords and liga
ments is r.ot accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and many local distresses. This
splendid embrocation is kuown to a multi
tude of mothers.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time, that
have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions of age. weight, general
health, etc., may be safely relied upon.
And judging by the fact that "Mother's
Friend" has been in continual use since
our grandmother's earlier years and is
known throughout the T'nited States it
may be easily inferred that it is some
thing that women talk about and gladly
recommend to prospective mothers.
"Mother's Friend" is prepared only in
i our own laboratory and is sold by drug
gists everywhere. Ask for a bottle to-day
and write for a special book for expectant
mothers. Address Bradfleld Regulator

BIBLE SHEDS NEW
| LIGHT ON CONFLICT
Helps Interpret Dispatches of the
Present War; Maps in Backs
Particularly Enlightening
(By William T. Ellis)
Most of the dispatches from the
world war need interpretation; and
many careful students of present his
tory are findin* that the Bible is the
most illuminating of all books. It
reveals the principles which are be
inpr worked out in this greatest of
human upheavals. The maps iu the
backs of our Hlbies are the best to '
study if we would understand pres- j
ent military operations in Bible
lands. Most significant of all, how,
ever, is the new lijcht which the old j
Bible throws upon the providences in I
the progress of events.
Bewilderment and confusion will be I
the lot of the laymen who try to mas-I
ter all the details of the present com- I
plicated world situation. One clean I
trail through it all is the truth, which I
underlies the present Sunday School I
lesson, that God deals with nations as j
with men; and that in the march of j
mankind as a whole His purposes arc]
being revealed. Even as in the an-1
dent history which we have been >
studying for the past quarter, we saw I
| a nation led and defended and pro
vided for and chastened by an over- j
i ruling Providence, so in the present '
j upheaval of society we may discern |
even now the hand of the King of I
Kings, whose objective is the king
| dom of heaven on earth.
Lying on the surface of the pres- j
ent. as of the past, we may see the '
proposition which is presented as the j
lesson theme, namely, that God's |
mercy was shown lo iI is disobedient |
people. Old Israel needed tirst of all
! the mercy of God. On its merits it i
was a failure, and had forfeited its!
right to exist. In its hour of pride it
could have cried, with the poet of I
I Queen Victoria's Jubilee
|
"The tumult and the shouting dies: j
'I he captains and the kings depart; i
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, I
; A humble and a contrite heart. !
i Ijord God of Hosts, be with us yet, I
: Lei we forget—lest we forget !
i "If. drunk with sight of power, we!
loose
{ Wild tongues that have not Thee
in awe,
j Such boastings as the Gentiles use.
Or lesser breeds without the Law
i Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Let we forget—lest we forget."
For three months the Sunday!
Schools have followed the deliver- I
ances of oft-slumping Israel through
i the period of the Judges. Thev have
| studied the great figures of Deborah
and Ruth aijd Hannah, who shine
with a new luster in the light of the
day's interest in feminism: the two
great priest-patriots, Eli and Samuel:
land the tall king. Saul, and the tio
jbler son. valiant Jonathan. The les
sons have been a succession of char- I
acter studies.
Written plainly upon all these biog- |
! raphies has been the truth that divine
| providence and human personality are;
' strangely intertwined. God somehow !
j does llis work through men and !
I women who dare to be their best !
'selves. "The rare courage of perfect
I self-abandonment" was given bv one
! observer as the secret of "Billy"' Sun-
I days pulpit power. He does let liiin
i self go the limit for God. Given a
j man or woman who is brave enough
to shake oft the trammels of conven
j tionality, and to permit the noblest
j powers to have freest expression, and
the result is sure to affect society pro
! foundly. In our social and national
j needs to-day we require no other help
this side the favor of God, so greatly
las devoted personalities. The cry
which John J. Holland once voiced
| still ascends:
("God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
I and ready hands; •
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill.
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy;
Men who possess opinion and a will.
Men who have honor—men who will
not lie;
j Men who can stand before a detna-
I gogue
j And damn bis treacherous flatteries
j without winking!
jTall men, suncrowned, who live above
j the fog
| In public duty and private thinking."
A drear monotony marked most of
\ tlie quarter's Sunday School lessons,
; in that they recorded the ever-recur
| ring religious lapses of Israel. Left
jto themselves, the people slumped
1 into heathendom. They needed re
| vivals as truly as do we to-day.- By
nature, they seemed to turn away
| from God.
i That characteristic is one wlii< h. f
I fear, some teachers will gloss ov-t.
j The doctrine of original sin is not
popular to-day. The pendulum has
j swung to the other extreme and the
j popular teachers are crying, like the
serpent to Eve, "Ye shall be as gods."
That man is godlike, that sin is a de
lusion. that human nature is divine,
and that its behests are to be obeyed
j above the Decalogue is the popular
;creed.
i True, those who dare look all facts
in the face lind a susniciously large
number of the teachers of this old,
■ old philosophy, which nowadays mas
querades under various new labels,
themselves prone to violate the fun
damental laws which society has set
up for Its own protection. But what
are the ten commandments to an
emancipated man or woman who re
gards himself or herself as divine?
The logical outcome of this popular
nation is frequently a repudiation of
honor and truth and patriotism and
the service of society.
A study of the generations of Jew
ish life which the Sunday Schools
have had recently in review leads us
to accept the truth that human na
ture left to itself, stumps from its
highest obligations. The people eas
ily forgot God's goodness and their
own high estate. They turned easily
[ and naturally to sin. They had need
to cry continually
"Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord."
The folly of following tlie fashions
was old Israel's greatest blunder.
The small boy who wants long trou
sers anil the latest thing in linen
collars and silk neckties, because "all
tlie fellows are wearing them"; and
the girl who is sure that to be gowned
according to the mode of the min
ute is the one chief concern of life,
are no new phenomena. They are
treading the oldest trail in the
world. Mankind has been following
the multitude to do evil since long
before the Israelites, who had with
I sad frequency .been slipping into
| fashionable idolatry, like their neigh
j bora, cried to God's prophet for a king,
so that they could be like the other
nations about them.
This tendency to conform is always
warring with the diviner impulse io
be transformed. God is seeking per
sonalities; man is pursuing conven
tionalities. Jehovah wanted Israel to
he a theoretic democracy: but the
Jews were sure they wanted a mon
archy, which was certain to degon-

ligion burned low, the light of patriot
ism almost died out. The refuge and j
inspiration of the people in all their >
times of crises was the religion of Je- 1
horah. < >ne of the major monitions
lo mankind from the life of ancient
Israel is this one that if patriotism is,
to flourish, and national life prosper, !
then constant heed must be given lo
religion.
Everybody who takes time for any
real thinking to-day knows the per
tinency of this truth to our own land
and time. Everything now seems to
i lie in the melting pot. New and vast.
Changes are impending. Some of i
I these are perils of the first magni-'
tilde. This is one of the gravest |
hours of our nation's history. High ;
and hard are the, duties which the
[conditions prescribe. Only religion. 1
I real and personal, is adequate to in-
I spire and maintain life up to the new,
I level. There are reasons inherent in
> ' 1
present national problems which jus
tify the extremist efforts on the part
of ail Christian leaders to revive tiio
power anil application of religion in
the lives of our people.
The trials through which the older
nations are now passing join with the
experiences or ancient Israel to dem
onstrate the primacy of failli. Only
religion is sustaining the warring na
tions in this their llery trial. From
every battlefront comes the news that
a revival of religion is in progress.
Russia lias issued a special litany for
her soldiers. The Germans are sus
tained by a conviction that they are
engaged in something akin to ;i reli
gious crusade. France seems to bo
shedding her cynical religion, and re
turning to the faith of her fathers.
Shme British regiments have family
prayers, as a body, before they go into
action. Religion is the hour's great
word and lesson.
