DON'T BLAME THE CHILDREN
The practice now going on in many of the states of
forcing reluctant children to salute the flag, sing Ameri
can patriotic songs and perfom other similar functions ob
noxious to themselves and in direct violation of their par
ents’ demands, does not strike us as just the way Solomon
would have handled a delicate and unfortunate situation.
If needs he such disloyal parents could lie adequately
handled if their words or deeds constitute a public men
ace, hut to subject children to what they look upon as per
secution involving personal stultification, is a degree of.
brutality which would pass for actual crime were it not
in a measure condoned or at least explained by the irre
sponsible stupidity of the school authorities.who permit j
such practices.
If the purpose he to make those children loyal Ameri
can citizens when they grow up, then the worst imagin
able procedure is to implant in their impressionable i
minds the hitter resentment any normal child would feeli
towards that which had caused him,personal humiliation
•and unnecessary shame.
If it he the unthinkable purpose to punish innocent
children for reflecting the disloyalty of their parents, then
language would not be extravagant, but merely inade
quate to express the contempt due those guilty of such in- i
i’amv.
%
And then, aside from the demoralizing effect upon
the little victims themselves, it is impossible to imagine a
rational parent wishing his own child to witness the hu
miliation'of another child. Whatever its effect might be,;
indubitably it would not promote patriotism, humanity,
kindliness, decency or self-respect.
THE HEART OF HOPE
1
•
When the sweet hud of hope blossoms in the human
heart life becomes resplendent with the very joy of living.
This bud of hope is a beautiful promise of the future. It
foretells, in a subtle and scintillating way, of the coming j
of a pristine future. It confidently instills us with the;
assurance that our ambitions will soon be realized.
Doubt is the depressing agency that crushes souls and
hills our hearts.
The man who is wedded to doubt will always find in
the t*nd that his days have been wasted.
There are milestones in our lives. We must pass them I
year by year until our hair becomes tinged with gray. In
our early days of hope we should cling to that halcyon
memory of the past and try, even in our moments of doubt,
to rekindle the slumbering memories.
This is a funny old world we are living in, but at the
same time a practical world of real men and women.
It is a world where some souls can be found hidden
*
in dark and sheltered places: it is a world where the sun
shine of love warms the atmosphere; it is a world where j
the cold tears of cruelty fall falteringly upon the respon
sive earth; it is a world that affords every man his chance,
that gives every woman her opportunity.
This is the sort of world we live in. We have our
chance. If we fail it is our fault. You are not your broth
er’s keeper and neither is your brother responsible for;
your shortcomings.
When he crosses the threshold of life the future of
|
every man rests in his own hands. If he is disposed to
scatter his chances to the four winds of heaven no one can;
stop him. In the vernacular of the streets, “It is up to
him." Let him do as he likes, but he must remember he
is personally responsible in the failure of life.

MARITAL PARTNERSHIP
V
In a day of hast* divorces, when minds are turning to
seek ways in which married couples may live happily,
credit is due to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bodine, of Philadel
phia, who have been married sixty-four years. The fact
that they have lived together that long is interesting in
itself, but their chief claim to public notice is in their
statement that they have never quarreled, or even ex
changed a cross word.
The wife ascribes her happiness to these causes:
"Because I think there is no one like ‘father.’
"Because I am always willing to humor his little ways.
"Because I will do anything in the world to please
him.
"Because I have always given him plenty of good
food.
"Because I have always praised him when he deserved
it.”

and the reasons which he finds for the unmarred felicity

of himself and his wife, are contained in the following: I
“Because I think my wife is the finest woman in the
world.
“Because 1 never have a vacation unless she goes too.
“Because I have always been ready to listen to what
she has to say.
“Because I never have wanted anybody else hut moth
er.’’
The fact is that this couple continued courtship after
marriage and each contributed to the union lyve, respect,
and willingness to make sacrifices, each for the other, in
the little as well as the big things. Most marital unhap
piness is based on selfishness.—(Exchange.)
