Kathleen Norris Says
For many months the canny;
Scottish wooer had come courting,
a village lass without committing,
himself. Then he felt the time had
come for him to begin to speak..
Producing a well-thumbed note-
book, he said:
“Maggie, I’ve been weighing up
your good points, and I’ve counted
up to ten. When I get to the dizzen,
I’ll hae something to say to ye.”-
“Well, I wish ye luck, Jock,” the
maiden coolly responded, with a
jerk of her head. “An’ I’ve beem
reckoning up your bad points, an’.
I’ve reached nineteen. When iti
gets to twenty, I’m mairrying Fer-
guson, the plumber.”

LESSON TEXT—Psalm 103:1-5. 10-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O
tny soul, and forget not all his benefits.'
—Psalm 103:2.
We live in difficult and confusing
days with much on evei-y hand to dis-
courage us. We look about us in
vain for any encouraging sign. The
result is that unless we exercise
care the temptation will overtake us
who are Christians /to fall into the
bitter, complaining attitude of the
world, forgetting-'fhe benefits which
God has be^fedwed upon us, forget-
ting IJiS'-Inercy and grace, and, in'
"this hour of trial, telling the world
by our life, if not by our lips, that
we have lost our faith in God.
It is easy to praise God when all
goes well, when we see His bless-^
ing upon us; but the Christian
should recognize that praise is a
vital part of his daily fellowship with
God, an expression of his apprecia-
tion of all that God is and does for'
him. Psalm 103 has in all genera-
tions been a favorite of Christian
people when passing through deep
waters and fiery trials.
I. Praise for Personal Blessings
(vv. 1-5).
Our relationship to God is a per-
sonal one, and His blessings are per-
sonal. Praise also is a personal,
soul exercise to which we need often
to stir ourselves. We need to call
on “all that is within” us to bless
and praise the Lord.
“Forget not”—how prone we are
;to do that very thing. We remem-
ber the things we ought to forget
and forget the things we ought to
remember. We have become so ac-
customed to the many blessings oi
God that we accept them as a mat
ter of course.
Note that the chief of all bless-
ings is the forgiveness of sin (v. 3).
The spiritual is far more importanl
than the physical, but that too is in-
cluded. Only God can heal our dis-
eases, whether by means or by di-
rect intervention. He also meets
with true satisfaction every right
and normal desire of man, whether
it be physical, social, mental or
spiritual. That calls for praise from
the depths of our beings.
II. Praise for Forgiveness of Sin
(vv. 10-14).
We may “put on a front” when
we deal with our fellow men, but
there is no use in thus trying to
fool God. He knows us for what
we are—“frail children of dust, and
feeble as frail.” We are not able to
meet our own little problems; how
can we do anything with the sin
question?
The mercy of God, high as the
heavens, is revealed nowhere in
such overflowing measure as in His
dealing with the sins of “them that
fear him” (v. 13). For them He has
the pity of a father, but He has
more, for He has the authority and
power to cast our sins as far from
Us as the east is from the west;
and how far that is no one knows.
Observe that His mercy is only
for “them that fear Him.” “God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace
unto the humble” (James 4:6, 1
Pet. 5:6, 7). Whosoever will may
come and receive of Him abundant
pardon. Why not come now?
III. Praise for Everlasting Loving-
kindness (vv. 15-18).

T T THEN I was a girl the
\A / burning question was
* * that of franchise for
women. In that day everyone
—men and women both —
thought there was some argu-
ment about it. Women were
fit to do all the hard work in
the world, and the few who
struggled through law or
medical courses invariably
came out ahead of the men in
class work, but there was a
general impression that no
matter how estimable and
lovable members of the weak-
er sex were, they ‘shouldn’t
have any authority.
Nothing to say .about
schools, or politics, or busi-
ness, or housing, or morality.
The only voices that could
| speak on these topics were
those of men. In the delicate
questions of their souls, of
their ailments, of incomes
; and responsibilities, women
must be guided by men.
Women are not yet awake. They
are still being, led blindfolded
j through life by the ail-controlling
! males. But at least they are stir-
I ring in their sleep, and political re-

second. In a hundred years they
will only have begun to grasp the
full power of their shackles and to
take their rightful places as a sex,
prisoned too long in a world of false
conditions; conditions made by men
! only, and for which both men and
women pay.
Women are gregarious. They like
community life. Generations ago
young mothers would have united
their interests, gotten together
groups of babies, commissioned a

HOW ARE
YOUR
EQUALITY
Kathleen Norris makes a plea
for equality of women with men.
She deplores the state of uncon-
scious vassalage in which many
women live. Their lives are con-
stantly being regulated by domi-
neering husbands who don't realize
they are acting as tyrants over their
beloved wives. Miss Norris studies
the serious problem raised by this
deplorable condition and offers ad-
vice on-how it can be solved.
Cranky? Restless? Can’t sleep? Tire easily?
Worried due to female functional disorders?
Then try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound famous for over 60 years in
helping such weak, rundown, nervous
women. Start today1
Store salad oil in a dry, cold
place. Keep coffee, tea, sugar,
baking powder, spices, soda,

VOU can’t just wear any old slip
and expect your small-waisted
frocks to have the smooth, suave,
round-bosomed line they should
have. Here’s a design (1892-B)
especially planned to do its part
toward figure-flattery, and to fit
as only a slip you make to your
measure can fit. The top has
bosom gathers to give you a little
extra fullness. The waistline is
dart-fitted so that it melts into
your middle just beautifully.
These are simple details, very
easy to do, but they make all the
difference in the fit of your slip,
Individual Man
It is far easier to know men|
than to know man.—La Rochefou-’
cauld.
Lemon slices cut thin and sprin-
kled with chopped parsley, served
alternately with plain lemon
slices, add much to the attractive-
ness of a fish salad.
And women, still taking men’s or-
ders, don’t go quietly ahead and
live their lives as they want to.
Their only way out is quarrels and
divorce. But I believe many a wom-
an would find herself out of the
woods of headaches, depression,
nerves, discontent,' if she sat down
seriously today—or better, took a
long walk, while pondering the ques-
tion, “What changes in our lives
would make me happy? What would
I LIKE to do?”
Almost always the answer is near-
er than she thinks.
Set in His Ways.
“My husband is the best man in
the world,” a Philadelphia wife once
wrote me, “but he is set. He hates
anything out of the way. For ex-
ample when two summers ago I
clipped my little girls’ hair quite
short, for their comfort and ray con-
venience in the hot weather, he was
so angry and so long resentful that
I paid dearly for it, and so did the
girls. This year they wear curls,
a great care for mother. Our boy is
six months old, and as I do all my
own work I was glad to get the
baby-pen into commission again. But
Kent has decided that the pen may
curb the baby’s natural daring, as
he grows, and he won’t let me use it.
“We have a pleasant back yard
with maples and elms in it, and I
have hedges around the clotheslines
and the barrels. Often I would like
to serve lunch or supper there, for
the birds do the clearing up and I
can make a meal a picnic, with pa-
per cups and napkins. But this con-
ventional man of mine is always
conscious of the few back windows
of neighbors’ houses that overlook
the yard; some one MIGHT be look-
ing down on us and our hamburgers!
“Kent hands me his pay check
every week; he doesn’t drink; he
loves his wife and children. We
save, and we own a lovely roomy
home. But it is trying to be checked
at so many turns,, and I am won-
dering if you ever had a problem
like mine to solve, and what is the
cure, .
».• . Regimented Living.
“L must not send poems to the
evening paper, because it embar-
rasses him. The children are never
permitted to see the ‘funnies’ in the
Sunday paper. No caller must ever
be in the house when Kent gets
home. If I telephone a friend he
keeps up an undertone: ‘Cut that,
dear. You’ve been six minutes—
you’ve been seven minutes.’ If I
suggest a movie he is apt to say
kindly, ‘I don’t think that with all
you’ve had to do today you want to
sit in a hot movie.’ Never in the
nine years since my oldest was born
has he stayed at home and let me
go anywhere at night.
“But we all love our daddy, and
this is not complaint,” the letter end-
ed. “It’s only that if he would be
a little less critical, we would all be
so happy.”
This letter is about six years old.
I quote it as a perfect illustration
of the state of vassalage in which
some women unconsciously live. The
man neither knew he was a tyrant,
nor the woman that her life was be-
ing roboed of all its bloom. And
of course the result was tightened
nervts and half-conscious resent-
ment, on her part.

Entering a very smart little res-
taurant, the farmer ordered a
rump-steak. Ten minutes passed.
Then the haughty waitress brought
him a very large plate, in the cen-
ter of which lay a very small
strip of meat.
The farmer looked at it closely,
turned it over, and looked at it
again. Then he said affably:
“Yes, that’s the sort of thing.
Bring me some.”
