"Yes, dear, the ear is the 'mom corn,' as brother calls it, hugging and rocking her baby corns, while the 'pop corn' sits up on top and waves his tasseled plume in the breezes, showering the needed pollen down on the silky hair of the baby corn to make them grow into perfect grains. You remember when we planted the strawberries, we had to plant some rows of Michels among the Bubachs because their flowers did not have pollen in them and fertilize one another-in fact, were only mamma berry-plants."

"Then the cornstalk is both 'pop' and 'mom,' isn't it?" questioned the boy.

"Yes, it is both papa and mamma, male and female, Wisdom and Love, and so are you. When a seed expert wants to fix some of the good qualities of yellow complected corn-babies on white corn, he plants yellow and white corn in rows side by side. When the corn grows and makes ears and tassels, he cuts the papa tassels off the white corn, and as with the berries, the breezes and the bees carry the pollen from the yellow corn tassels to the white ears, and some grow to be white and some yellow."

"Just like us. Big Bud has blue eyes like you, and I and Little Bud have hazel eyes like daddy," exclaims the sister, more truthfully than grammatically.

The "night-night" kiss is given with a pure understanding and deep veneration for Nature's law of pro-creation, and my reward comes when brother whispers: "I'm glad you tell us the truth and don't fill us up on lies, like Tommy's mother does."

Weakness is the result of fear. A realization of the omnipotent care of a loving Father, in whom is all security, will bring strength to shattered nerves and trembling bodies.

We must correct the imperfections of ourselves and others by constantly emphasizing ideals instead of punishing faults.-Newcomb.

"The law of the Lord is perfect."

DO YOUR BEST

Do your best and leave the rest;
Never mind tomorrow;
He who works with happy zest
Has no need to borrow

Trouble from some future day,
True success will come his way.

Do your best and leave the rest;
He who strives for duty
Often finds that he is blessed

With life's crown of beauty;

Unseen forces lift the load,
Roses bloom beside the road.

Do your best and leave the rest;
What's the use of worry?
Firm endeavor stands the test
More than haste and hurry.

Rich rewards will come to him

Who works on with smiling vim.

In our efforts to improve ourselves we usually depend upon some person who is supposed to understand the process better than we do, and thereby make ourselves dependent upon his mentality. In our efforts to instruct others we too often take such a deep, sympathetic interest in their welfare that we make them dependent upon us. This is especially true of young minds that are very susceptible to the influence of sympathy. Such minds are not permitted to act independently, but are constantly being interfered with through the overwrought anxiety that we constantly hold over them.-Larson.

Charity begins at home, but it degenerates into selfishness if it does not include all homes.-I. O. S.

PROSPERITY THOUGHT

August 20 to September 20, 1912
Held daily at 12 m.

"The blessing of the Lord maketh rich, and he
addeth no sorrow with it."

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD MAKETH RICH, AND HE ADDETH NO

SORROW WITH IT."

There is a prosperity founded in righteousness which perpetuates itself through generosity and justice.

The wealth accumulated through the exercise of selfishness and greed is weighted with fear and uncertainty, and the possessor, burdened with anxiety, gets little happiness from' his possessions.

The producing germ of every thought, word and deed has written in it the inviolable law that, "Every seed bringeth forth of its kind."

No sorrow attaches itself to the riches that come through the blessing of the Lord, or the right application of the Divine Law to the affairs of life.

We do not make this law; we only read out of it to you, that you may understand the fidelity with which it works out the purpose of your thought and word.

It is written that the man is blessed who delights in the law of the Lord, and makes it his daily meditation, and it is promised to such an one that

"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

This is the true prosperity and all may have it through the understanding and exercise of the law.

"Great peace have they that love they law, and nothing shall offend them."

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."

"The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver."

"Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and thy law is truth."

CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSE

EDNA L. CARTER

HERE are two phases of spiritual growth; the first has to do directly with individual development, and the second with the relation of the individual to others. The latter is well illustrated by Paul under the figure of the human body. "As the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee. Nay, much more those members of the body which seem to be more feeble, are necessary. God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked; That there should be no division in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. Now are ye the body of Christ and members in particular." Christ is "the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands, having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God."

Some of the experiences that come to us are the result of the work of the Spirit bringing us out individually, while others come from the Spirit as it baptizes us into the one body. If we know this and watch our experiences in this light we shall be able the more readily to adjust ourselves. "Christ is the Head of this house" is true, not only of the body of Christ as a whole, but of each member of that body, and nothing brings one into his place more quickly than to recognize the Head.

Every man is, in Truth, free and independent, and that
