OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904 JIOME CIRCLE COLUMN. A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Eventide. Do not moan or pine over lost oppor tunities. Nothing will brine them back. But you live, and life meant other op portunities, and hence rather press for ward with full purpose to loose no more jewels than should bedeck your crown. Nothing is easier to form than a habit. The first action breaks a path through an unbroken wilderness, the next wid ens it, the third makes a trodden high ' way. When a voung man or girl drops into slang for fun or, still worse, uses a word which borders on profanity, there is a feeling of recoil the first time ; but babit removes restraint, and presently the unfortunate or improper mode of speech is used without conscious protest. To beware of an evil habit is as import ant as to form a good one. As we pen this column especially in the interest of wives and mothers, let us draw a picture that noble woman had the courage to witness and can look upon with pride while the bravest of men bad business calling them elsewhere. How can we picture to ourselves a more touch ing scene than the one which drew lorth from onr Lord these words of tender love? "'There stood bv the Cross of Jesus, His mother, Mary, the wife of Cleophus, and Mary Magdalene," and with them was St.John. Truly a sor rowful and loving band the only onee who in the hour of shame dared to show their close personal sympathy with the Crucified. Only one man amongst them b'lt there were three women there. Women ofttimes surpass men in courage and they did on this occasion. Thomas had once said, ''Let us also go that we may die with Him." But he did not go. , 8t. Peter had avowed that though be died with the Lord he would not deny Him but we do not find htm at the foot of the cross. But the three Marys are there. If by the publication of the Home Circle Column we gain the friend ship and etteetn. of the queens of our homes, we will have no fears of being forsaken in time of trouble. Woman has yet to learn the purifying and blessed influence she may gain aud maintain over the intellect and afiectioiis of the human mind. Though she may not teach from the portico, nor thunder from the forum, in her secret retirement she may form and send forth the sages that shall govern and renovate the world Though she may not gird herself for bloody conflict, nor sound the trumpet oi war, sne may enwrap herself in the panoply of heaven, and send the thrill oi benevolence through a thousand youthful hearts. Though she may not enter the list in legal collision nor sharp en her intellect amid the passion and conflict of men, she may teach the law of kindness, and IiubIi up the discords and conflicts of life. Though she may not be clothed as the embassador of heaven, nor minister at the altar of Qod, as a secret angel of mercv shemav teach His will, and cauBe to ascend the hum ble, but most accepted sacrifice. in all ages woman has been the source , ot all that is pure, unselfish and heroic in the spirit and life of man. It was for love that Antony lost a world. It was Jor love that Jftcpb worked seven long yean, and for seven more. What must nave been his emotions when he awoke On the morning of the eighth year and f 0 id the homely, scrawny Leah instead of the lovely and beautiful presence of his beloved Rachel. Poetry and fiction are baeed upon woman's love, and the movements of history are mainly due to the sentiments or ambitions she has in spired. There is no aspiration which any man entertains, no achievement he seeks to accomplish, no great and honor able ambition he desires to gratify, i which is not directly related to either or both a mother or a wife. From the hearthstone around which lingers the recollections of our mother, from the fireside where our wife awaits us. comes all the purity, all the hope and all the courage with which we light the battle , of life. The man who is not thus in spired, who labors not so much to secure the applause of the world as the solid and more precious approval of his home, accomplishes little of good for others or ot honor for himself. Let the young mothers at the family fireside endeavor to iustill in the tender minds intrustsd t their care the gospel of peace and the evil of war. Better mothering would help to restore this country that is hastening away from its first honored principles. Our Pil grim mothers did not spend their time in idle decoration of themselves and their homes, but helped their husbands to develop a new country and establish homes on the rock of solid worth. It is just as important today for the wives to stand loyally by their husbands, and en courage and help thro to earn and save and rise above tbe hindering things mat unrig bankruptcy aud disgrace m their train It has been said that thous ands of men would today be in tbe poor house were it not for their wives. And tbat other thousands are tliete because of their wives. Which horn of this di lemma would you choose? Wilt you train yourselves into intelligent, man aging capable women, or will you choose (note ugnutr accomplishments tbat add nothing to your stature as a woman, and win no love that will last when . your pilgrim here is over 7 There is no kind of pleasure so enduring as that we find in doing our duty, , 1 ; -1' JTOURTH or JULY.

A few sea tered ca.onista did not lise up to contend with such a nation tor mere renowD. Thev hid a nobler object, and in pursuit of that object, they manifested a courage, constancy aud union that deserves to ba celebrated not only by every reader of the Home Circle Column, hut by every poet and historian while language lasts. It is fitting as our Nation's natal day again approaches that mothers should present their children with a word painting of the little ship "Mayflower." It was in the cabin of this little craft that the charter was established as the rule which would govern tbe Pilgrims upon their lauding on the bleak and desolate sliorj of Massasschusetts, was the germ of our constitution, was the seed which, though cast in a rocky and forbidding soil, has grown and flourish ed until it has become a tree whose branches and shade have overspread this continent, whose fruits are culled by the eager hands of the patriotic all over the world, that they may be planted in other souls and bear fruit in other climes. Let us look forward with happy anticipation to tbe dawuing of Fourth of July morning and teach our children to properly observe the day. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CHAUTAUQUA WHAT THIS MAN SAYS.
