Our Women and Children
Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards.
JOSEPHINE SILONE-YATES, A. M.
We fondly cherish the memory of
the late Josephine Silone-Yates who
spent her life in the interest of the wo
men of her race. Just before her death
she contemplated the publication oi o
book of poems among which was the
following gem, which we feel might
appropriately be quoted in memory
of the late Booker T. Washington.—
L. S. E.
“Thou art at rest! no more, the
stormy scenes of life,
In which—a warrior bold—thou didst
not fear the strife.
The trumpet’s blast, the call "To
arms,”
For thee, brave soul, held no alarms!
Nor didst thou fear if rife the air
with potents dire,
Thy hopeful soul foresaw, beyond the
gloom and mire,
A breathing space—a talked-of age
of peace!
An age of light—from war, a rare
surcease!
An age in which a race would mount
and rise,
To seek from Heaven that boon, that
prize
Which comes alone to those who con
quer self.
Yes, still we seek this prize, in spite
of earthly pelf.
Therefore, rest on, brave soul, rest
on, nor weep,
Ye friends,—“He giveth His beloved
sheep,”
Although our eyes with tears are dim,
“Thrice blest the dead, who die in
Him!”
And from the deep rolls in this glad
refrain—
“Reward is sure and Christ is gain!”
Therefore, rest on brave soul, rest
on.”
—J. S. Yates.
WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?
Every woman ought to have some
pet interest in life, outside of the
everyday routine which composes her
regular occupation. What is yours .'
Don’t say you are too busy, too
tired, too uneducted, too isolated, or
too cramped in the crowded quarter
of some great city. Nobody is so
hampered by any of these handicaps
as to be unable to find time for a
hobby. And nobody who hasn’t at
least one hobby is getting all the
enjoyment of life to which she is en
titled.
The man who wishes to be strong
continually lifts great weights. The
would-be runner steadily practices
running. The musician becomes
skilled in music by constant practice.
So it goes in every department of life,
in the heart and mind and soul, just
the same as in the muscles and bones
and nerves.
When a woman falls a prey to the
treadmill of routine she is to be pitied,
her self is beginning to decay. The
best tonic for self is enthusiasm. The
only sure developer of enthusiasm is
a hobby, something in which you can
take lively interest by way of relief
from monotony. If you wish to keep
young, and bright, and interesting,
and enjoy and prolong your life, don’t
delay another day.
Get a hobby.—Ex.
JUST FOR A MOMENT.
Oh, just for a moment, when Christ
mas has come,
Sit down, little girl, little boy.
And silence the trumpet and muffle
the drum,
Forget every doll, every toy—
Then think, in the stillness that fills
all the room,
Of somewhere far over the sea,
Of hearts that are dumb in the sense
of their gloom,
Of Christmas that never will be.
And just for a moment, you grown
ups, suppose
You return from the gladness at
home,
Where candle shades give things the
color of rose,
And then let your fancy roam
To homes that were once, and to
hearths that are bare,
To children who know naught ox
glee—
Then just for a moment, in thought
you will share
The Christmas that never will be.
So, just for a moment, suppose you
and I
Agree on this deed we will ao.
We’ll think of the children who won
der and sigh
Of Christmases that they once
knew;
We’ll send them a prayer; we’ll send
them a thought,
And hope that we never may see
The days dipped from hell that of war
fare have wrought
The Christmas that never will be.
—Wilbur D. Nesbit in Life.
