JUST EVERYDAY HUSBANDS
A recent writer on matrimonial fail
ure blames girls lor expecting too
much in the man they are willing to
marry. Y’ou mothers know that
wealth, good looks, social position,
and similar qualities are not all; that
in fact they weigh lightly in the final
judgment of a man’s qualifications
as a husband.
Of course, it is very nice to have
money and position; but they do not
guarantee happiness. The man who
is very rich, or very good-looking,
or very talented is quite likely to pos
sess disadvantages that will more
than offset his brilliancy, his wealth
and his social standing. The girl who
is herself highly educated is seldom
happy with a brilliant husband. The
girl who is constantly measuring the
money and mansions of her family
against those of her husband is quite
likely to be unhappy. The vast ma
jority of girls—those who possess no
special distinctions or advantages, are
a good deal better off to marry men
who cannot boast too many of what
are commonly mistaken for the more
valuable attributes of eligibility as
husbands.
Those qualities that are most taxed
by marriage are not the social bril
liancy, the intellectual gifts, the big
bank account. They are qualities that
must stand the everyday strain. A
good disposition is better than great
riches, and a sense of humor would
have prevented many divorces that
have been obtained from husbands
of splendid intellect and large finan
cial resources.
Be wise, mothers. The marriage
of ambition is handicapped from the
first. You know the truth. Every
day wives need everyday husbands.—

LEAD GENTLY LORD.
By Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
Lead gently, Lord, and slow,
! For oh! my steps are weak,
And ever as I go,
Some soothing sentence speak.
That I may turn my face
Through doubt’s obscurity
Towards Thine abiding-place,
E’en tho’ I cannot see.
For lo, the way is dark;
Through mists and clouds I grope,
Save for that fitful spark,
The little flame of hope.
Lead gently, Lord, and slow
: For fear that I may fall,
I know not where I go
Unless I hear Thy call.
My fainting soul doth yearn
For Thy green hills afar;
So let Thy mercy burn—
My greater, guiding Star!

PRAISE OF FATHERS
By Estelle M. Hurll.
It is often remarked that the father
has been much less praised than the
mother in song and story, but this is
only superficially true. In Shakespeare
and the Bible the father receives his
full meed of honor. From these great
storehouses of literature, we may
frame our highest ideals of the rela
tion between father and child.
Through human fatherhood, the Di
vine Lord is most clearly made mani
fest in the world of men. When He
brew theology and pagan philosophy
had exhausted themselves in describ
ing the Infinite in finite terms, the
Son of Man came forth to teach us
to call him by the dear human name
of Father.—Ex.
