When the Son Marries
BY HILDA RICHMOND.
Every real mother likes to send her
daughter forth on her wedding day
with as nice an outfit as the family
pure,e will efferd, but many good
mothers are realty ignorant of the fact
that their sons should have certain
articles, as weli as should the prosper...,-
tive bride. Many families innocently
suppose that if they give the young
man a sum of money to help buy his
farming equipment and furniture, no-
thing eke is necessary. Indeed many
of thein, and well-to-do people at that,
provide nothing for their sons to take
to their new homes. Mis conies about
through lack of knowledge rather than
stinginess many times.
Onte. bride was amazed when she
looked over her young husbaucl's
clothes to finci that he owned nothing
but garments thriftily /latched and
reputehed by his fiugal mother. Of
course, he had a new suit to be mar-
ried in, with new overcoat and new
things from the skin out, but his en-
tire wardrobe, whiCh was small, was
in poor condition.. Now that mother
would have given up her life for that
boy if it had been necessary, but she
did not hesitate to humiliate him by
sending him forth with such an outfit,
when she ,could well afford to in.ake or
buy new for -the young man who had
faitheully worked on his fatheads farm
sineeteeturning from high echoed,
The mother of the young man )about
to. he married: should see 'that he has
enough undergarments, night shirts,
socks, shirts and personal articles,
such as lienclkerchiefs, ties and little
things, to lest .several years. Young
men starting in liCe find many places
for their hard-earned dollars, and the
boy who does not have to pay out
money immediately for working
elethes and underwear la very grate-
ful to the mother -tV110 foresaw the

' Every young man should have his
own bedroom suite to take erona his
old home with him, Perhaps ties bride
has hers to bring to the new home and
one a the outfits can be for the guest
room, which every country family
needs. Along with his bed should go
his mattress, pad, sheets, pillewe, pil-
low slips, quilt, bedspread, pair of
blankets and a comfort. Many country
families would feel disgraced to let a
boy go from home without a fully sup-
plied bed, even to a feather bed,-
though the latter ha.s gone out of
style in many quartera.. There is
something delightful in being able to
give each son fine new, clean bedding
to go with his familiar bedroom suite,'
arid no matter how -well the young
wife is fitted out with such things, the
husbanld's plenishing always comes in
handy. Only recently I saw a quilt
pieced more than seventy years ago
as a peat of a son's bedding in pienter,
days, and cherished all these years1
even to the fourth geneeation. Tha.t1
sturdily made quilt has seen much
wear and shows signs of it in its faded
blocks, but the tiny ets_erand an
lmods
quilted in by loving hands are as firm
as the day ,it was finished.
The, bedroom furniture is really all
many y
families can afford and all the
consider necessork to give, but Many
fond mothers, particularly mothers of
only sons, add other things such as an
easy chair, a bookcase for the familiar
books, a rug; a stand, a bedroom lamp
or any other thing the boy has used
in the .oldhome. Every mother should
have saved up the school grade cards,
the childish pictures, ;the toys with
which the boys played ,and a few of
tile 'garments he wore. A little box „of
treasures for each „ehild, is ' a. pi:ecious
posSessien, but children never think to
collect .these things for themse117'es.

They became as empty and unreal as
the idols they worshipped. Went after
the heathen. Again and again Israel
had been told that they were to be a

small and weak in comparison with
some of the heathen nations and they

1. The cause of Israel's downfall.
Doubtless there were various converg-

elimination of the truly religious

hnow from the prophet Hosea, and
also from the narrative of the lesson
passage, that there was a, loud ap-
pearance of religion (vs. 8-12), but
the reality was Missing. The ritual
was a mixture of foreign CIIStOMS, STE4
the conduct of the people was frivol-
ous and irresponsible. No man spared
his brother. No nation ean endure
with such a sandy foundation.
2. The great responsibility- of the
leaders. Hashes, had some 1'e:tem:rang

of Assyria. He thought that he could
