having been thus blessed we owe certain duties to those with whom we come in contact the one important duty is the consideration of the feel ings of others especially do we owe this consideration to our associates in the home the feelings of our mother above all other persons on earth should we hold sacred the amount of love that one has for other's deter mines to a marked degree the sensibility of one's nature it is impossible for us to conceive of the boundless love of a mother in the home where there is union she holds the side door key to each heart so our first duty is to her if we keep constantly in mind her desires and live as she would have us live we should be sure of an exaltation in the kingdom of our lord selfishness is not approved by our maker this was shown in the council of heaven when satan proposed his plan in which he ignored the father entirely and thought only of honor for himself as a result his plan was rejected ; while that of the savior which was just the opposite as it gave all honor to god was accepted and christ became the redeemer of mankind it is impossible through out his entire life to find one act which would point to selfishness although he was in a position to criticise all yet he always considered the feelings of others looking down from the cross he saw his mother weeping for the loss of her son and the beloved desciple standing near and jesus commended her to the charge of the beloved who took her to his home the enemies sneering and jeering at him received a prayer and even the thief beside him was given comfort thus though in the depths of agony jesus showed consideration for others before appealing for help for himself the wind i blow where ere i hsteth no man knoweth where i nutter o'er the tree tops and rest in upper air the acorn page 30 the slumbering leaves in spring-time i waken from their sleep and at my call the noweretts small from the earth begin to peep when from the north with courage bold in winter i descend i come with force and fury wild the viking was my friend . when from the south with loving breath i gently — sweetly come the whisp'ring leaves follow my path as shadows do the sun i bow where ere i listeth i float where no man dare there's music in my wanderings inspiration in the air
