Surely nothing wiser or more beau tiful was ever written respecting the training of children thl.tn those lines of Mark Twain's: “The mother of my children adores them—there is no milder term for it; and they worship her; they even I worship anything which the touch of! her hand has made sacred. They know her for the best and trues: friend they have ever had or ever shall have; they know her for one who nev- sr did them a wrong or cannot d t th'-ni a wrong; who never told them a lie, nor the shadow of one; who nev. er even deceived them by an ambigu ous gesture; who never gave them an unreasonable command; nor ever contented herself with anything short of a perfect obedience; who has al ways treated them as she would the best and oldest In the land, and has always required of them gentle spece’-. and gentle conduct toward -all. of whatsoever degree, they chanced to eomo in contact with: they know her for one whose promise, whether for reward or punishment, is gold, and always worth its face to the mt< r most farthing."—McCall's. 444444444 4- 4444 4 MEETINGS. 4 f ♦ 4 PHILATHEA CLASS. 4 4 The l’hilathea Class ef tin- 4 4 Firs'. -Baptist church will meet ♦ 4 at the home of Mrs. John Moss 4 4 Friday afternoon at four o’clock. 4 4- ♦ ■4 LADIES' AUXILIARY. 4 4 The Ladies' Auxiliary of the A' 4 4 M.
