ITS* There is an oi l legend that runs in this wise: At creation's dawn an an gel came down to earth, and before re turning looked about for something to j carry Pack to heaven. There were three things that attracted the atten tion of the white-winged messenger— a bouquet of sweet (lowers that had | been gathered from one of earth’s fair and blooming gardens, the smile of a j little baby that had been playing with a sunbeam, and a mother’s love. These three the angel carried away, | but when it reached the pearly gates | of paradise the flowers had withered j —the baby’s smile had vanished Only the mother’s love remained the same, and being found as pure and eternal as the waters that flowed by God's throne, all the angels that ranged above ex claimed in unison: "There is nothing on earth pure enough for heaven but a mother’s love!” This was a tribute containing a sublime throught. And through all the ages it has been human experience that the angels referred to in that legend were not over extrava gant in the message which they passed out through the open windows of the "many mansions” along the hanks of I the ‘ ‘ River of Gold. ’ ’ A young man presented an engage ment ring to a lovely girl he had won with the remark, "I am poor, but you manage as mother does and we’U get along nicely.” The young lady invest igated how "mother managed." She was a wife, a mother, a housekeeper, u business manager, a hired girl, a laundress, a seamstress, a mender and patcher. a dairy mairy maid, a cook, a nurse, a kitchen gardner, and a general slave for a family of live. "She works from five in the morning until ten at night, and 1 almost wept when 1 kissed her hand—it was so hard and wrinkled, and corded and unkissed. When I saw her polishing the stove, carrying big buckets of water and great armfuls of wood, often splitting the latter, my heart failed me, and it is needless to say our prices'onW Building Material 1 TUG Famous Sunnu South B U G O \ / Xi the ring was returned." If the wife must drudge let the husband share it. 1 If she must cook let him carry the fuel, if she must scrub let him ei|rry the water, if she must churn let him milk the cows. The girl did what ev ery girl of sense and wisdom would do. . ooo We always feel complimented when we are taken to the family sitting room instead of the parlor when we call up on our neighbors, and still moie pleased if we are given the privilege of going where our hostess is engaged, if at the time of our call she happens to be busy. ✓ With what pleasure do we remember the house where we are welcomed al most as members of the family, feeling free to go to every part of the house. What a delight it is to visit where our advent is altogether a source of plea sure and where we do not feel that our hostess is anxiously thinking "What shall wo eat and what shall we drink?" o o o Good And Bad Mothers. The difference between good and bad mothers is so vast and so far reaching that it is no exaggeration to say that the good mothers of this generation arc building our homes of the next gener ation, and the bad mothers are building the prisons. For out of families na tions are made; and if the father be the head and the hands of a family, tho mother is the heart. No office in the world is so honorable as hers, no priest hood so holy, no influence so sweet and strong and lasting. Unselfish love Is the mother! Cheerful obedience in the ! children! In whatever home these forces are constantly operative, that home cannot be a failure. And moth er-love is not of the right kind, nor of tho highest trend, unless it compels this obedience, The assertion that af fectionate firmness and even wholesome chastisement is unnecessary with our advanced civilization, is a specious and dangerous. The children of today have as many rudimentary vices as they had in the days of the patriarchs; as a gen- ertl thing they are self-willed and in clined to evil from their cradles; greedy without a blush, and ready to lie us soon as they discover the use of langu age. A good mother does not shut her eyes to theoe facts; she accepts her child as imperfect, and trains it with neverceasing love and care for its high est duties. She does not call imperti nence "smartness,” nor insubordina tion “high spirit,” nor selfishness "knowing how to take care of itself," nor lying and dishonesty sharpness.

In no other way can fathers and mothers keep so firm a hold on the young lives. Let the children have their pleasures. Train them to be obedient, neat, and to some extent or derly, and then let them have all the fun their busy brains can dpvise, so long as it is harmless and innocent. Long after they have grown to n an hood and womanho id, even a f ter they have families of their awn, they w-il look back to their childhood aH the brightest oasis of their lives. Mother will be thought of as the dearest wom an and father as the best man. Opportunities. Let us net waic for chances for doing good to come to us, but to go out to meet them. Too many beautiful oppor tunities escape us otherwise. As char ity begins at home, so should love. Wo don’t care much for either the charity or love that would leave its nearest to want for duty or affection, and go out into the world to work. We find it a delightful plan to make each one of my homefolks happy about some one thing each day of our life—plan little sur prises for their delight, do little deeds for them, brighten a dull hour, or con gratulate them upon some achievement of their own. Of one thing we are certain, we are too chary of our commendations, too stingy of our praise and, alas! too lavish of our blame. “Thoughts are things" and words, if true, ure their manifest ations. How often have we thought favorably of many things, yet said no word. For all snch sins of omission we must ever suffet deep regret. How easv it would have been to have said. “That is so beautiful!’’ or “How well you do!” We think of things like these when out opportunities are flown forever; when the dear head we loved lies low —when the brave hands are still. If we had only spoken, the way must have been more bright, the labor less dull and wearing! ooo Parents often say, “I live for my children."
