Our Children.
“What do I owo my children ?”
I propose in this article to carry
! the discussion of this question a
little further, for I am convinced
that we have not given it that con
siderations its importance de
mands.
I hope every parent who reads
this article, and who has read the
one of last week, will understand
that my object in thus addressing
them is not as much for their in
struction, as to get them to think
ing on the great subject of “Child
Life.” If you do not agree with
me in my argument, do not accept
my conclusions; but by all means
begin to think on this great ques
tion, because like “Banquo’s
Ghost,” it will not down at your
bidding, but stare you full in the
face, and you must dispose of it
one way or another.
Let us not shirk the responsibil
ity, but kt us meet it as becomes
parents of the 19th century. Let
us rise to the dignity of our crea
tion, let us put behind us the
grovelling appetites and desires of
the animal man, and realize that
we are not dealing with machines
created to make food and clothes,
but that we are dealing with hu
man beings in whom there is im
planted an immortal spark, and
who can be made an immense pow
er in God’s creation.
But now to the question. You
have a child born unto you. You
raise it carelessly, educate it in
differently, if at all, and when it
reaches manhood, you present it
to the world for citizenship. The
world demands of the child, “What
can you do? Have you auy power,
any force, anything, that you can
put into me in order that I may be
carried nearer my great destiny.”
The child hears the question, feels
its own weakness, and turns to its
parents for answer. “Father, the
world demands thought, and I lack
thought; the world demands pow
er, and I lack power. Father, the
world tells me that it is engaged
in the great work of subduing this
earth, according to God’s com
mand, and lam not able to put
any thought or power into this
great work.” Yes, the child charges
its parents with its own inefficien
cy. Such a man falls back in his
helpless condition, runs hither and
thither in order to procure a few
clothes and sufficient food to sus
tain life, and hence the force and
power and strength of a human
life is lost forever.
And I tell you parents, this is
what is the matter with the world
today to a large extent. A major
ity of the parents of our land do
not realize this great responsibility,
they do not recognize the fact that
they are bound by ties of duty,
placed upon them by God himself,
to give their children all the
strength and power possible, and
then to see to it that this strength
and power are used for the uplift
ing of the human race. By strength
and power, I mean power to think,
power to find out things, power to
do things. A man who has the
power to comprehend life, and to
know what it means, is a very dif
ferent man from the one who has
not this power.
Now the question presents itself,
“How much power (education)
shou'd I give my child?” There
is but one answer. All that you
possibly can. Not what you con
veniently can, but every whit that
lies within your power. Shall we
say that we will educate them e
nough to ouable them to make a
living, and stop at that? Shall we
give them p >wer to make bread and
meat, and no more? Surely we
are not created simply to make
bread and meat. If we work that
we may eat, and eat that we may
work, and continue through life
ja this planner, why should we
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Royal fe«jg
Absolutely pure
have lived at all? What honor is
there in being a man? How much
better are we than the ox? Far
better to be an ox. True the ox
lives to eat, but he has been made
serviceable to creation by man,
and the ox has no responsibility.
To whom has a powerless man ren
dered any service . Such a life is
a total failure. Is this the idea
that impels you to educate your
children? Is the little education
you are giving them, given with an
eye to their making something to
eat? They can make a livelihood
with the little education they re
ceive by association. If the aim
of education was to enable man to
more easily make something with
which to satisfy the animal in him,
and no more, then I would be op
posed to it.
But no! Education reaches
higher than the carnal man, anti I
ardently desire that the parents of
my state shall view education in
its true light-
We educate our children that
they may be felt in the world, and
felt on the side of Truth.
If we educate them, we give them
power to think, power to act, and
then if wo are careful that that
power shad be turned towards the
Right and Truth, m m becomes, ac
cording to God’s will, a force in
the world, and he may 6et other
forces in motion ; and these others,
and so on to the end of creation.
Ido not see how we can feel that
we have performed our earthly du
ties acceptably in the sight of God,
when we neglect to equip our chil
dren for the duties of life . Their
training is our duty, our solemn
duty, and parents, let us beware
lest their inefficiency be charged
up to our account.
Let me close this article with a
short quotation. “We hold that
the highest office which can be
conferred upon human beings is
the office of parents. Upon the
faithful and wise fulfilment of its
duties depends the welfare of man
kind, more than that of governors,
presidents and kings.”

The inauguration of a President,
the selection of his Cabinet, and
the seating of a new Congress—
national events of the coming
year—suggest the question. What
are the powers and duties of these
high officials? During 1807 it will
be answered through the Youth’s
Companion, in a remarkable series
of articles by Secretary Herbert,
Postmaster-General Wilson, Attor
ney-General Harmon, Senator
Lodge and Speaker Reed.
The illustrated Announcement
for 1897 (mailed free on applica
tion to the Youth’s Companion,
Boston) shows that the above is
only one of many brilliant “fea
tures” by which the Companion
will signalize its seventy-first
year.
Three novelists who at present
fill the public eye—lan Maclaren,
Rudyard Kipling and Stephen
Crane —will contribute some of
their strongest work. Practical
affairs and popular interests wi'l
be treated by Andrew Carnegie,
Hon. Theodoro Roosevelt, Dr. Ly
man Abbott, Madame Lillian Nor
dica, Hon. Carl Schurz. Charles
Dudley Warner, Mrs. Burton Har
rison, and a hundred other famous
men and women.
Four fascinating serials, more
than two hundred short stories,
and ten times as many sketches
and anecdotes will be printed dur
ing 1897; and all the departments
will be maintained at the high
standard which has made the Com
panion’s name a synonym for im
partial accuracy.
The cost of the Companion is
but $1.75 a year, and we know of
no investment that will give so
great returns for so small an
amount of money. New subscrib
ers will receive the paper free from
the time the subscription is re
ceived until January 1, 1897, and
for a full year to January, 1898.
New subscribers also receive the
Companion four-page Calendar,
lithographed in twelve colors,
which is the most expensive color
production its publishers have
ever offered. Address,
