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.” J. W. McWhorter.

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.
