feet the world. The world is being perfected;
and the time IS coming when man on this earth
will be perfect What God did was to estab-
lish the principle, the relation; and it is the duty
of man To bring into action and rightly direct
the different faculties on the part Of the child.
Some cbiIdre6 can take care Of themselves, get

worthy members Of it Some parents are glad
that they have no t1milies; some Eish no faIui-

He related an anecdote Of woman who had
"tWenty- three children, thank Godin But most
people would not thank God for so many.
Some know how to take care of children and
some do not And yon, young gentlemen, il

great many give children iaudanum to keep
them asleep, not knowing how to take care Of
them Some do not know how to put baby
TO sleep. So sometimes the organ IS too large.
An instance of the excess Of this faculty was u
man in New York who Kept himself and his
family poor by feeding old horses which we're
turned ont on the commons in the fan Of the
year.
We could give many illustrations of this facui-
" OF mind as illustrated in various ways. Some
persons bring their children to rs to know how
to manage them If those persons understood
their own organizations they would know how
to manage their children. Oae with large love
OF children and responsiveness makes a slave of
herself to earn property for her children An
other with acquisitTeness and executiYeness
puts the child into the factory right away
Others with strong moral brains keep their
children in Sabbath school and going to church,
and so on. Well that is good enough as far as
II goes, but that Is not perfect education 1t
IS left mostly for mothers to educate children;
hence, mothers understand more particularly
their peculiar dispositions. Sometimes we find
fathers who are equally interested in children
All fathers ought to be; and that father who un-
derstands the true relation Of parent to child,
Ssih see that 1t belongs as much to him as it
does to the mother to make his impression upon
its mind Some husbands do not know. how to
take care of their wives. One marries beauty.
intelligence, and all that is lovely and loyeable.
A few years afterwards that beauty is gone,
that mind Is bIighted, and that man is seeking
eyoyments elsewhere. If that man had UNDER
stood the duties of husband he would have
known how to keep that woman intelligent and
beautiful. Some women do not know how to
lake care OF their husbands, do not know how
to make home attractive; and hence the hus.
bands go away to spend their evenings II wo-
man knew how to make home attractive hus-
bands would go home more frequently than thew
do, and the home circle would be much more
attractive than 1t Is went home once with a
gentleman, IN Georgia, to examine his family,

woman who had borne this gentleman twelve
children, was as healthy and vigorous, and as
interesting as any woman just married, fresh

Prof Fowler then took up thesOther social
faculties IN their order-friendship and union
for life. He said that the faculty of Adhesive
ness is at the foundation Of nil the ASSOCIATIONS
that exist in society. 1t is also at the founda-
ton of success in business. & Young mans
success in business depends as much upon his
friendship as upon his knowledge. Womnn's
friendship is stronger than that of man. She
sacrifices more. Union for life gives the natur-
al disposition to pair, to marry. It is an indie
pendent quality of the mind The marriage
element is based on this faculty. Some persons
