MANS GRANDEsT TREASURE
The grandest treasure it is possible for
man TO possess on earth is a good wife.
The poorest investment he can ever
make is a worthless one. Personal
adornment may please the eye of the
vulgar, but it will not hide false heart.
Sin may cloak itself for a brief season
in the garment of hypocrisy, but sooner
or later it shall come to Judgment.
Pure affection is a priceless jewel, the
embodiment of earthly bliss. In the
true union of husband and wife money
should not enter into the consideration.
The happiest homes the world ever knew
have been bought and paid for by NUT
ual earnings after marriage. The good
and true wife adorns her home and
makes it a little heaven. 1t is the abode
of a royal family, and a king and queen
dwell within. There are no false gods
in such house.
