Love YoUr wives.


Husbands, love your wives, Moth
ing brightens q true woman like love,
She will do anything, suffer anything,
for the sake Of a husband who truly
and tenderly loves her and whose
heart Is one with hers, Where such
love ends widnwhood begins, The
woman who has q husband who ia not
wholly hers, monrps the loss Of q
champion, and endures the presence
Of a mummy. But where coniugal
fidelity and affection exist, poverty,
priYation and toll are welcomed glad
ly for the joy Of loYe, Bat this love
must be more than mere words, II
must be in heart, in life, in deeds and
an truth Il mast be solfdenying as
well as salf-desiFing LaFe b0aFeth all
things, and ondaFeth all things, and
never faileth, And when in her weak,
ness, weariness, and sorrow, woman
can feel that she does receive from her
husband such a self-denying love as
this, when his strength bears with her
weakness, bis patience with her pa
lience, and when his calm courage
soothes her fright and fears, what gFat-
ilude sWells up with her heart. We.
