A Mothers Influence.

the trainers of beings, not only for the worlds
walk, but eternity as we'll We have seen mothers
who prded themselves upon their scrupulous eX-
actness as to the minutest details OF good house
keeping box the ears of their little ones if they
dared ask many questions.
A little child looks out upon the many strange
things it sees with questioning wonder our world
weary eyes can never know again; and in just so
far as we show them-thus gaining their confidence
and affection-we are developing their God-given
powers, and creating within them healthful ap-
petite for that which is pure and useful.
Of course there is limitation to questioning, if
it is done merely for the sake of questioning; but
this any wise parent can control, and lead into
proper channels Some mothers have the habit of
mystifying their daughters, and concealing what
should only be learned from mother, thus leaving
them to learn of some not over pure minded girl
things pertaining to the most vital Importance as
concerns their future well being. We knew of
gifted lady lecturer who told with tears in her
eyes, of how her mother had evaded and prevari-
Gated her answers to questions, UNTIL when she
came to know Of the falsity, she not only lost con-
fdence in her mother, but seemingly, for a time,
in everything else, even to the indulgng in infdel
belief But for her there came a healthful reaction,
which led her to the espousal of Christianity, after
which she made it her lfe-work to teach mothers
their duty concerning their young daughters.
Mothers should encourage a confidence with their
daughters which no outside influence can overcome;
this can only be done through the winning of their
affections, and through a perfect confidence on
either side, which must never be left to sacken or
grow cold, and daughters of such mothers will not
cause sorrow through Opponents.
Some mothers say 'our boys are exposed to
temptations, but our girls we can keep safe at
home" Do not think they are away from tempt
alton if you send them to school, they will meet
daily with those whose thoughts words and actions
are impure-that is they will say and do things you
would blush to have your daughters do.
Mothers, you must have your girls strengthened
within the elmer court of your love and wise in
struction to 60 out shielded with full armor to
the battle of life; having them so trust in your
wise teachings that they are invulnerable to all at
lacks of the enemy. 'But it is such bother to
spend so much time with children" we hear some
one say. Which would cause the most trouble,
cline upon line ''here a little and there
little" or the long, weary hours spent in
unavaing grief because of a daughter who
had married clandestnely? We have no

obligations. So much hinges upon the duty of
mother that it is really serious thing to become
one. God help us every one to do our duty we'll
