This subject. although apparently an

some of the brightest minds of today.
1t is one of tho most important cub
iects which can claim the attention Of
any wife. l shall endeavor to give You
my best thoughts on the subject.

sympathy and encouragement in the
great battle Of life

business affairs and help him plan and
devise. If she has Tact. she will wisely
direct him into the proper channel OF
thought without his ever suspecting it,.

herself VIE and true companion and
conlidante.
Thirdly. She must be a moral staff

their moral perceptions as women. aud
it is here that she can wield her great
est influence. She must take stand
for the right. come what may. She
must have the courage TO die in pow
ertv rather than live upon the proceeds
OF il!-gotten gains. She must prune of
all immoral twiGs in her husbands
character by her own precep's and
example.
FOurthiy. Man spiritual nature
needs cultivation. and it is she who
must do 1t. There is nothing so at
tractive as a well-rouuded Christian
