So surely as the years roll around. at the
home in which you now dwell will become
extinct The parents will be gone, the
property will be turned over into other
possessions. you yourself will be in other
relationships and that home, which only
year ago was full Of fcOngratulatiOp, will
he eytinguished. When that period comes
You will look back to see what you did or
what you neglected to do in the way Of
making home happy. If you did not
smooth the path of your parents toward
the tomb; if you did not make their last
days bright and happy: if you. allowed your
young brother to go out into the world
unhali0wed by christian or sisterlF in
Huences: if you allowed your younger
sisters of your family TO come up without
feeling that there had been a christian
example set them on you part. there will
be nothing but bitterness Of lamentatIen.
The bitterness will be increased
by all the surroundings of that home: by
every chair. by every picture. by the old
time mantle ornaments by everything
you can think Of as connected with that
home. All these things will rouse W
dgonIZlng memories. Young women,
have you anything to do ir the wav Of
making your father nome happy? Now
Is the time to attend to it. or leave it for
ever undone Time Is flying very quickly
away. | suppose you notice the wrinkles
are gathering and sccumulating on those
kindly faces. that have so long looked
upon you; there Is frost in the locks; the
foot Is not as firm in its step as it used TO
be; and they will soon be gone. The
heaviest clod that ever falls on a parents
coffin lid Is the memory of an ungrateful
daughter. Make their last days bright
and beautiful Do not act as though they
we're In the way. Ask their counsel. seek
their prayers. and, after long years have
passed. and you 90 out to see the grave
where they sleep, you viii find growing all
over the mound something loveIier than
cypress. something sweeter than the rose
something chaster than the liiy-the
bright and beautiful memories Of flial
kindness performed ere the dying hand
dropped on you benediction, and rou
closed the lids over the weary eyes OF the
worn-out pilgrim.
