THE CHILDREN.
Tho mother that is too busy to tell
hor children o story when that OF re-
reated request Ia made, 1t to be piticd,
N not blamed. While tho hands are
engaged In nolding bread, In ironing,
or In putting In the tucks OF plaits OF
the children's new finery, the mother
can, II shs will, take her mind from
the reflections which are occupying 1t,
and tell the eager inquirer tho story OF
how Columbus went 10 the king, and
Of the Jewels pswned by the good
Queen lsAhelln, or she can tell tho
whole Bible through in ehort and
simply woTded stories. Did you ever
Try 10 tell tho Book OF Mormon through
In that way? Try It, and you Will On
Joy It as " ell az the children. Then
tho infinite material found in history
works up into delightful stories, and
you will find no emf TO yYir profit and
The child's pleasure II you will amuse
him and yourself In this way. The
child who has never been told stories
~ deprived OF one Of his most precious
rights. DON'T you know that the In
nuence Of the mother Is OF paramount
Importance 10 the character Of the
chfidf But am Of the candid opinion
that the mother who II known only to
her child ne tho woman who feeds and
olothes him has not half tho influence
In the formation OF his character that
Ia possessed by the companions he
meets In the streets anu who fills his
vacant and inquifing mind with
questionable material. Whom will our
Biaters wake up to the fact
that they have plenty OF time 10
read and talk TO their children II they
will only tako 1t from the hours spont
IN Idle gossip, In useless efforts 30 vic
with their neighbors In tho matter Of
cothes aud style OF living? You, my
dear anu ovorworkod young mother,
Just take your little child this evening
and when you undreso the weary form,
tell him tho Htory OF Adam and Eve,
or Cain and Abei,of Solomon's Temple
and how II was built, OF Nephi and his
brothren, OF the good King Benjamin
or MOsiah, Of the conversion OF King
Lamont, OF Columbus, OF AmorigO
Vospucius, OF the Pilgrim Fathers, or
OF The Boston Tea Party. IL you are
lllle rusty on these things, take ten
minutes before you go to bed and read
IL yourself, md then repeat II TO him
next night In the simplest md most
ohildllke language. Your reward viii
DO given You In the rest and JOY 1t will
DO to your own mind; md who can
measure the results In the future?
THE GIRLS.
Nothing can batoken tho fact OF the
early coming OF the dawn OF the Mil.
lennium more clearly than the fact
that there Is such widespread interest
awakened In ihla country on the sub.
lect OF physical culture. II our young
ana blooming girls once learn thor
oughly tho lesson OF health and real
beauty, marriage will not eerve them
W II has 90 many Of their mothers; ia.
Stead OF changing from the rosy, plump,
hpflghtly, laughing girl 10 q haggard,
lhln, sorawny, aallow, old young wo.
