Pictures.


A properly furnished house is, with
out doubt, one of the most important fea-
lures in a home. Pictures are generally
the last thing considered, which is with
out doubt the most serious mistake. The
influence exerted upon each member of
household because of the surroundings
is one of the most serious questions that
confrOnts every citizen. How important
then that beautiful pictures, tastefully
selected, adOrn our wall, ever keeping in
mind a sentiment involving the beauti-
full, the cheerful, the noble, the pure and
the true.
Microscopes and landscapes are re-
freshing to the eye, bringing to the
mind pleasant memories of the past; but
figure pieces, involving beautiful faces,
have character that influences the soul
to deeper emotions and higher aspira-
tions, giving purity of thought welding
a powerful influence over the mind,
making the home ties more binding
giving more strength of character than
any other inanimate object
Pictures of flowers cause the mind to
dwell on Gods handiwork, bringing
purity of thought and purpose.
Pictures of children bring cheerful
ness and contentment to the mind, and
are appropriate for every room, especial
ly the dining room.
Pictures of composers of music and
authors of good literature give strength
of character and purity of purpose.
Pictures of statesmen thrill the heart
with noble aspirations.
Pictures of scientific principles give
breadth to the mind and develop thought,
arousing the mind from its lethargy. Gre

in line for which God designed it
Pictures of the above character will
always tend to cause the purchase of
good books, instilI within the child in
the beginning of life a desire for the
beautiful and pure In order to effect
such a result the mother must be in the
closest sympathy with such a purpose,
and must give closest heed to the means
of its attainment Prenatal influences
are the strongest upon the child-life.
The most permanent and positive i'm
pressions are imbedded in the mind pre-
vious to the age in which a child learns
to read. Then it follows that all the in
telligence which a child gains is through
observation. How important it is then
that the surroundings partake of the
nature of the beautiful and cheerful
