we want our children to be beautiful.
But to have beautiful child, one beauti-
full not only in face but also in life, there
are certain things which the child ought
to possess. Our age forgets that one OF
the fairest charms of child life is obedi-
ence. An obedience which is r~sdy,
happy, and cheerful because it has learn
ed that fathers will and mothers
will is like to the sweet will of God. lt
is fact observable in the rising genera
ton that they are too fond of having
their own way. They have not learned
the old Napoleonic saying, THAT to be
general, one must have first to obey as
a soldier" And it adds new beauty to
every child face when it gracefully and
happily yields to the proper authority.
Another beautiful trait of child life is
the characteristic Of respect for all and
regard for others rights. No one admires
domineering, proud and selfish boy,
who does not treat his elders with re-
spect nor his comrades with regard. A
great many of our fancied rights end in
selfishness in this world. And the child
who has learned good manners, respect
full speech to ottlSrs, regard for others
feelings, has mastered some Of the great
lessons of successful and happy life.
The flowers suggest to US also that
childhood should have its usefulness in
the world. This idea that child can
never help its-parents, can never do any
useful work until it comes to years OF
maturity is false teaching for the world.
Flowers have their uses. They are not
mere passing changes in nature. They
are quite as neces sary in the development
of the fruit as any other stage Of thu
plant life. Why, then, do we in this ags
turn away from Gods teaching in nature
Why do not our schools teach the chill
dren to work as well as TO play. Their
