blessed. There was a tender spot
in her warm, motherly heart for the
sick and afflicted, and the purity of
her life aud conversation, her kind
ness Of spirit and grace Of conduct,
her patience and fidelity in the dis
charge Of every duty will be held
In kind and grateful remembrance
by the people of this community.

through all the succeeding years
she lived a consistent christian
dying with a triumphant faith and
hope of everlasting Immortality.
She is survived by six children

tend our heartfelt sympathy to the

hope that even so great a bereave-
ment may be overruled for their
higher and eternal good. She was

and in the presence Of a large con-
course Of relatives and friends the

manding obedience.
All parents wish their children
to be obedient-that is, to do as
they are told without question or
dispute. Yet we have only to glance
about us to see what a signal failure
most parents make of their efforts
in this direction.
Why is it that such a fundamental
virtue as obedience is so difficult OF
requirement that few children pos

onts seem to have given up in de-
spair the attempt TO incucate it?
There are two reasons which lie|
at the root Of this state of AFFAIRS.
delay in beginning the training,
and want of persistence in contin-
uing it. A child six months old is
not too young TO be taught what
obedience means. Long before he
has reached this age a baby knows
that he can get what he wants by
crying for it, and he can also be
taught that some things are not
yielded even to this appeal.
tits, of course, absurd TO suppose
that an infant can be made to un-
derstand and obey all the wishes Of
his parents, but it can be impressed
upon his little mind that there is
anauthorityoyer him againstwhich
it is useless for him to rebel, rebel
lion being futile and profitless.
When once this is understood,
the difficult task Of teaching obedi-
ence is half done. The other half
comes later, when the reasoning
powers have developed and the
child can be trained to yield hie
own viii to that Of its parent as a
matter Of principle.
