HOME CULTURE.
frame n AfcGee

OF the varied creative forces wnlcn
enter into home culture love Is the all
peryading. He love that lives in
home. that binds families, that
creates order, is the most pouerful of
all our contry's pillars
What is home culturuey II is tnat
which makes the nome happy and binds
the hearts OF the parents and children
in such way that there is sunshine in
the home continually
There is something in manhood
whether Of high or low degree. that
rarely tells of the love il misses, but
il we could get at the hidden hearts of
many men we should find that the
want of love and cheer at home send
them TO destruction more frequently
than love of drink.
Home culture does not mean 10 spare
the rod and spoil the child but il does
mean love.
Parents show your childrens that
you love them by letting them invite
few of their friends in once in
while Don't be afraid of a little
inconvenience or a small expense better
keep your children spending their
evenings at home than on the street.
Devote a portion of your evenings TO
them. Have some amusement for
them game or an interesting book
or, II you have a musical instrument,
diversity the amusement by playing
and singing. Children, lavish your
fondest love upon your parents. They
cared for you through the years when
you could not care for yourself. They
were the first whose love was known
to you and yours should be that which
should last through life.
Where home love is what it ought TO
be that child has the best home culture
and thinks highly of his parents deem
ing his father the noblest of men and
his mother the tenderest of women.
The love of the children for each other
should be as intense as that between
parent and child. This love is, AN
ornament purere and richer by far
than gems from the depth of the sea
because this family, loving is the school
of the brotherly loving of manhood in
after years, the family being the
world for the people in early life
where all good culture starts
Another force which enters into
home culture is cheerfullness; the
sun Of all graces, 1t brings about hap
piness for others as well as too urselves.
Many are not blessed with temper
that whose unclouded ray can make
tomorrow az cheerful as to day.
Nature inclines some persons TO cheer

until cheerfulness becomes natural to
any person
