Harmony in the Home.
Cotton Journal }

What priceless thing Is love
And yet we find in many homes
no effort made to secure and
preserve this priceless thing.
1t is true there are instructive af
fectlons which some are foolish
enough to believe will stand anv
test, but experience has proven
that mOther-love is the only god
like thing that survived the fall,
and for the want of proper appre-
citation that often fails to pre-
serve perfect harmony in the
home.
Discord in the home generally
begins with husband and wife.
and of course the children and
servants readily imbibe such a
spirit; therefore the remedy for
such an evil must be applied to
the source. Concessions and
compromises are important COM
moditles in home life. The newly
married couple must learn their
value and place. Too much of
either practice by one without
counterbalaDce by the other pro-
duces tyranny and an offensive
self-assertiOn which is harmful.
UnseIfish love is the only preven-
tive or cure for discord between
members Of the family. Fathers
and mothers must practice it and
teach it diligently to their chill.
