 the less they are called out in the family life, the less moral and reli- gious capacity will the child have later in life. If the mother and father make themselves slaves to the chiid's caprice, he will naturally look on God as his factotum.'
 "Again, the child Is constantly brought into contact with nature and . with material things. If he Is to control them, he must know and fol- low their laws. One must be rather doubtful of the advantages of unques- | tioning obedience to persons, for even the best of persons is liable to error, that a child may easily feel he is compelled by some brute force to sub init to caprice. But there can be no such possibility in following Natures laws. Obedience to principles can be inculcated, and from this 1t Is short | step to obedience to the moral law and to God"
 l On the subject of selfishness. Mrs. 1 Matlock said: Mothers sometimes la ment the growth of their children to | manhood and womanhood, as If the bonds of love were lessened thereby. This may happen when the child is allowed to accept without any return the greatest sacrifices from his pa- rents. He is thereby taught selfish- ness. and Is allowed to think his good Is distinct from his parents and su- perior to 1t. Love is in It's nature active and self-sacrihcing, and increas- | es in proportion to what 1t does. Love and service are inseparable terms, and so from babyhood, the child should be encouraged to do his best in help l ing about the house, in comforting his parents In their worries and In cele- 1 brating their joys"
 Mrs. Mauock touched upon many other points of the training and care of the child, on the initiative quail ties, on the imagination of the child, on the treatment of the tendency to falsehood and many others. | In conclusion, she said: The power | of imitation and suggestion Is so great we must reach the conclusion that our l children's defects are far more due to | the imperfect copy that we furnish 1 them than to any original sin In the children. and that the first and most essential preparation for teaching and i | tarenthood Is that we make our hearts clean and our spirits pure" CHILDREN's BALL AT
