Are you furnishing your family a good supply of reading matter? This is an important thing to do. Do not stop at taking just the papers that suit your taste. Take some of the others, for it is only by knowing what the fellows who are wrong are doing that you can be able to meet their arguments. This does not mean that you are to take papers that are vi. cious. It simply means that you are under obligation to take papers on the other side of questions on which good | men differ.
