LIES LITTLE THINGS.
They Are the Most Potent Forces
that Affect Us, and Most Clearly /
Reflect Character.

Whatever great issues are before
us, we must not forget that life is
made of little things; seconds and
minutes form the hours, days, weeks,
months, years.
While you are planning the events
of coming months, or years, helping
to shape large reforms for the bet
tering of the world and humanity,
do not lose sight of the trivial
events of daily life, that make happi-
ness or unhappiness for those about
you.
If you are married man your first
duty is to your family; your second
duty to your business associates; pour
third duty to the world at large.
But this last duty can never be ac-
complished in it's fulness unless you
are a good, clean, kind, sober, decent
man in the home.
BY good, l mean considerate and
thoughtful toward your wife and
children; by clean, l mean clean in
habits, clean in person; and kindness
and sobriety and decency carry their
full meaning with them.
No men need expect to reform the
government and establish an order of
love, peace and good will to men if
he is cold or irritable toward his
wife, severe toward his children, or
in the home or among his business
associates.
Success, Too, Begins at Home.
Unless the coming home of hus-
band and father means joy to the
family; unless his footsteps is music
to their ears, he need not expect to
be a power for good in the world:
and no change of government can
make him a happy or influential man.
No woman who seeks for large
field of usefulness in the world can
obtain it unless she is first of all use
full and loveable in the daily life at
home.
If wife and mother, she must per-
feet herself in those lines, or BRAID
her life a failure, however she sue
ceeds in the fields of literature, art,
charity or reforms.
The good son makes a good hus-
band, the good daughter a good wife,
as rule.
band and wife who build their homes
on the altar of unselfishness and con-
sideration of others are fitted to
work il the larger field of useful
ness for the betterment of the homes
of the masses.
If you are longing to do something
to improve the world, see to it that
you improve yourself little every
day. Restrain the quick word, the
impatient reply, the carping criti-
cism.
Give Others Praise Freely.
Instead of looking for and COM
menting on the flaws in those you live
with, look for something to praise.
Begin each day with a compliment
to your associates, wife, husband,
children. friends, comrades, as the
case may be.
Tell them if they look we'll, or if
they have done we'll, and give them
a sense of courage and hope for new
achievements.
If they do not look well, or if they
have not done well, be silent and
make no criticism until you have
learned the cause.
Perhaps it is your habitual lack Of
appreciation which mas discouraged
them.
Do not be afraid of spelling any
one by praise. More lives are ruined
by lack of it than by it.
Praise freely, criticise sparingly.
Do not be afraid to tell those near
and dear to you that you love them.
1t is one of the saddest possible mis-
takes to suppose those We love will
take that love for granted.
Speak it as well as live it. Love
grows by being uttered.
Set love vibrations into motion.
They will charge the air with cleo
trio force, and will give you new
power, new vitality, new influence
to rise in your business and your re-
lations with the world at large.
Love much
