A Wonderful New World"
1t is only after we ourselves have

should we not welcome the unfolding
of the wonderful new world that

Of the happiness of motherhood,
Mrs. Mccormick says:
when we waken to the realization
that the baby in our arms Is our
own, that We have the right. the priv
ilege, the honor to be called mother,
we find that something new is with
in us. a love different from any we
have experienced before-a pride,
Jealous care. a great overwhelming
joy
a little soul is loaned to us to love
and craze for. What great confidence
God has put in our love and our wis
dom to make US such a gift.
The child who today lies in our
arms. entirely helpless and depend
ent. is going to grow and develop.
We must then bestir ourselves. Are
we going to be prepared to meet each
phase of development wisely ana ca

going to be net by an intelligent. low
ing mind. ready to grasp. to guide. to
advise? If this is so. how wonderful
is each moment of every day"
Sacrifices" Are Joys
OF the often mentioned sacrifices
in a mothers life" Mrs. Mccormick
writes:
MAY ask what sacrifice is? Is
doing what love prompts Us to do
ever a hardship or deprivation? Are
not the noblest deeds of life the deeds
prompted BY love? In our married
life il is lore which payes each days
