The foundation of society rests on
its home. The success of the home
rests on the wives. Therefore, first
of all teach our girls how to be sue
cessful wives. Begin early to train
their character. Teach them that
jealousy is an immortality and gossip
a vice. Train them to keep the small
est promise sacredly and to speak of
people only as they would speak to
them. Teach them to look for the
best qualities in everyone they meet.
and TO notice other peoples faults
only TO avoid them. Train them to
do small things well and to delight in
helping others, that sacrifice made
for others pleasures is a means OF
soul development. Once given a firm
foundation Of character like this,
which the poorest as well as the rich
est parents can give to their girls.
and no matter what necessity arises
they will be able to rise above it,
The mother who brings her chill
dren up in truthfulness and sobriety
TO useful spheres, and who looketh
well to the ways of her household
when the passing of time has left
the frosts of winter i'm her hair, and
the beauty of youth is fled, then is
she worthy of all honor. To our
mind, no nobler epitaph to a woman's
memory could be written that that
she has been a good wife and mother.
