An Old Favorite Returns

Dear MISS InOmuS.
There is a great deal that / want to write
about. see that many want to tell
them how 10 raise their children. l am ineomr
petent to tell them, but will give my views
on the subject, others can do the same and
maybe light can be gained from some or from
ell
First, you must be Christian and set the
right examples before your children. When you
tell them that they must not or must do a thing
let them know that you mean what you say,
never tell them that they must not do thing,
and because they cry and want to do that thing
give way to them, let them have their own way.
You know that IL is not right, giving them
children win find ont that lucy can control
you. BE firm with them and they will soon
learn that they must obey you. Be firm but not
overhearing and they will soon learn that your
word is law and in after years they viii re-
spect you and love you more for being strict
with them.
Parents ought to know the evils of life and
teach their children to shun them. Children
should make confidantes of their parents, Civ
ing to them with all Of their troubles, girls
especially should make confidantes of their
mothers for they their best friends and
will advise them to do the right.
When young people marry they ought to be
Christians before taking the step and remem-
Der that Il is a life time business, leap in
the dark And a should have little
home to take the wife to, Many girls have left
good homes of love and plenty to enter homes
OF drudgery. want. unhapplness and tears. But
as soon as they marry and set up home Of
their own they should set up family altar,
ASK daily fer Gods help to guide them through
the day and through life and when there are
children they will grow up with good example

Debt and Dishonesty

DEAR HOUSEHOLD:
have just laid aside the Household discuss
ing the question Of marrying a poor man a
rich man. and I naturally suppose that the
''poor mans wife's" testimony Is expected on
this Tnomsutous question.
I must say that I surprised at Of
the ideas expressed. "Anxious Mother says
she bad rather her daughters dead than
married TO n dead poor man. Then she must
tesch her daughters not 20 love such a one. for
IL would BE- a dreadful sin for them TO love a
Ic0r man and marry a rich man.
Right here Is where OF our greatest evils
begin. Parents killing themselves to dress their
children in the height Of fashion that they may
b. able 10 capture q rich partner. Too often
these new clothes are bought on credit and very
little. II any. effort made to pay for them. But
I'm DEPRESSING. Some Of you may say you don

way so as 10 provide that homer

REGARDLESS OF how he got that money.

factors that must be counted in before

Writing to Uplift Humanity

TO be hoped that this year may be indeed a fruit

you a cold morning that It is the worst he
ever saw and he just can't see how he Is to
pull through Ii. And on q hot August day you
meet him and he will tell you the weather is
almost uncomfortable and 50 IL goes.
This fault finding spirit comes often through
unthoughtfulness. I believe IL all would stop
and think moment there would be less com
as they pass over our heads.
The young lady who placed such premium
on money surely Is blinded to what Is worth
striving for in lie. The Book says, Seek first
the kingdom OF God and his Righteousness, and
that includes character, honesty, and Christian
living. all Of which should be placed ahead OF
money.
