' HE child that has received 1ove

less case, even though it has
become a wanderer of the street or an
inmate of a prison cell. The heart
qualities once awakened and developed
have opened the avenues in the inner
recesses of the soul, and even reck-
less life can never entirely deaden the
vibrations of the heart-strings, once
set in motion by the great magician.
Love" The best legacy to the child
are the sweet memories of companion
ship and helpful advice given by the
parents during childhood, insufficient
means is unfortunate, lack of education
deplorable, yet nothing to be compared
with the bitter memories of an un-
happy, loveless childhood. This leaves
a grudge never forgiven and always
comes back with heavy interest to the
parents. The heart nature stunned in
its development has become barren,
sterile soil
A child's mind is a blank sheet of
paper, upon which. we write with in
visible yet indelible ink. 1t remains
to events later in life to flash these
subconscious impressions into our con-
seious mind, Every confidence and
positive faith manifested in the child's
I welfare is unconsciously absorbed and
becomes a rung in the ladder of sue
cess. Keep close to your child in its
youth and 1T will keep close IN old age
to you. Eternal laws of compensation
are infallible.

wounded bird. A few receptions like

freeze the little hearts. The boy OF

of his heart nature by the treatment

The respect and attention that he gives

figure Is far in advance of her years

obedience from your child? Then love
it," No parents have serious trouble
with child that knows 1t is loved
and whose happiness is always upper
most in the parents minds. To ''love
a child" does not end with merely pro-
