Childless couples who repent of

break Il if they choose. They
jeopardize no other interests than

The saddest sight in the world

Generally the parents were di-
vorced, or separated, but almost
invariably the home was a place of
disccrd.
The inference is inescapable-
the children who come from happy
homes in which the father and
mother get along peaceably to-
gether also behave themselves.
They are not juvenile criminals,
and so, fathers and mothers, if you
want your children to grow up into
being good men and women you
must give them the right sort of
start.
This can only be done in real
home. a home that is fun of peace
and love and good win, and where
there's just one permanent father
and one permanent mother, and
where the mother teaches the chill
dren that the father is the pattern
Of manhood that they must copy,
and the father inculcates into the
children minds that their mother
is only a little lower than the an
