the Bible, and in it is written
something like this: "Train up

when he is old he will not depart
from it," [ am trying to empha-
size this point (rearing children)
because here lies the root of our
troubles. 1t is plain to my mind
that children properly reared make
good citizens, and this of itself
insures good government, and
when that is attained we are free
to look after individual interests:
and if we will rub the dust off Of
the golden rule life will be worth
living.
Well sir, here [ am talking
about rearing children! [ forgot
it was no longer decent to bear
them. Of course by way of aoci-
dent one occasionally comes into
the world, and the demands of So
clety are SO great that it's rearing

later on to the school teacher. T
don't mean there are no excep-
tions; happily there are some.
[ understand there are not
enough people to do the worlds
work. From every direction comes
the cry for labor, carefully trained
abor, labor that will guard against
accidents and stop this slaughter
of innocent people. Alsa there
are too many childless couples.
and to such, who go down to the
grave without ever having held
child OF their own in their arms I
say, may the good God pity them,
for they have missed the sweetest
thing in life.-H. A. Gillian. in
