Much of the blame for this state Of

Daughters. They are taught from ear

one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any

her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. II
such women could learn to be kinder

If you have no JOY in your re-

Lots of people pay for success
and forget to thank God after
they become prosperous.

The man with a little faith
deserves little God. The man

There is no power On earth
that can lift to heaven, or shove
to hell like the touch of a
mothers hand.
Where did Moses get the nerve
to say, Excuse me, please. to
the pleasures in Egypt? He got
it from his mother.
A man is fool who thinks be-
