What VIII Your Children
Face in Twenty Years?

VOU have noticed the differences in those
about you-with both men and women.
The ones who built firm foundation in their
youth to meet lifes emergencies are usually
the happiest and farthest advanced to-day.
Life as it is now presented to us, in all its
complexities, tests every man and every
woman in countless ways. And there are
thousands of worthy people who are tossed
helplessly about by currents they do not un-
derstand-forces they do not grasp Their
formative years were unshaped by the pow
ers of lasting good, and so they find happiness
elusive-the world mad, strange place.
Twenty years from to-day it will be still more
imperative to comprehend the trend of events
to understand life and the conditions of
life, in order that the most may be made of it.
Now that is what you are planning for your
children, planning that in twenty years from
now they will be prepared to be good citizens,
able to take advantage of every opportunity
"a credit to you-useful, happy and success
full men and women
You are training them from their early child
hood so that they may reach this goal
Then do not neglect side of your children's

education which above all else will be i'm
portant twenty years from now.
Do not neglect their religious training.
For you must bear in mind that religious
revival getting closer to the Church
movement, is beginning to sweep the coun'
try. In fact the entire world, partly due to
this terrible war, and partly to the conditions
we are living in, is growing closer to the
church and all that it stands for
Therefore twenty years from to-day, religion,
practical religion, will have hundred-told
stronger hold upon us, will enter still more
into our success and happiness.
Train your children now to understand this
great factor in their lives. Do not compel
them to see the lives Of others made better
and happier by forces they do not under
stand Teach firm belief in God, a true love
and understanding of the church. 1t is essen
tial to their ultimate happiness and success.
Let your minister teach them-he is trained
and able Let them learn, too, by the ex'
ample you set For your example is your
strongest influence on your children and as
conscientious parent you must want this In
huence to be the best.
Go to Church and take your children. every
Sunday. Start in now and

his fist at me furtively several times

to me across the aisle which did not

boy was Peter Whitcomb. At recess
he gave me the core of his apple, al
though there were many applicants for
it.
A boy in an olive green jacket held

that 1t was intended for me. The pa
per was skilfully passed from desk TO
