The Mother of Pride.

a town, t. be beautiful. attractive. and
a good place to call home. need not be a
town of wealth. But people must love
their town: love their homes. Love i, the
mother Of pride and pride strengthens the
will and the arm To keep things clean and
to plant vines, flowers and shrubs. Just
because one rcnts a home i no excuse for
dwarfing the soul with ugliness. and i'm
pairing the body with disease because Of
uneleanliness. just a few beauty loving
people can not make a pretty town
everybody must be determined to have a
clean and beautiful city. We wonder
sometimes If a lot of people who take no
pride in their homes and yards, or in the
beauty Of the town. realize that God
played on one of the strongest strings Of
human nature when He gave John n
glimpse Of the wonderful beauty of the
