Heavens best gift is a hopeful
heart, which rises superior to every
adverse element and stems every OPP
posing ude. one such spirit in a

When once home is regarded as
only a place to eat, drink and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends in
gamblingAouses and reckless degra
dalton. Young people must have fun
and relaxation somewhere: il they DO
not Ind it at home they will seek IL
at other and less profitable places
Therefore, let the fire burn brightly
at night in winter and let the doors
be cheerfully thrown open in summer
and make the homestead delightful
Sometimes the hasty word has been
spoken, the sharp, snapplsh word
been earelessly uttered in the home
circle. The true wife's heart so often
bleeds al the bitter, thoughtless, but
cutting word OF husband. When
she is gone TO heaven, and he "weeps
Ger her bier he will remember 10.
