the many faces on the other sloe OF

institution crumble, but the force
that starts with the birth of a child
goes on to the crack O. doom.
An investment in parenthood never
stops paying dividends. and the rich
ness of those dividends may be de-
cided by the parent. For all that you
give in thought and love will come
back for your enrichment even though
the child himself shall fail you.
This is the parents heritage. not
because he is in himself talented and
strong. but simply because he has
become the creator and guardian of
life. All this the child does for his
father and mother. He is the medium
by which they enter into the full
ness of their heritage. why. then.
should parents whine because there
is a price for them to pay?
