GREATEST GIFT TO CHILDREN

Somebody asks What is the best thing that par
ents give to child?"
Probably many people will have many answers
but know well what would say If such query were
put to happy childhood
This is the most precious gift within the power
of parents to bestow and is gift of the spirit wholly
Children who reared in happy surroundings
who grow in love and laughter and confidence, have
heritage by which they will be enabled to the
greatest difficulties.
Nothing is so sad miserable little child. No
matter how high in rank he may climb how many
dollars he may accumulate, how may be his
the remembrance of childhood blghted by care and
evil, by sight of quarreng and hatred and tears
What though you do have tribuations during your
days upon the earth? If you look backward to a
sunny childhood and golden dreams. you may survive
them more bravely. Happy memories do not make
us more bitter profess to believe. They en-
able us the more noby to endure the pain we suffer.
They dffuse a rosy glow over whole existence.
Happiness in infancy and youth develops the best
nature of the child 1t colors his whole future; it
changes his spirit; 1t influences his entire existence
1t Is of little consequence that you not able to
give your children heaps of money trips Europe
or even long days in college What matters is
whether you have been able to make them look upon
the. world with glad eyes in childhood. Have you
made them sensible that love is upon the earth? Have
haven to which they long to return? Have YOU
made it possible for them to have blessed memories
of their childhood and you?
For other things they may get for themselves
Learning and honors and riches pleasures may be
procured by their own Efforts But only you fathers
and mothers. can give them the memories of happy
youth.
