To them a soul has been given to train for . a higher existencea pure soul, and if it becomes stained, blackened, or withered, whose is the fault? Little sins llke lfttle Veeds take root rapidly, and will gro w anil ohoke out all the sweet blossoms of truth and innocence, unless the mothertvith an ever watchful and prayerful heart, sets them an example worthy of imitation. How many mothers see their children grow up from childhood to man and womanhood, a disgrace to society? Need we ask who is to. blame, when the good old book we are taught to believe in says if parents will train their children in tho way they should go, when they reach maturity It will not depart from them. If mothers have a desire to rejoice at the,, harvest, let them sow the seeds of wisdom and righteousness while they can.
