I think how much trouble it caused my darling mother; and I think, too, of her gentleness and patience with me, how, instead of beating me, as T have seen some mothers do their children, she would talk to me in kindness; with tears in her eyes, and no matter how hard I was to conquer, she would always win thu .victory; .and nothing else wouldjiave xlonel quick-tempere- d, -- it. ' . : Memory also brings' to my mind how, with an infant babo only two weeks old, she lorsook father, mother, kindred and friends, homeland all things dear, but her own immediate family and the lovd of truth, and endured, with heroic couiage, the hardships and trials of the Saints, and then crossing the plains laid down her life striving to obey the Gospel. I was then only seven years old, but my dearest recollections are of her, and her gentleness and sweetness; and of dear father, too, for I never remember hearing them disagree. To them, with the help of my Heavenly Father, I 0 wo all I am, and I can say, in humbleness and thankfulness, I have tried to cultivate an even, cheerful disposition, and the trial has not been ah eritiro failure Dear mothers, my. observation teaches me that it is much belter to rule with love, kindness and firmness. When I see a mother deliberately double a rope and whip her daughter until her flesh is bruised for weeks, I cannot, help thinking, poor, ignorant soul, it must hurely be for lack of wisdom that you act thus for I know you desire-to do the child good. O how infinitely much depends u pon the character of our children,, and this upon tho they receive from us. Mothers intrainiug Israel, actual and prospective, the duties now incumbent upon you might well make angels falter nor can you become mnthpr without :r.-' ring those responsibilities, but if you are wise, and properly train your children, how great, how glorious are your privileges. O mothers, I fear and tremble when I think how imminent is our danger; urid when I seo so many of our youth growing up jn ignorance and lawless rowdyism. My greatest hope is in the mothers may God ropen our eye? and-sti- r up our souls to our momentous duties, and help us to properly train our children, and may He enable us to be what wo ought, for as we so are, will our children bo. And let us exhort our girls to be wis in their husbands. Do not choose for thd father of your children men who will get drunk, and spend all their earnings for strong drink-m- en who will come into your presence using obscene and profano language and abuse you in every way. But choose, rather, men of refinement and men oi God.Ypu havo as much to demand virtue, honesty and sobri-etright y from them, as they from you.
