My heart goes out with great love and sympathy for dear girls and boys—especially those who are. la boring under disagreeable embar rassments caused by neglectful pa rental care in ihe days of their youth. Now, dear ones, do not get into your heads, that your ways are alright—regardless of what others may think about it. We have known inany girls and boys who having a natural aptitude for being disagree able cultivated the gift with assiduity and success - by tone of voice, by word arid act. they were continually giving offence to those with whom they were thrown— as if they found a pleasure in it. Now you will ad mit that this is unwise. A very large portion of the misery of life arises from the unwillingness or ina bility of some persons to be agree able. Patients, self-control and self-sacriHce if you would be always pleasant. The smile and the soft word have often to be the results of much repression. Much of the spontaneous feeling of the heart has to be kept out of the look and tone By such discipline it is possible to gain, not only the reputation o) being agreeable—but actually to bf so. Now let your influence be for good, we may forget this secret, silent influence, but we are exertirg it by our deeds, we are etfertin* it by ’ our words and by our verj thoughts. 1/et us seek tc put forth the highest power for good be ou home a cabin or palace. There are some beautiful cbaract ers we meet with ahnj Lie’s patl - way. men and women, *ir!s am boys, who strive to b * an influenc in the lives of others, :ati.e'' than i tyrant over their souls, they walk along by the side of the wtak anc tempted in a helpful wav. The in fluence of one bad girl or boy will taint . a whole community. On< reckless, dissipated in a scnooi will bring many into evil ways am: theii influence will be unconsciously felt through the whole circle. Now m> dear ones let the trace of your in fluence gather force and strength and when life is ended and your burden is laid down hnd your "spirit hath returned to God who gave it." Then your influence will remain sunset lights in an evening sky in the hearts and lives of others. Dear mothers, let us compliment our friend Mis* H. E. Malone for her nice beneficial letter reminding us of our neglectfulness toward our children. We must submit to the accusations brought up against us, some of our little children are grow ing up to sin and shame. As we look around among our neighbors and friends, we can see girls and hoys who do not know what it is to mind their parents. The mother seems to take it easy us if she had no oart whatever in helping to train them, she tells them this and that— and she is going to tell their papa when he comes home, so they do not know when to believe her. Mothers, we have a partin this ‘’sweet home.” If it be not so, why do we take so sacred a place, will we allow our selves to neglect so great a responsi bility and be unworthy of the dear est name on earth. Mother, what hallowed what holy influence, what infinite tenderness and resistless love encircle with ffilded glory this most divinely in- TBS rm AMD STANDAXD. WALTERBORO. 8.

Let us learn them to mind while they are small and do away with this old customary habit of “parents obey your children." Do we not'see this nearly everywhere we go. girls and boys twelve and fifteen years of age, talking back to 'mother, disputing and cross with each other. “It is so much easier at first—but oh, so much harder afterwards." Yes. we have failed to do our duty. Lost opportunity. The neglectful ness of so great a responsibility causes our girls to fall by the way- side and our boys to wear the ball and chain. It caused a poor boy a few weeks ago, to pack hit few be longings and leave his childhood home to go out and seek for himself a home among strangers, gone with out the love and affections of those who should have been his best friends on earth. A poor woman came into my room this morning and as the tears ran down her face she told me her sad story, said her boy waa made leave home over seven months ago and she did not know where he waa. But the saddest 11 *ry of all—it to sit by the bed-aide of a dying mother, and hear her say, “If I only could live my life over again. I would live it so different from the past. I have failed to do my duty toward my children." Mothers, let us not wait till life is almost gone before we see our sad mistake. May we cultivate the gift of being more patient, forbearing and familiar with our children, that we may gain their love and confi dence, which is so much needed by our girls and boys to-day. We can more, easily learn them to be good by examples of loving kindness and tales of well-doing in others, than threatened into obedience by records of sin. crime and punishment. Let our homes be the garden of our a - fections the spot wm-re our highest designs are centered and the b i<ht est and happiest place which G d tm.- : given us to cal: ii >me sweet' home ” _ * Wishing Trie 1'res.s and Standard great success. Sincerely, Aunt Hej gie. t NEWS FROM BETHEL.
