The home that possesses a cheerful wife and mother is not only a veritable haven of rest, but the safe harbor whose beacon light will guide her bread winners safely past all rocks and shoals with unfailing certainty. 'I he woman whose cheerful spirit can take that "brave attitude toward life" that enables her to bear courageously the inevitable burdens of her life's environment; that strengthens her determination not to fret or worry those who, for her sake, are fighting the hard battles in the world, has reached that altitude that proclaims her price above rubies; and her influence and example are not felt only within the limits of the four walls she has made the unassailable bulwark of state and society, a happy home, but reach to those she knows not of. To make a boy into a pure man, a mother must do more than pray. She must live with him in the sense of comrade and closest friend. She must standby him in time of temptation as the pilot sticks to the wheel when rapids are aiound. She must never desert him to go off to I superintend outside duties any more than the .engineer deserts his post and goes into a baggage car to read up engineering when his train is pounding across the' country at forty miles an hour. A man who has made a happy home for his wife and children, no matter what he has not done in the way of achieving wealth and honor; if he has done that he is a grand success. If he has not done that, and it is his own fault, though he be the highest in the land, he is a most pitable failure. We wonder how many men in a mad pursuit of gold, which characterizes the age, realize that there is no fortune which can be left to their families as great as the memory of a happy home. np T A WATCAM L/Ii. u . jrv. y v Jr^.
