Family DlMsenntonn. Dissension In families often arises from a lack of imitunl consideration among tlio members of the family. The "soft answer thnt tnrneth away wrath" Is forgotten for the hasty reply,-the un kind retort, that kindle the fire of 111 feeling. J.ove does not llngor In the home where rudeness shows Its unlove ly qualities. It chooses to dwell in the home where the spirit of unselfishness, of self control, of thoughtfuhiess and of # charitableness makes the atmos phere sweet. The woman who Is quick to take offense Is not like her of whom Holy Scripture says. "Her ways ore ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." Happy homes depend on happy hearts. Home Is distinctively a woman's sphere, and she who sweetens It most makes earth nearer heaven. Oil (tic InHtpllment l'lun. Mi's. Browne?Oh, what lovely wed ding presents!
