Think what this means—seven dol lars out of every ten invested in food, clothing, household utilities and all the multitude of things that keep a family comfortable and happy. It’s a big job to spend so much money wisely and well. It requires careful business methods to get the best possible returns from each dollar that leaves the family purse. The clever woman goes for help to the advertising columns of her news paper. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants. She com pares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opporunity of judging and selecting almost anything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, in struct and generally bring up her fam- ily.

Last week we learned tho:;e things which it is to be hoped gave us a bet ter undorstanding cf how it happens that a man comes into the world. No topic could be more fitting than this when we have just brought to mind our mothers by celebrating Mother’s Day, for rcthing leads us more humbly to pay homage to our moth ers than the realization that they are the perpetuators of the race; that through their travail and suffering we are permitted to be here in life. In the Bible'j it says “the sins of the parents are visited on the chil dren even to the third and fourth generation.” It might have been said just as truly that the virtues of the parents are handed on to the children too. When we were bern into this world, what we were in a physical, mental and spiritual way depended upon what cur ancestors were in a physical, mental and spiritual way. It is a solemn thought that some misguided, idle deed cf ours now may cause suffering to a poor, innocent child fdur generations | hence; it is just as enobling a j thought that our righteous conduct today may serve to make that same babe a better boy or girl.
