BLESSINGS OF PARENTHOOD.
(By Rev. I. Chantry Hoffman.)
Advanced thinkers advocate the
control of the birth rate, but this is
ir. direct opposition of the obligation
of the marital relation. These ex
ponents are not so numerous as they
are noisy; they are not so impressive
as they are insistent.
Poodles were never intended to take
the place of children. God’s gift of
children makes the home an oasis in
life's desert and they are the stars
that cheer the hearts of the wearied
workers toiling in the night. “God’s
estimate of the child is to be found
in the Child of Bethlehem; the atti
tude of Jesus is seen in the blessing
of little children and in making one
of them a living text for a most
searching sermon to self-satisfied re
ligionists of all ages. A little child
shall lead parents to the heights of
holiest living.
"Parenthood is transforming. The
fickle and frivolous maiden is changed
into the mother with the shining face;
the light-hearted and self-loving
youth is changed into the serene and
sacrificing father. The parental ideal
is realized in obedience to God through
reverence for His Fifth Command
ment; this means that if parents are
to be honored there must be children
to honor them. Father and mother
are most precious family names and
the prodigal son and daughter are
brought back through the memories
of father’s devotion and mother’s re
nunciation.”—Purity Magazine.
SEVEN GOLDEN RULES.
(By Rabbi Henry Berkowitz.)
Don’t argue.
Practice self-control.
Use common sense.
Be frank.
, Cultivate a kindly humor.
Appeal to shame.
Have heart-to-heart talks.
These are seven golden rules for
the management of children.—Ex.
NO ACORN.
When James A. Garfield was pres
ident of Oberlin College, a man
brought for entrance as a student his
son, for whom he wished a shorter
course than the regular one.
“The boy can never take all that
in,” said the father. “He wants to
get through quicker. Can you ar
range it for him?”
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Garfield. “He
can take a short course; it all de
pends on what you want to make of
him. When God wants to make an
oak he takes a hundred years, but
He takes only two months to make a
squash."—Christian Register.
BUCKLE DOWN.
Y _
Buckle down and meet it wherever it
may be.
Nothing’s very easy, though we make
it so with glee.
Buckle down and face it with the sun
shine on your shield.
If you buckle down and meet it there’s
a chance that it will yield.
Buckle down! What magic in that
challenge to our strength.
The call that comes to every man of
energy at length.
Buckle down in earnest if you want
to win the goal;
Buckle down to duty—if you care for
heart and soul,
Buckle down and beat it with the
force of all your will.
Buckle dowrn and conquer every
shadow of the ill;
No one makes a highway to the
dreams that shall come true
Till he buckles down in earnest to
the things there are to do.
