Very often that dear word or its equivalent in baby language, ds the hast 'indication a child gives, that he is going to .be able to at sometime ,Master the language of his permits. :From the time we lisp that first word until the sad day we ,stand be. side her and bid her 'a last farewell no one should occupy such a high place in our lives as Mother. A briar Tose bush was growing in a ditch. A 'gardner came along and up rooted it with a sharp spade. The briar thought to ;itself "What is he doing that for, ,.Does he . not know that I am just a common briar Tose?" The gardener :took it into a lovely garden and planted it beside a cul- tivated rose bush. Again the briar thought " I1'e has made 'a big mistake. I am not 'worthy of a place in this, beautiful garden." Later on the man came with a keen edged knife and g'rafte'd it into the lovely rose bush. By and by when summer came there were beautiful roses on that despised briar rose bush. The gardner could When your wedding bells ring you will look lovely as a bride Photographed.as a bride will help keep beautiful memories of your wedding day fresh in your mind. Fourier Brothers PHOTOGRAPHERS Phone 48 McEwan's Clinton have transplanted the, bush and Just future. In the years which, be ahead can you expect your child to :have any respect and love for you if you allow,' him to so rule his Iife that he, wil4 have to spend years of remorse over some :act which he has dome. The only thing you eardo is to leek batik to the time when as even a baby you :allowed 'him to be "Master of all he surveyed" A. little 'boy once asked' hisl!other which ote the characters of "Pilgrims •' lgums Progress" the liked a best. She re- plied °Chr'istian of course, he is the hero of the story." `.'I don't the boy said I like Christiana best, for when Christian went on his pilgrimage he started alone, but when Christiana went she took the children with 'her" left at there to spread among the other bushes and beeeme'a nuisance, but he bad a purpose in his action. ,He knew that he could by grafting ;make a beautiful rose out of what was a flower,' net wanted' in a 'garden of beauty. Although this. is the time approach- ing Mother Day yet the father should be included in a talk on children, for it should only be by the combined working 'together of father and Mother theft the responsibility. which God has given them coal be planned and worked out. 'There is a most pathetic tragedy in many homes to -day, Why? Be- cause parents have forgotten their marriage vows, Many 'Christians What a beautiful thought that is, have become infatuated with a man The Mother seems to be nearer to the or woman, either youth or older in children than the father. So often years. They have married without the father is :incliner) to Ieave the re any 'thought of the future. Perhaps they have known one another a matter efejust a few weeks. What should have been a home even if it was composed of perhaps only two rooms has turned out to be a shell of a house. It would not have matt- ered in most cases if it had been a M•ansiom the outcome would have been the same. They 'were not suited to one another. They had made their marriages vows to God, but God' had no part in their lives, A little child comes into this house. What does that new life mean to parents? I•n many cases there is great re- joicing especially if the parents are Christians but oh, the tragedy when ' the little one is not wanted. God Him- self ;rust look down on such in- stances 'with pity. Daly after elay • we . read in the papers of little children and youths coming under the law for things which they have done Some blame the children, but others agree that in Many many. instances the fathers and Mothers are to blame. In some cases Mothers have, of necessity to go out to work to help to keep the home to- gether. As a consequence the boys and girls some from school, there is no one 'there to greet them with a smile. If they have brought their hooka home they throw them down, then go opt. Nothing more is seen. of thein until hunger drives them in for their evening meal. Some par- ents have control of their children but others can do nothing with then after the twenty -minutes of tea time is over the boys and girls are off out Iagain and that is the last is seen of them until long past the time when they should be in bed getting the rest which is required for their schooling. It may be and probably is true that the housing problem is respons- ible for a great deal of this as there is not roomfor them to play inside but it is also true that the parents a. so h to H It G ligious training of the family to the Mather whereas in reality the father should) lead his loved ones at the family altar morning and night . to the God to whom he is responsible for their well being, Many .Mothers and Fathers to- day are so busy with worldly pleas ures that they have no time to direct the minds of their children to God who will be their best B'rend in all walks of life. Parents can you not see that there is nothing in this world like the love of God and will you not give your own hearts to. Him and them be in• strumental in bringing you children to Hien. There is no home so happy as the one where •Ohrist reigns sup- reme and no children have suoh'joy- ous lives as those who are brought up to love God and to pass on that love to others. As has. • been said there is quite oft- en a reason for children having little respect for ;their parents but no child youth or adult should ever neglect those who brought them into the world. Whether they feel they have been wronged by their parents or not they have a duty towards them. Sons and daughters will make a big fuss over Mother and Father on •the days set apart for them and will oft- en show little consideration towards them through the rest of the year. When we were young what would have happened to us if our parents had just cared for us during one day of the year. We would have had much more cause to think unkindly of them (if suoh is the case) than we do now, How often during the week do we drop a line to our dear ones. Some think if they write once a week they are doing well. That is absolute neg- lect. We spend much more time on something which is less worthy. Let us think of how patient thed have been when time after time we have spoken to them in a tone in which we would not dare to speak, to any - re glad to get them out of the house one else and then try in spine way to they, tired after a days work, may:make up for our unkindness to them, ave a little peace and quietness, I It is indeed a very wonderful thing Mothers and Fathers take time to to make a close friend of our parents. ok into the future of your child. �'%Yho can sympathize with us in a e did not ask to come into the world way such as our Mother does and to was you who brought him here and ,whom can a man go with a deeper od will hold you responsible for his sense of receiving advice than to Inc Mayor A.

Many must realize that if it was not far Government funds that our parents would go oftimes tattered and hungry. Did they leave us unfed and improperly clothed? .No, they would go without, themselves first. When they have gone on will the tears which we shed' be those of sweet affection or will they be a mockery? Those of us whose •Mothers and Fathers have gone to the great Be- yond can no longer extend to them personally our love for then', hue aye can pass along that kindness to some one whom we feel could do with a little more happiness in their lives.
