home. When I returned to England I:
asked this man about his son. -now'
grown up. Almost violently he said
that he didn't know much about hie
son -a man in his 20's, and didn't:
care to. The son had gone wild,' and
probably had cost his father a'good
deal of money. He had been abandon,
ed by his father.
Why do I tell of these families;,;
persons' and homes? Here's the tea-
son to point;out the worthwhileness•.
of making one's home a happy place,„
a place of pleasant memories, a place
of character -development, a place;:
where all who dwell there consciously.
and purposefully devote' 'themselves -
to
themselves.to the practice of kindliness, toler-
ance, harmonies, good manners, cour-•
tesy, hospitality, virtue, culture.
It takes an immense amount of
grace to live right in one's home. Toe,
often one imagines that one can be,
at his or her worst in one's home, re --
serving one's better manners and ex-•
hibitions of one's better nature or
qualities for other places and cam-
panies. After marriage both husband
and wife seem to feel, in so many in-
stances, that there is no longer neces-
sity for the exhibits of graciousness,,
generosity, consideration, good man-
ners, patience that were shown int
courting days. Selfishness and one's
bad or careless qualities slowly assert.
themselves. Instead of habitual and.,
cultivated surrenderings to the moods,.
will and desires of the other, there is..
a steady assertion of selfishness.
Tensions soon multiply in number and'.
hardness, Discordant notes in domes
tic speech become frequent, and in-
stead of there being a determined and.
a mutual effort to avoid scenes and'
situations which drive apart husband
and wife, there is an easy surrender
to bad tempers.
Children reared in a home where
there is d:scord get a very bad start
in life, and it is not to be wondered
at if they tend to waywardness.
It takes grace and intention and
resolution and infinite wisdom to
make and keep homelife a bit of hea-
ven on earth—to make one's home a
haven when life is stormy or danger-
ous or bitter. But aIi effort to live
finely is worthwhile, and has sweet
and comforting rewards,
