A. •MAN- NING, Houston, Texas. Home Life of the Scholar, A H alp or Hindrance to the S. S. Teacher • The following excellent paper was read by the late Miss Clara Robertson at the S. S. Convention held in Au- burn in February, 1897. The deceased young lady was a daughter of Mr A. Robertson, of Colborne, and a member 6f Smith's Hill congregation. She was an active, earnest Christian worker, and her death is deeply deplored by many friends. She has left behind the fragrant memory of a life of singular beauty and power; a life of sincere de- votion to Christ and to His causes:— In thinking, over this subject I find it will be well to look into different homes, see t.hextraining, teaching and example set in them and the effect on the. children. First, we will look at the critical home, where the teacher is highly .spoken of, probably ridiculed, some pecularity point out, some fault or failing severely censured before the childiren; such fault finding may do in- calculable harm, and undo all that the most faithful teacher can do. Not only this pupil, but how eager they at • hisper it to another, so the in- ce r: feltfltlrrough the class. Par - can not be Coo careful bow they crRicize, Then Paul in writing to the Colossians, chapter 3: 21, says: Fathers provoke not your children to anger lest they be discouraged. There the parents by their continual fault find- ing, outbursts of temper, injustice and undue severity discourage the child; children irritated in this way lose heart, and in the end renounce even the en- deavor to please. This illustration may bring out a point:—A little boy had exhibited bad temper, was pun- ished for it and sent to pray for a bet- ter temper. This is the prayer he waS overheard to utter—"O Lord, please take away my temper, and while you are about it you might as well take my mother's too." It should be r emem- bered that approbation is as necessary to the child as counsel; the patent should be both the confidant and com- panion of the child; keep the child nearer to tnemselves than any one else, then their authority will be absolute, their opinions oracle and the slight- est wish law. But there are those whose whole conception of family trainir:g is summed up in—Don't do this and don't do t hat, don't go here and don't go there; turn which way the child will he is hemmed ' in with prohibit inns, which tend to weary the child and make home and home teach- ing distateful and make him wish to be out of the home as much as -possible. Then again there is—oh don't bother me, oh ge5 away I have not time for you now; who are satisfied to have them do or become what they will':as long as they keep out of the way. Next we look at the Society home. The first friends we all have are our home friends, the first soul that touch- es the child's life is the mother's. How important it is that the home life be gentle and sweet and thearents' spit - its be pure and true. A Christian par- ent sacrifices this gravest interests when society is permitted to occupy the time, attention and energy needed by the family. There should be re- sources in employments, books and home pleasures, so that it will not be needful to rush around and draw upon the outside world for enjoyment. Amusements have their place, they are necessary, and many a household would be saved to purity and truth if this want in the home had not led to the search of outside enjoyments. We often notice that what is in the parent a taste is often in the child a passion. The children will follow in the foot- steps of the parents, but they will go further and what was merely a past - time and pleasure for the parent may be ruin for the child; how quick the descent is sometimes or children who aye been startedon this inclined an . It is'seldotn possible to enforce the mere theory without a living ex- ample. bout school or home duties or btteines or society parents will talk, 1-- 1 matters are kept in the rS d. They do not pray in priva e with the child, nor with the family together; they do not ask a blessing at, the table; nor do they teach the child from God's word. Is it any woilder if children brought up in such circumstances show little inclination to spiritual growth. Then there is the Financial home.

Prosperity brings social demands, and the children grow up without godly influences at home; a prayerless family will soon find the way of transgressors hard. The love of money is the root of all evil. Christ says, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God. What about the child in the home. In the home where wealth and the ac- quiring of wealth are the main objects in life, and the effect of it on t he fam- ily, I think I cannot do better than quote a passage from Dr. Hall's Chris- tian horne--"Yes I am rich enough, growled a succeesful roan, but where is the use of it. To make money by hard work for a scamp who is longing to get it." Yes, poor man and million- aire, he had done everything for that scamp but train him up in the fear of the Lord. There had been efforts made by others for the heir of this in- sipid fortune; there was a time when he seemed not far from the kingdom of heaven, but he went back; his father did not want him "too to extremes." He saw that to go forward on that line was to break with a hundred things natural and fit for a person in his position. He went back, and of course was farther from the kingdom and more set against it than ever be- fcre; he became intensely occupied with pure frivolity; he was the busiest man of his set about pleasures; his prospects brought showy and fashion- able minions of both sexes. Company on week day and Sunday absorbed his time. When money flowed freely channels for it readily opened; for a while he was master, then he was the slave. Then there are homes where the children have free access to light liter- ature, which gives them a distaste'for healthful reading, gives them wrong ideas of life; the Bible, S. S. papers and libraries are tame, and if they can get an excuse would rather stay at home and read it than go to Sunday School; it should be remembered that books, as well as companions, influ• ence us. A trashy or vicious book may do more harm than a frivolous or evil companion, and many young people read trashy books because they do not know how to choose. An apprecia- tive taste for good reading is lying dormant in many a young person, who reads worthless fiction, simply because he does not know where to flnd good, intellectual food. I think if this was attended to in the home it would be a great help to the S. S. leacher. The Christian home. There are many divisions in the school of Christ; the home is one, it is the first school- room and the good mother is the first under teacher. The .ancient r•abbes used to say "God could not be every where so he made mothers." We read and hear a great deal of the influence of the earnest, pious "mother, but one cannot do the work of two, and-dowe not sometimes see this good influence overbalanced by the example of the careless, indifferent father. The fa- ther is the natural head of the house, and on him God lays the responsibility of the religious training of the family; father and mother should work togeth- er with God in leading the children in the way of life. Who can measure the power of the Christian home; in the home the heart's love is drawn out exercised; pity the boy and gill to whom home means nothing more than a shelter from nature's elements, and yet there are so many whc are homeless and motherless, not because they have not a place to stay .and some one to cook, and wash, and sweep and clean, but because the love, joy, peace and all that makes the word home so dear has been left out and mother has in the multiplicity of cares lost sight of the great "and important duties to love the little folks, make home the dearest spot on earth and train them for heaven. We can hard- ly overestimate the influence of the Christian home in the training of youth. The S. S. has sometimes been called the nursery of the church, but the Christian :home rather deserves the name. Every congregation affords abundant illustration of the influence of ehristian patents in the training of their children. The best^and most enduring principles of religion can never be left to the S. S. to impart; - they must be the personal concern of the parents to instil. The home has always been the real school with its daily object lessons in faith. virture and reverence. When the home ceases to be an altar, when prayer is banished from the home, the process of degen- eracy may be retarded by the S. S., but can it be wholly checked? No one knows, no one can know the child as the parents do, and knowing what they are -and -what they need who can so guide and strengthen. It is a great and grand Thing to have coldly par- ents and to grow up in an atmosphere of love and prayer. Blessings descend through parents to their children, and their example sheds a blessing upon those who in their earliest days look upon their holy life. Parents who are YOU CAN IF YOU WISH, RESTORE THE SNAP, VIM, ENERGY AND STRENGTH YOU HAVE LOST. Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills have been a great boon to my daughter Maggie. Prior to taking them she had been suffering- from excessive nervous- ness for a long time, and her nerves were in a terribly shattered condition. The action of her heart was so weak that it did not have strength to perform its functions, causing violent palpitation and smothering after retiring. Frequent- ly, on account of this suffocating sensa- tion she was afraid to go to bed. Slight exertion exhausted her and caused short- ness of breath. Her blood was impover- ished and lost vitality, and she had no appetite. She was wasting away and was very hypochondriacal, feeling de- Jshejected all the time. Last December began taking Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills, and she improved at once. Her blood became healthy and strong, and in six weeks her impaired nervous system was restored to its normal healthy condition. Her heart responded to the healthy condition of her blood and nerves and resumed its strong and healthy func- tions. She now sleeps without any of the dangerous, distressing, smothering and choking spells ; her appetite is good, and she has gained ih flesh. Healthy color has replaced pallor, and she is now well and strong, thanks to Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills. I thank you, gen- tlemen, for the remedy that has restored my daughter to health. A.

WARD CO., 71 Victoria St., Toronto. Book of Information free. truly Christians in life and character make a home for their children which is full of b:nedictions. Here it is that parents and teacher work together in harmony and unity; the aim of each being the bringing the child to Christ, and in training and building up noble Christian character. It is not enough for the perents themselves to love God, they must see that the children are also taught to loge God and do His will. Few things are sadder in life than the home where the parents are godly but where the children, through lack of teaching or training, drift into the world. In many Christian homes it would seem as though the parents were interested in every branch of their children's education, except in the Scriptures. After providing each with a Bible, with their name on prob- ably, and sending them to Sunday School, there their education in that line stops. Their school work must be attended to each night—music lesson must be practiced, etc. This is right, but while the one is done, the other should not be left undone. While some of these scholars would blush if caught in a geography or history question,they think nothing of not te- rng able to answer the most simple Bible question. No amount of public religious service can atone for neglect of home duties. There can be no hol- ier, no more sacred duties than those which relate to this. The last thing to be crowded out of the home life should be faithful, loving care of the little folks, and the training of them for God. Paul, in writing to the Co- lossians, at the 3rd chapter, gives us the ideal Christian hoine. How help- ful itwould be if there were more of them ? Home is the place above all ethers that tests the quality of piety. The real self is disclosed. Whatever cloak of pretenses in word or action may hide deformities to the eyes of THE CLINTON rim ERA . the world. is it. not visible at home. Be sincere, true Christians ur be sure your children will find you out. They have sharp eyes, keen perceptions and sound judgment and they will, in the end, take you to be exactly what you are. But too many parents delegate their own duty to the teacher rhe S. S. teacher can never he the parents' substitute—an assistant they may be It was to patents, not to the S. 5. teacher these commands were given : 'Train up the child in the way he should gal." "Bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," One hour in the week is all too little in which to congaer natural ignorance, distaste for spiritual things, and in many cases, positive unfavorable in- fluences. Anyone who has studied human character knows in how many instan- ces a bent is early given to the young mind to which it after many years yields. This is one element of hope, when trying to influence the young, that early impressions will some day 1 be felt afresh, though for a time they may be obliterated. But will the prin- ciple not work in the direction of good as well as evil. The child's life is like a piece of paper on which something is I to be written. The father writes, the mother, the teacher, each day's exper- ience, every touch or influence • of home life or other lives, leave their marks; temptation and struggle, books, { education, companions, friends, all do their part. Religious habit and ex- pression, devout manner and pious ex- ample from parents go far to mold the child's life. OUT OF THE WAY Jamie's feet are restless and rough, Jamie's fingers cause disarray, Jamie can never make noise enough, Jamie is told to get out of the way. Out of the way of beautiful things, Out of the way of his games mail toys, Out of the way with his sticks and strings, Out on the street with the other boys! Easy to slip from home restraint, Out of the mother's care, into the throng, Out of the way of fret and complaint, Out in the fun—borne swiftly along! Out of the way of truth and right, Out with the bold, the reckless, the gay, Out of the purity into the night— Mother, your boy is out of way! Out into darkness, crime and woe! Mother, why do yon weep to -day? Weep that Jamie has sunk so low, ,, You who sent,him out of your way! Pray you, mother, to be forgiven! ' And for your boy, too, pray, oh,"pray! For he is out of the way to heaven— Yes, he is surely out of the way! Delicate children ! What a source of anxiety they are ! The parents wish them hearty and strong, but they keep thin and pale.
