EFoRr everything religion. Let all love well our
33 good God; let all obse~e the commandments of
God and the Church; let all say their prayen morning
and night, let all put their trust in divine Providence.
In the next place, union: let the members of the household
be affectionate toward one another, having ,only
one heart and one soul, not saying or doing anything
that can pain any one of them. Then again, the spirit
of sacrifice; we must be ready to do witliout something
in order to make another member of the family enjoy
it, we must give up our own personal tastes to conform
to the tastes of others. Finally, pliancy of character;
not to be hard to deal with, touchy, sour, proud; not
to be obstinately rooted in one's ideas, not to grow impatient
about mere nothings, but to have a large mind
and a genenxts heart. The home of a family whose
members possess these qualities is a paradise on earth.

HERE are other things than merely food and clothing,
which make up a good home. Love and kindness
are essential to a happy home; - not the mistaken
lnve and the foolish kindness which give way to evefy
selfish whim of childhood, but the patient, far-seeing
virtues that look beyond the present to the child's future
11fe here and hereafter.
