' •' MYOU« CHILD.** I The bent twig often breaks—and when the TWIG is your child you re ceive into your home suffering and misery to Buch an extei/c that, to you it seems as if you were the only | one bo heavily burdened and—some times punished It is the homes’ responsibility wherein life has begjun to see that the life is not bent and bruised by the world, to see that the TWIG does riot break? and bring sorrow upon the home. The responsibility of the home can be fulfilled by the creation of the righat kind of atmosphere for the child. This falls mainly upon the father and mother who have the pow er to create that which iff|£Me total sphere and quality of tifiPBX the home." ' x j l The things that you briieg into your home the pictues, the books,1 the magazines, all add and go into the making of atmosphere. All things are included in the making. ! of this environmeric. I l However persons, not things, form the most important element in build ii»*g of atmosphere. You are the builder in your home. ‘‘Nothing so educates the child as the humari presence," has always been true>.1 And this is true because there are certain laws that act; such as, sug.. gestion, sympathy, imitation, approv al, and of Interpretation, The child will do what we do more often than he will say what ire say. Arid * knowing) that this is true, what of the ‘‘human presence” in our hornet, ^ today! | There are many families who have -endured agony trying to live for their children. “Kriow it is better to live joyously with your children friuui w live oonsceintiousiy ior your children.” Knowing that the responsibility for your children rests uporf the hopse—-You are at ease in regard to your conduct?? You may be oi the unfortunate souls' whose chil dren can be found with them where. one* .J eber they1 go; what of your oondUct| befoe folk! with whom yo^me in contact* The child learns from the mankind and the worldbut this does not matter nearly so much as that attitude your conduct has construct. ^ od toward God* Here we realize the ultimate—all things and persons. You cause the TWIG to bend in* accordance with your conduct. Con J diirt yoursef rightly toward God and have your child lean toward Him * 1 and-then the twig wll never break,1 tie that birtds one to another' f^Sho* your child that you depend1 ^bK^GtAi, have faith in Him, Him—do this in conversation with^ your child, by praying for him; by' having family worship and grace at the table. | So many of us are like the family' in which the very young daughter, was asked, ‘‘do you have family wor ship?" She replied, “Yes,” and' then to the question, “When?” anj swered, “When company comes.” The child will be turned. Lean . him toward God by following the ex ample of the humble worker who every morning as he left his door to go to his lowly work, said, “In the name of God I go forth to work.” He gave hs child a sense of depend ence on God and & sense of security, as he learfed on God. “Family training cannot rise above family life.”—W.
