Making Home Happy and Making Home Peaceful, by Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

By Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

WE call the attention of the readers of the REVIEW to those two important little books, which have done much in times past to make home happy and peaceful.

Many homes have been wrecked because of the fact that fathers and mothers were not really acquainted with their children. They seem to have forgotten that they were once young. They have unconsciously become harsh, unreasonable, and unsympathetic with their children, and thus fail to make their home attractive,—an abode of love and refinement. The parents forget that the Lord has implanted in the hearts of the children a great love for recreation and beauty. The sad result is seen in thousands of broken and unhappy homes, a multitude of young people lost to the church, and sent wandering in the dark highways of death.

Feeling this fact deeply, the author has tried to point out a better way in the little story, “Making Home Happy,” much of which is taken directly from life. The excellent sale of the book in the past testifies to the fact that it meets a long-felt want.

But there are two sides to every question, and the book “Making Home Peaceful,” a sequel to the other book “Making Home Happy,” was written to emphasize the other side. Having seen by experience that some easily influenced and overindulgent parents needed caution on the other side of the question, and that their children were often allowed to take liberties, and to be rude and disrespectful toward their elders, the author became deeply impressed to add to the first book the second, “Making Home Peaceful,” that both parents and children might see and understand their duty toward each other, and that the hearts of the parents might be turned toward the hearts of the children.

Both books are designed to make brighter and more peaceful homes, and to lead the reader toward that immortal home which shall be quietness and peace forever. Either book will be found very helpful to both old and young, but it will be better if the two are read close together, reading “Making Home Happy” first.

Prices: “Making Home Happy,” paper cover, 25 cents; cloth bound, 50 cents. “Making Home Peaceful,” 75 cents, all post-paid.
