A Good Foundation

By Mrs. O. A. Olsen

MRS. O. A. OLSEN

Of all the work a mother has to do in this world, the most important is the training of her children. This she cannot do in her own strength. She needs heavenly wisdom. She must read God's Word, and ask the Lord to teach her just what to do in every time of need. She must seek his counsel. The Lord has promised to hear, and to give wisdom to every one who asks him in faith. I am so glad we can take everything to him in prayer. If the mother neglects to read God's Word, and to seek him in earnest prayer, the training of her children will be a failure.

She should not neglect to have family worship. No matter how busy she is, she should not fail to gather her little ones around her, and read God's Word and pray with them. Thereby she will gain strength, and her efforts in doing what is right will be blessed of the Lord.
