Honoring Mothers.

DURING a long and varied life, I have had much to do with children, more especially with boys. As a rule, I could predict the future career of a boy by noting his conduct toward his mother. Boys who are dutiful and affectionate toward their mothers, have usually turned out well. Unkind and disobedient lads I have usually found to become bad men. There seems to be the divine blessing resting upon loving and obedient children. It is, I am sorry to say, a very common thing for school lads to ridicule a boy who consults the wishes and obeys the counsels of his mother. It requires great moral courage to resist the effects of ridicule.
