Harmony at Home.

1. We may be quite sure that our will is likely to be crossed during the day, so let us prepare for it.

2. Every person in the house has an evil nature, as well as ourselves, and therefore we must not expect too much.

3. Look upon each member of the family as one for whom Christ died.

4. When inclined to give an angry answer let us lift up the heart in prayer.

5. If from sickness, pain or infirmity, we feel irritable, let us keep a very strict watch over ourselves.

6. Observe when others are suffering, and drop a word of kindness.

7. Watch for little opportunities of pleasing, and put little annoyance out of the way.

8. Take a cheerful view of everything, and encourage hope.

9. Speak kindly to dependants and servants, and praise them when you can.

10. In all little pleasures which may occur put self last.

11. Try for the soft answer that turneth away wrath.
