A Paying Harvest.

HERE is a sermon in a nutshell. It is the testimony of a faithful wife and mother, and speaks volumes to thousands: “I devoted myself to the charge of my nursery; I attended in person to the physical and mental needs of my young children. The work was laborious, but it has repaid me. They are healthy, brave, honest, and frank; they are cursed with none of the small vices contracted by intercourse with persons of inferior intelligence, and they are self-sustaining at an early period. Neither pert nor precocious, they ripen early to judgment and common sense, and I believe that the careful tillage of my own little field has produced a harvest worth the labor.” Careful training will tell on ages, tell for God.—Conference Worker.
