HARMONY AT HOME.

By Selected

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 are not to 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, and infirmity we feel irritable, let us keep a very close watch over ourselves.

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

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

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

9. Speak kindly to dependents and servants about the house, and praise them when you can.

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

11. Try for that "soft answer" that turneth away wrath.—Selected.
