		Chapter 6 The Dressing of the Children
		IN the dressing of her children, the effects of the blessed hope will be seen. The sister-wife and mother will no more accept the popular standing in the outward adorning of her children, than in the formation of her hope. She will regulate this like her own attire, by the maxims of the high calling. She will not be anxious that her little ones shall appear in full feather as exponents of the newest fashion. She will appreciate a due attention to health and cleanliness in their attire, but she will teach them, as she has come to be instructed herself, that the vanities and follies attendant upon gay dressing are forms of the evil which everywhere prevails; and that though beautiful and attractive to the youthful eye, they are to be eschewed as something calculated to engender forgetfulness of God and the coming of Christ for which we are all preparing. Sis. J. Roberts The mother who in the quietude of home devotes herself to the wise training of her children, performs a part which, for its far-reaching effect cannot be exceeded in importance. The word will call for many an inward battle between inclination and duty, and will cause many a headache and even heartache. Let us, however, go forward undaunted by difficulties, knowing that we have the strength of God's authority and His encouragement behind us.
