But the mother was the creator of a home ; her relation with her children was the most beautif ui I have ever seen ; even a diĆ¼l and coinmon-place man was lifted ui) and enabled to do good work for souls by the atmosphere which this woman created.

From the rosebud or clover leaf which, in spite of her hardwork, she always found time to put by our plates at breakfast, down to the . story she had on hand tobe read in the evening, there was no intermission of her influence.
