Blahchard gave an inspiring address, taking for his subject, "How Mothors Should Interpret the Bible to Their Children," and so fulfil one of the first rules of the League of Mothers. The Bible, said the speaker, was of tremendous importance to : the growing child. It was a well of "English undented." No book could touch it for beauty and chasteness, though that was one of the least important of its attributes. Its haunting phrases, which clung to the mind for a lifetimo when learnt in youth, were the .Spiritual rule by which the human being could "measure his conduct and keep the course straight and true amidst: the storms, conflicts, and temptations of life. He suggested that mothers should Start by teaching children of the Divine Master's love, that through that love they might get the true conception of the love of God. Ancient and imperfect people, just as we ourselves were, when trying to discover God without tho New Testament Revelation, got strange ideas and made mistakes about God's character. Modern people must teach children tho gladness, the beauty, the radiancy, and serenity of the Spiritual life, which en couraged them to look far above human imperfection to the brightness and joy of tho Great Father of all. Mr. Blanchard was warmly thanked for his greatly appeciated and helpful address. Levin Memorial Home.
