The Bible in the Home

It is told of the mother of a family whose husband was an unbeliever and openly jested at religion that she nevertheless succeeded in bringing all her children up in the fear of the Lord.

When she was asked how she managed this, she said: "Because to the authority of a father I did not oppose the authority of a mother, but that of God. From their earliest years, my children have always seen the Bible on my table. This Holy Book has constituted the whole of their religious instruction. I was silent that I might allow it to speak. Did they propose a question, did they commit any fault, did they perform any good action--I opened the Bible, and the Bible answered, reproved, or encouraged them. The constant reading of the Scriptures alone has wrought the prodigy which surprises you."

Mom Gives 150%

No one deserves a special day all to herself more than today's Mom. A cartoon showed a psychologist talking to his patient: "Let's see," he said, "You spend 50 percent of your energy on your job, 50 percent on your husband, and 50 percent on your children. I think I see your problem."

A Teacher and His Students

A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: "My full name has six letters. The first one is m. I pick up things. What am I?" When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word "Mother."

Mother

Quarreling between her two sons prompted the mother to rush to the kitchen. Eight-year-old Bobby and four-year-old Jackie were having a tug of war with the cookie jar. Only one cookie remained in the jar, and each boy thought it was his. Taking the cookie jar from the two youngsters, their mother calmly announced. "I'll solve the problem for you. I'll eat the last cookie myself." The boys looked up at their mother in unbelief. Then the four-year-old, with a mischievous grin on his face, said, "Oh, no, you won't, Mom. Whoever heard of a selfish mother?"

M + O + M = LOVE

Mother

A teacher put this question to little John in the arithmetic class. "John, suppose your mother made a peach pie, and there were 10 of you at the table... your mother and father and eight children... how much of the pie would you get?"

"A ninth, Ma'am," was the prompt answer. "No, John. Now pay attention," said the teacher. "There are 10 of you. Ten, remember. Don't you know your fractions?" "Yes, Ma'am," was the swift replay of little John, "I know my fractions, but I know my mother, too. She'd say that she didn't want any pie."

Mothers, your unselfishness makes an impression on the little ones.

Little Johnny And His Mother

Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother gently rubbed cold cream on her face.

"Why are you rubbing cold cream on your face, Mommy?" he asked.

"To make myself beautiful," said his mother.

A few minutes later, she began removing the cream with a tissue.

"What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?"
