I T WILL soon be time for Spring work to begin—the plowing 
and the planting and later on the harvest and the reaping. 
WHAT ARE YOU SOWING? You would not be so foolish 
as to sow “wild oats” and expect to reap wheat, neither “do men 
gather grapes of thorns or figs thistles.” Yet many are sowing the 
satanic seeds of sin, giving little or no thought to the future reaping. 
Hoping, somehow, to reap Eternal Life. 
WHAT SHALL YOU REAP? “Be not deceived: God is not 
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For 
he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but 
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” 
Gal. 6 : 7, 8. 
NOW —you may choose. THEN —you will have no choice. 
For “The wages of sin is death; but the Gift of God is Eternal 
Life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom. 6 : 23.

Does Discipline Pay? 
Further Discussion on Bringing Up Children 
(The mother who wrote “On Bringing Up 
Children ,” printed in a recent issue, was con- 
fronted by the difficulty of reconciling theory and 
practice. She felt that punishment was humiliat¬ 
ing alike to child and parent, but found her own 
children growing up to be selfish, disorderly and 
thoughtless. Her article has called forth many 
answers expressing the opinions of A. A. 
mothers. The following letter from Mrs. W. B. 
H. gives another angle on the question.) 
“ T HAVE read the article in the Feb. 2d 
issue of your paper, “On Bringing 
Up Children,” with mingled emotions of 
pity and despair. How can anybody fail 
to know that children must be taught 
obedience, as well as all the other things 
they have to learn? 
“Some children learn obedience readily 
and easily, while others find it hard to 
obey, either because they are too much 
occupied with their own concerns to pay 
attention to what is said to them, or, in 
rare cases, because they are too strong-

willed to submit to the wishes of others 
easily. In any ease, they must be taught, 
no matter how disagreeable it may be for 
their parents to perform this duty. Duty 
it is, inseparable from the responsibility 
of having the children at all. 
“As for punishment, I have yet to meet 
the child who will not be better and 
happier and sweeter for just'punishment, 
justly and firmly administered, with 
honest love for the child as a background. 
The parent does not love his child who 
will not take the trouble to correct his 
faults. It is no end of trouble, for each 
child is different from all the others 
and must be treated in accordance 
with his needs, and most carefully studied 
that his needs may be thoroughly 
understood. 
Respect Needed As Well As Love 
After thirteen years of teaching and 
with two youngsters to bring up, one 
naturally obedient, the other just the 
reverse, I have come to a conviction that 
children love to be disciplined, they are 
happier and healthier if they are kept in 
order, and they love and respect the one 
who does keep them in order, and nobody 
else. My children are not models of 
obedience by any means, not yet; but I 
hope they will be fairly good specimens by 
the time I pass them on to their wives and 
husbands. If they are rot, it will not be 
for lack of good hard study and work on 
the part of their mother. This is the 
right sort of love, the kind that is willing 
to take the stony path of tears and de¬ 
privations. The path of indulging chil¬ 
dren, waiting on them hand and foot 
avoiding friction of all kinds, at all times 
leads to selfish children, and sad parents. 
How tragic if your children do not love 
you. They won’t, unless they respect 
you, as well.”— Mrs. W. B. H. 
THE LITTLE GARDEN 
W HEN garden space is limited, it can 
be made to do extra duty by a little 
careful planning. It is possible to grow 
three crops of flowerg in one bed and thus 
have a succession of showy blossoms from 
early spring till fall. 
In one corner of my yard I have a bed of 
Narcissus Poeticus. This is the old- 
fashioned “Pheasant’s Eye,” but by get¬ 
ting the various improvements of it, I 
have varieties that bloom successively, 
covering about six weeks of time. 
Early in the spring, before the narcissus 
begins to bloom, I rake the ground and 
sow shirley poppy seed all over it. It is 
not necessary to cover the seed, and soon 
after the narcissus goes out of bloom, 
these lovely fragile flowers in their deli¬ 
cate colorings begin to blossom and give 
me several more weeks of flowers. Before 
the poppies fade, I sow annual gaillardia

seed over them. It is not necessary to 
prepare the ground, just see that it is 
free from weeds. By the time the poppies 
are gone there will be a lot of thrifty little 
gaillardia plants and these soon begin to 
bloom in a bright corner of my yard and 
give me all the flowers that I want to cut 
until frost. 
There are other combinations that can 
be used. If one prefers „ blue flowers to 
pink and white, cornflowers can be used 
instead of poppies, and once started come 
year after year. After the cornflowers 
have stopped blooming, zinnias may be 
transplanted into the bed. However, I 
think that anyone who tries my com¬ 
bination of Narcissi, poppies and gail- 
lardias will be charmed with the result. —
