whistling a tune,
are persons that need not be feared, they are kind-hearted and with few
exceptions possess a loving disposition. Very few good musicians become
criminals.
3. Parents that cultivate a love among then children will find that the
same feeling will soon be manifested in their children's disposition.
Sunshine in the hearts of the parents will blossom in the lives of the
children. The parent who continually cherishes a feeling of dislike and
rebellion in his soul, cultivating moral hatred against his fellow-man,
will soon find the same things manifested by his son. As the son resembles
his father in looks so he will to a certain extent resemble him in
character. Love in the heart of the parent will beget kindness and
affection in the heart of a child. Continuous scolding and fretting in the
home will soon make love a stranger. {119}

4. If you desire to cultivate love, create harmony in all your feelings and
faculties. Remember that all that is pure, holy and virtuous in love flows
from the deepest fountain of the human soul. Poison the fountain and you
change virtue to vice, and happiness to misery.
5. Love strengthens health, and disappointment cultivates disease. A person
in love will invariably enjoy the best of health. Ninety-nine per cent. of
our strong constitutioned men, now in physical ruin, have wrecked
themselves on the breakers of an unnatural love. Nothing but right love and
a right marriage will restore them to health.
6. All men feel much better for going a courting, providing they court
purely. Nothing tears the life out of man more than lust, vulgar thoughts
and immoral conduct. The libertine or harlot has changed love, God's purest
gift to man, into lust. They cannot acquire love in its purity again, the
sacred flame has vanished forever. Love is pure, and cannot be found in the
heart of a seducer.
7. A woman is never so bright and full of health as when deeply in love.
Many sickly and frail women are snatched from the clutches of some deadly
disease and restored to health by falling in love.
8. It is a long established fact that married persons are healthier than
unmarried persons; thus it proves that health and happiness belong to the
home. Health depends upon mind. Love places the mind into a delightful
state and quickens every human function, makes the blood circulate and
weaves threads of joy into cables of domestic love.
