31. Don't Wake the Children

Let your children sleep. Do not drag them from their beds in the

darkness of night. Do not compel them to associate all that is tiresome,

irksome and dreadful with cultivating the soil. Treat your children with

infinite kindness--treat them as equals. There is no happiness in a home

not filled with love. When the husband hates his wife--where the wife

hates the husband; where the children hate their parents and each

other--there is a hell upon earth.
