Motherhood
is the most important job or calling a woman can have in this
life. The Homemaking Cottage features articles and inspiration for all mothers.
"The moment the crown of motherhood falls on the brow of
a young wife, God gives her a new interest in the welfare of the home and the
good of society. She must be more than the child of pleasure or the
devotee of fashion. Her work is grandly constructive. A helpless and ignorant
babe lies smiling in her arms. God has trusted her with a child, and it is her
privilege to help that child develop the most precious thing a man or woman can
possess on earth, and that is a good character. Moth may devour our finest
garments, fire may consume and floods destroy our fairest homes, rust may gather
on our silver and tarnish our gold, but there is an asbestos that no fire can
destroy, a treasure which shall be richer for its service and better for its
use, and that is a good character."
-Francis E.W. Harper
