deficiency grows with him, until, when he reaches the age of maturity, he finds the inclination to evil taking possession of his soul.
"If the punishments I received in my childhood had been just and true, I should be ashamed to look at my face in the mirror." So said a young man who looks at himself from a positive point. Stripping freedom of opinion from the child's soul, and demolishing his morale, is the quickest method a mother uses; but it is her duty to remember that there remains in his soul a residue of goodness — he is not evil through and through. Is not this conduct of his an act meant to win praise instead of blame? It is the result of a personal analysis; yet rarely does he receive praise and encouragement for good conduct. One mother commented on this by saying: "And why should I praise my son's good deeds? Isn't that his duty?"
A child is not expected to be perfect in his behavior, the reason being that we are born without culture or civilization. Moreover, the child must sometimes be rebuked, so that he may understand that an act which pleases him may harm others; thus he comes to value what is around him, and does not rebel or go to excess in vanity. The method of upbringing differs according to the differences among children: encouragement is better than reproach for the shy, sensitive child — and its effect lasts a lifetime. We must analyze the good points in ourselves and bring them out into the light.
The problem of the man in our study comes down to this: his only daughter married against his will and moved away to a distant country, cutting off her ties with him; at last the news of her death reached him, and he felt that life was no longer his — that he was good for nothing.
Each of us desires to love and to be loved; if a person suppresses
this emotion, he feels a deficiency and an emptiness. This is exactly what the girl felt: she did not open herself to love, and though she understands the good qualities within herself, she did not let others feel them.
Understand what is the cause of your falling behind and your failure, and work to correct it; then follow the positive method of discovering and developing the good things in yourself — and you will find ease and happiness!
Kolynos
The father says to his family: "...Ensure your teeth the cleanliness of Kolynos."
Kolynos cleanliness means true cleanliness. Its generous lather reaches every corner and every crevice and between the teeth — where decay usually begins. Yes, Kolynos cleans your teeth completely, preserving their beauty and their sparkling whiteness.
And all the members of the family agree on that,
for they know that there is nothing more attractive than a radiant smile — and smiles reach the utmost degree of their radiance when they use Kolynos.
Nor is there any need to insist that the children clean their teeth with Kolynos, for they love the mint flavor in it. It also gives their little teeth a good start.
And the mother says: "It is extremely economical: just half an inch of Kolynos on the toothbrush cleans the teeth well."
And there is also green Kolynos:
This new paste is greatly favored and sought after because it contains active chlorophyll; it not only makes your teeth gleam white, but refreshes every part of your mouth.
Ensure Kolynos care for your teeth and your breath.
