Moderators Salyan Posted March 8, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2021 "To quote from a recent writer from the Old Country on life in Western Canada: "For a man in the West marriage does not mean what it does among the well-to-do at home, giving up a comfortable bachelor lodgings for a life of house-owning and smart dinners; it means leaving a ghastly loneliness for companionship and help, and squalor for decent comfort. For a woman in this new land the sphere of the home does not mean polishing scratches on silver or decorating the dining room with masses of flowers, but feeding and clothing and cheering husband and children, and being kind to poor bachelors round about who need kindness badly. Woman is at her old task as the civilizer, not as the over-civilizer." -Â Alberta, Past & Present, 1924 1Timothy115, Alan and Jim_Alaska 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1Timothy115 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2021 “A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will come out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping, we are becoming.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson Jim_Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
