And we look, therefore, to you mothers to bring into the world that Christian ideal of marriage which at present is practically shut up between the covers of our Bibles, that the man is to love the woman, the husband the wife, "as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it"; not our ideal of the self-sacrificing woman our patient Griseldas and Enids and all the rest of it but the self-sacrificing man, who is but poorly represented in our literature at all, the man who loves the woman and gives himself for her, holding all the strongest forces and passions of his nature for her good, to crown her with perfect wifehood and perfect motherhood.

She has only this one grown-up of her very own; but she makes it her business to adopt and reform all the incorrigible old folk the other children have despaired of. It is all done by kindness. "She is EVER patient. And just."
