"We must make it home; as beautiful and complete as we can afford. One real home always makes others, I am sure of that! WE MUST MAKE IT HOME AS BEAUTIFUL AND COMPLETE AS WE CAN AFFORD ONE REAL HOME ALWAYS MAKES OTHERS I AM SURE OF THAT
ody and mind and soul; to conquer our weaknesses, to train our gifts, to harness our powers to some wished-for end, and then _pull_, with all our might. Can't my girls be fine women, fit for New York or Washington, London or Paris, because their young days were passed in Beulah? Can't my boys be anything that their brains and courage fit them for, whether they make their own associations or have them made for them? Father would never have flung the burden on your shoulders, Gilbert, but he is no longer here. You can't have the help of Yale or Harvard or Bowdoin to make a man of you, my son,--you will have to fight your own battles and win your own spurs." "Oh! mother, but you're splendid!" cried Nancy, the quick tears in her eyes. "Brace up, old Gilly, and show what the Careys can do without 'advantages.' Brace up, Kitty and Julia! We three will make Beulah Academy ring next year!" "And I don't want you to look upon Beulah as a place of hiding while adversity lasts," said Mother Carey. A FAMILY IS TO KEEP WELL AND STRONG AND GOOD IN BODY AND MIND AND SOUL TO CONQUER OUR WEAKNESSES TO TRAIN OUR GIFTS TO HARNESS OUR POWERS TO SOME WISHED FOR END AND THEN PULL WITH ALL OUR MIGHT CAN'T MY GIRLS BE FINE WOMEN FIT FOR NEW YORK OR WASHINGTON OR LONDON OR PARIS BECAUSE THEIR YOUNG DAYS WERE PAST IN BEULAH CAN'T MY BOYS BE ANYTHING THAT THEIR BRAINS AND COURAGE FIT THEM FOR WHETHER THEY MAKE THEIR OWN ASSOCIATIONS OR HAVE THEM MADE FOR THEM FATHER WOULD NEVER HAVE FLUNG THE BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDERS GILBERT BUT HE IS NO LONGER HERE YOU CAN'T HAVE THE HELP OF YALE OR HARVARD OR ROWDON TO MAKE A MAN OF YOU MY SON YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT YOUR OWN BATTLES AND WIN YOUR OWN SPURS OH MOTHER BUT YOU'RE SO SPLENDID CRIED NANCY THE QUICK TEARS IN HER EYES BRACE UP OLD GILLY AND SHOW WHAT THE CAREYS CAN DO WITHOUT ADVANTAGES BRACE UP KITTY AND JULIA WE THREE CAN MAKE BEULAH ACADEMY RING NEXT YEAR AND I DON'T WANT TO LOOK UPON BEULAH AS A PLACE OF HIDING MY ADVERSITY LAST SAID MOTHER CAREY
