But let us, at the same time, clearly recognize that the remedy must lie deeper than any external agency--must be as deep as life itself, and must be worked out in the silence of our own hearts and of our own homes.

We must restore the law of God, quietly but firmly insisting on the equal moral standard for men and women alike; and we must maintain the sanctity and permanence of the marriage bond as ordained by Christ himself.
I say again I do not think, I simply _know_, by my own experience, that men will rise to any standard which women choose to set them.

You fancy, perhaps, as you have been told so often, that a wife's rule should only be over her husband's house, not over his mind.

Ah no! the true rule is just the reverse of that: a true wife, in her husband's house, is his servant; it is in his heart that she is queen.
