“The very best school for voice culture is the home. Study in every way not to annoy, but to cultivate a soft voice, distinct and plain. Thus mothers may become teachers in the home. Mothers should themselves act like Christ, speaking tender, loving words in the home. Then opposite their names in the book of heaven will be written, ‘Ye are laborers together with God.’ .... Avoid everything that will be rasping to your children.”—P.C. September 24, 1898. PH140 17.2
