Christ teaching in the home
Christ is our example: the home is Gods school for his children. What sacred memories are recalled to almost every heart, by that one word home. The most sacred ties of earth are centered there. It is there we receive those lasting impressions, how well we remember the prayers taught us at our Mothers knee, and how often in the struggles of life we have felt the influence of those early impressions. Home: it is there we shape our destiny: it is there our minds are moulded: it is there we first felt the impulse of religious convictions. God would have us know Him in our tender years, it is there, He would have our minds instilled by with those blessed truths: Perhaps the greatest draw back to spiritual advancement to-day, is the lack of spiritual observance in the homes it is a mistaken idea every house should be a house of God, and we should there daily seek His guidance and forgiveness there in he end we may bear that gracious message I have called the by thy name, Thou art mine.
