Excerpt from The Making of a Home: Its Practical, Religious and Ethical Foundations
The home is the center around which cluster the holiest and highest associations. The idea of home is invested with rare beauty and the thought of home is charged with tenderest emotions. Mother, home, and heaven are the most beautiful words in our wide reaching language, and the three are segments of a sacred circle. The home instinct has planted itself deep into the universal heart and the home idea has wrought itself permanently into the fibers of society. Every worthy young man dreams a few dreams and sees the outlines of a few splendid visions, and one of these is a dream and a vision of a home built upon the foundations of a noble love. The dream stirs his heart to finer issues and fires his soul with loftier ambitions, and life is enriched by the sheer force of the home idea and the dream of home. The character of the homes of a nation shapes the character and the destiny of that nation, for no nation can rise higher than its individual homes.
