GUARDING THE IDEAL

1 Timothy 5:1-8

Home is love’s abiding-place. It may be palace or cabin or neither. It isn’t brick and timber, though these may hold most fragrant memories. It’s a school to learn in, a resting- place from toil for spirit and body, a shelter from storm, an atmosphere where the heart qualities come to richest fruitage. An ideal? Yes. Let studious restraint be on everything that would mar that ideal, and earnest cultiva­tion be given everything that would make it real.
