HOME IS A PLACE OF REST.

1t must have been the thonght Of
rest at home in the mind of the
prophet when be said, ''Come, let rs
60 home After we have spent a
day OF anxious toll, in our stores,
facing the storms of opposition, or on
our farms striving with all the du-
ties that are incumbent upon US, in
our daily avocations, tired, busy, de-
pressed in spirit, how sweet is the
rest at home!
One OF the apostles seemed to
know something of the cares and
anxiety to which the human heart
was prone, and he exhorted US to
stake no thought of tomorrow" But
"come unto me all ye that are weary
and heavy laden and I will give you
rest" The sweetest rest this side of
heaven is the rest at home, where all
OF our joys aud affections centre.
3. HOME IS A PLACE OF LOVING VEL
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-04-29
COME

battle of life may seem; if men who
profess to be friends turn their backs
upon us; if they hurl the sharp ar
rows of criticism into our hearts; if
there is no place where we can find
welcome and u repose out in the
world of toll; we are sure that there
is one place where loving welcome
always waits-at home. Men have
grown so wicked and so filled with
shame and disgrace that they are
banished from society and are looked
upon as being 'hopeless." No one
welcomes their approach because of
their shame and wickedness, but that
boy never lived who was so lost to re-
spectability that mother could not
see something good in him and give
him a tender welcome at home. The
prodiGal son had gone down into the
depths of shame, lost bis character
and his money and his friends, but
when he turned his wandering foot
steps homeward, there he found a
loving welcome and tender embraces
Also, home is
T. TYPE OF HEAVEN.
To Christian the thought of hea-
ven is a thought of home, and hence,
s'there is no place like home" At
our best we are only strangers and
pilgrims here: "Here we have no
continuing city, but we seek one to
come" Heaven is to be our home.
Death so often knocks at our door
here and make us sad. But in that
mansion, made without hands, eter-
nal in the heavens, there is no death
nor grave.
In conversation with an aged man
on the streets Of a little town he said
to me, "1:m going home" That
morning while: walking down the
road which led 70 his home, the mes
sage cames for him to-: ego home" "
from whence no Neutrality-suspicious..
Jesus said as he. left this earth Il
so to prepare place for you" Let
US so live that we can enter that man
sion.
AsoNG OF HOME.
Some years ago about twenty
thousand people gathered in the old
Castle Garden, New York, to hear
Jennie Lind sing, as no othe.: song
stress ever had sung, the sublime
compositions of Beethoven, Handel,
&C. At length the matchless singer
thought of her home, paused a mo-
ment, and with deep emotions began
to sing "Home, sweet home" The
audience in an instant arose
and caused such an up
roar of applause that it stopped
the music. Tears fell from many an
eye. Home" was the word that
bound as@with a magic spell, twenty
thousand souls. Was it not the
thought of home and its ties that
threw the soul of music into the song
of the old Scotchman?
