FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE

Home of our childhood what words iali
upon the ear with so much music IN their
cadence as those which recall the scenes
OF innocent and happy childhood. now num-
bered with the memories of the past? How
often we hear persons speak or their
homes their minds delight in Dwelling
upon the recollections of Joyous days spent
beneath the parental roof when their young
and happy hearts We're as light ana lree
as the birds that made the woods resouhu
with the melody of their cheerful voices
There is nothing on earth so Deautiui US
the household on which Christian love
forever smiles, and where religion Walks
as a counselor and friend.
The sweetest type of heaven Is nome
Heaven itself Is the home for whose acqui-
sition we are to strive more strongly
