Thoughts on @Home."


CONSTITUTIONS BY members Of Tho Washington
Herald Optimist Club
God bless our homes. If we are right
there we are all right. II we are wrong
there we are ali wrong. Homel it Is a
charmed word. Through that one syllable
thrill untold melody. the laughter OF chill
dren. the sound Of well-known footsteps,
and the voices OF undying affection.
Home, I hear in that word the ripple OF
meadow brooks in which knee-deep we
waded, the lowing OF cattle coming from
the pasture. the sharp hiss OF the scythe
amid the thick grass. the creaking OF the
hay-rack where we trampled down the
road. Home. I see IN that word the
suggestion OF a boyhood and girlhood
days. and the shadow Of tender sorrows
and the reflection of ten thousand fond
memories. Home. when I see that word
In book or newspaper. the word seems
to rise and sparkle and weep and whisper
and thunder and pray. II wrinkles like a
star. It springs up like a fountain. II
trills like a song. II leaps like a fame.
II glows like q sunset. It sings like an
angel; and IL some photographer, urged
on b. a spirit from beneath should seek
TO cast forth that word from the Ian
guage. the children would come forth and
cover II up with garlands OF Wild flowers.
and the wealthy would come forth 10 hide
it under their diamonds and pearls. and
kings would hide It under their crowns.
and after Herod had hunted its life from
Bethlehem 20 Egypt and utterly given up
the search, some bright warm day IL
would fash from among the gems and
breath from among the flowers, and toss
from among the cOronets and the world
would read II bright and fair and beau
tiful and resonant as before. Home.

US; 10 be kind when II does not cost Us
anything But when kind acts stand FOR
something-when they are bestowed upon
those whose life IS less fortunate than
ours our conduct IS thrice blest. Above
all places. kindness IN the home should
be a daily thought. the influence and mo-
tive Of our lives. BE thoughtful toward
all the family, especially 10 the older
