Dear NJ. B. Friends:

sent me with the thought that it might
furnish a text for little sermonette.
The pathetic element in the lines is so evil
dent, one feels that any argument or diff
ferent opinion, il expressed, would be
jar on the real sentiment of the piece; but
let US lookat both sides OF the subject.
Living means, in one sense, advancing
in years. Suppose the little fellow had
always remained just boy, while all the
other members of the family had grown
older with the flight OF time, that
wouldn't have done at all, would it, be-
cause it is not naturaIf Growth, develop
ment is q law OF being.
The poet may sing:
sstay, stay at home. my heart, and rest:
Housekeeping hearts are happiest.
Der all tina, fiutter their wings and fly,
hawk is lowering in the sky,
To stay at home is best,
but there is scarcely a neighborhood SO re-
mote from the centres of activity but that
it furnishes its contribution Of young
blood and brain and muscle to help on the
worlds work in larger spheres than those
of the home surroundings.
Each one OF Us can call to mind dozens
OF homes from which the young folks
have gone, not because home is not and
ever will be dear to them, but because that
law OF development 10 tbs root from which
spring ambition and 9 desire TO see what
can be accomplished by their svp efforts.
In the quiet Of tbe passing years the
home peopis live two Lives, They saass. ..
u were, the struggles, the successes, the
losses and the gains, the pleasures and the
hopes OF the delegates" that have gone
out from their family circle; and they have
a storehouse OF memory, in which the
treasury is always full.
The house is still peopled with the
| babyhood and the childhood lite that
made 1t 90 CHEEKY and SO bright. Those
years may seem to have passed too soon
away, but they are yours still, my friend,
while memory lasts.
