This home is dedicated 10 good Will

OF the household were called together
by a power higher than they To It's
decree they are obedient. Every tone
OF the voice, every thought OF their
being, is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy Of their high call
ing as ministers of that grace. They
knew their peace will so unbroken
only for little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope.
They cannot permit so much as one
hour of that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice, The worlds judg-
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome, so they come sim
ply The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth is welcome,
for 1t brings the Joy which these two
would learn. Age ia welcome. for 1t
will teach them tenderness. g
