MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up

This home is dedicated to good will.
1t grew out of love. The two heads
of the household were called together
by power higher than they. To its
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
know their peace viii go 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 it brings tho joy which these two
would learn. Age is welcome, for 1t
will teach them tenderness.-Collier's

Shakespeare calls him: "The fore
