1 saw home today where Happiness
has reigned for years
A pleasant sight, bit of heav'n lent to
tho world Content
Lives there and Peace and Love and
Hope and Faith; no fears
Intrude, and Strife is there a strang-
er; so engaged, so bent
Is each upon some loving task that
should lean Want look in
Upon the group, he could not stop;
Ambition visits there once in a
while,
Success comes, too, to bear reward or
prize for merit; Vice and Sin
Know not the way unto this dwelling
place of Purity and Truth; a
smile
Is on each face, the rosy hue of health
blooms rich in cheeks that glow,
And music, lifting in the laughter, OF
in the vibrant evening hour.
l sought the secret and I saw the
mother as she gave her days
Ard nights oftimes to ministring;
found a father, give his power
OF manhood's energy in glad support
for just his home; young men
l saw, proud Of their fathers strength,
and in hundred ways
Thoughtful and tender of the mother,
too, sweet daughters then
l found bound up in rev'rent love to
her-and little children fair,
Led by the hand along this path OF
light, of normal living in the
right;
The secret of this happy home | know
is this Each sacrifices some
Small right or pleasure for the other
ones; because they give
Much to each other in unselfish
love they learn best how to-
