Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of American Life In America, where there is such a mixture Of all nationalities, we need not be surprised to find that the home life is esteemed by some, while it is held in contempt by others. The Englishman carries in his heart wherever he goes the sacredness Of his home, while the Frenchman is apt to take with him nothing more sacred than a house. In our American life, however, the home is the foundation of the church and the state. As the homes are pure, the churches will be prosperous, and the state permanent. The fourth verse of the 112th Psalm gives us the foundation principle of home happiness. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness. Everything depends upon upright ness Of purpose, thought, character, and that implies right relation between husband and wife, parent and child, brother and sister, master and servant. In proportion as this right relation exists, the home is full of light; when wrong relation exists, it is certain to be full of darkness.
