    The Use of the Home. — For many centuries homes have sheltered and protected parents and their children. In civiHzed lands they have done more than this. The home is the place for growth and development. The change in life to better and better things should be reflected in the home. As old thoughts are outgrown The Well-Kept House of a Laboring Man for new, so the old home should be replenished to reflect the new growth. But the home is more than a shelter. It is the place of peace and rest. It is the place where we renew, daily, our strength and inspiration. Living Together. — Courtesy and forbearance make living together in the family a source of happiness. The happy home is cheer, is peace, is trust, is delight; it is all these for, and all these in, each other. The little festivals of love are kept, but, after all, the best days are the every-days. Longfellow has expressed a similar thought, Home-keeping hearts are happiest.
