The Christian and His Home

If the story of the Cross of Jesus finds an abiding place in any home, that family is indeed blessed and endowed with the power that makes this life of ours really worth living. Such a home will have Christ the Glory of time, the Crown of eternity.

The Treasure of Marriage

Marriage is a sacred rite, in that two people solemnly covenant before God and in His name to live in holy bonds of matrimonial relationship until death parts them. But back of marriage are the privileges and the functionings, the duties and the division of labor that involve a family, that normally requires children.

Home or Career?

Such homes will be founded, with the Savior's help, whenever there is that love and feeling of mutual esteem which is happy to begin wedded life humbly and with self-denial, and to count no interests on earth stronger than those which center about the family hearth.

A Beautiful Story of Family Worship

Never in all his life did he attend a more beautiful family worship. That man and his wife loved their children with a true and a genuine love. They meant to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

There is No Place Like Home

There are three institutions that may properly be called divine: the home, the state, and the church. The home comes first, first in time and first in importance.
