Let Home Stand First.

Lot home stand first. No matter how high your ambition, no matter how far your talents or your Influence may reach, before everything else build up a true home! Be not its slave; be Its minister. Let It not be enough that It is swept and gurnlshed, that its sliver Is brilliant, that Its food Is delicious, but feed the love In It. Then from Its walls shall come forth the true woman and the true man. What honor can be greater than to find such a home? What dignity higher than to reign Its honored mistress? What Is the ability to speak from a public platform, or the wisdom that can command a seat on the judge’s bench, compared to that which can insure and preside over a. true home? To be the guiding star, the ruling spirit In such a home Is higher than to rule an empire.
