Lost in Her Own Home.

Have you ever been homesick? If you have not, I doubt if you really know what home means. With all the moving throngs we meet everywhere there are thousands who are literally dying of homesickness. The other day I called in a home. Two years before a young bride had started housekeeping; they had spent all they could on their little home and its furnishings. Shortly after her arrival she began to look for company. Bach morning the home was put in order and then in the afternoon she sat waiting for someone to ring the doorbell. She waited for two whole years, and I was the first caller in the home, and when she told about it tears came. All around that home there stood the churches, each church wondering why it was not getting the people. If only they had met this woman on the plane of her need, she would have gone to any church which would have ended her homesickness. —The Christian Herald.
