Rensselaer Republican, Volume 28, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 December 1896 — Let Home Stand First. [ARTICLE]

Let Home Stand First.

Let home stand first. No matter how high your :uuhition T 'nomatter bow 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 garnished, that its silver is brilliant, 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? Wliat 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. ■ ! ■ - -
