Home happiness depends on the
wife, J.R. Miller. Home is a true wife's
kingdom. There, first of all places, she
must be strong and Christly. She may touch life outside in
many ways, if she can do it without slighting the duties that are
hers within her own doors. But if any calls for her service
must are declined, They should not be the duties of her home. These are hers alone, and not
another's. Very largely does the wife hold
in her hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness and the highest
good of the hearts that nestle in the home. The best husband,
the truest, the noblest, the gentlest, the richest-hearted,
cannot make his home happy if his wife is not, in every reasonable
sense, a helpmate to him. In the last analysis, home happiness
depends on the wife. Her spirit gives the home its
atmosphere. Her hands fashion its beauty.
Her heart makes its love. And the end is so worthy, so
noble, so divine, that no wife should consider any price too
great to pay. to be the light, the joy, the
blessing, the inspiration of her home. The woman who makes
a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity,
is doing something better than anything else her hands could
find to do beneath the skies.
