The Home A Mission Field<br />

Let not parents <strong>for</strong>get <strong>the</strong> great mission field<br />

that lies be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> home. In <strong>the</strong> children<br />

committed to her every mo<strong>the</strong>r has a sacred charge<br />

from God. "Take this son, this daughter," God<br />

says, "and train it <strong>for</strong> Me. Give it a character<br />

polished after <strong>the</strong> similitude of a palace, that it may<br />

shine in <strong>the</strong> courts of <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>for</strong>ever." The light<br />

and glory that shine from <strong>the</strong> throne of God rest<br />

upon <strong>the</strong> faithful mo<strong>the</strong>r as she tries to educate her<br />

children to resist <strong>the</strong> influence of evil.<br />
