What I Want My Child to Remember about Home That his father and mother loved each other. That the home was a happy one because we all worked to keep it so. That each child was given every possible opportunity to develop his own personality. That each child’s personal possessions were inviolable, if kept in the place allotted to them. That the books in the house were to be read if handled rightly, and there were no shelves under lock and key because of questionable contents. That truth abode there; no earnest questioner, however young, was put off with subterfuge or evasion. That we believed in hospitality, in spite of any extra labor involved, and that our friends loved to come to us. That Sunday was the happiest and the most restful day in the week, and that we all looked forward to its coming because it was the day we always spent together with Father in the midst. That though Father and Mother worked hard and long at their respective jobs, they found time every day to keep informed on current events, to read good books, to think things through to logical conclusions, and to pray.
