OverviewExcerpt from Hearth and Home Essays In how many families, but for the regular weekly Sabbath reunion, would the members drift apart, each becoming unconsciously alienated from the other, or, at least, losing the strong interest in and regard for one another's well-being which are the whole charm of family life. The Sabbath visit to the old home should never be omitted by children and grandchildren, while the old father and mother remain to bless with their impartial love and gentle, patient advice and admonition. Father, Mother - how little we realize what the words mean, till we ourselves have merged our lives, our individualities, our very souls, into those of our children. And only when one by one, here and there, we note a familiar old presence gone, taken from our midst by the Great Reaper, and miss the quaint banter and homely wit, do we quicken our steps to the roof-tree under which dwell our pre cions beloved, whose pathways we would make smooth, whose days we would lengthen, in exact proportion as in the careless days of youth we overlooked, underestimated, and often neglected. An added glory the Sabbath eve with its restful n'ess and sparkle imparts to the white hair of age, and it falls with hopeful, regenerate purpose on the children who join honor of parents to, honor of the Sabbath, making both synonymous with pleas ant duty and joyous, unquestioning obedience.
