The Adventist Home
Rock and be broken, to die to self that Jesus may make them vessels
unto honor
A lack of courtesy, a moment of petulance, a single rough, thought-
less word, will mar your reputation, and may close the door to hearts
so that you can never reach them
Christianity in the Home Shines Abroad—The effort to make
the home what it should be—a symbol of the home in heaven—
prepares us for work in a larger sphere. The education received by
showing a tender regard for each other enables us to know how to
reach hearts that need to be taught the principles of true religion. The
church needs all the cultivated spiritual force which can be obtained,
that all, and especially the younger members of the Lord’s family,
may be carefully guarded. The truth lived at home makes itself felt in
[39]
disinterested labor abroad. He who lives Christianity in the home will
be a bright and shining light everywhere
