The ol' homestead

"Our life is like the dial of a clock..."

"Our life is like the dial of a clock. The short hand is the hand of discipline, the long hand is the hand of mercy. Slowly but surely the hand of discipline must pass, and God speaks at every stroke. But, over and over again, passes the hand of mercy, showering forth sixty-fold of blessings for every stroke of discipline and trial, and both hands are fastened to the one secure pivot -the great unchanging heart of a God of love".

Mothers and children

"Mothers write on the hearts of their children, that which the rough hand of the world cannot rub out".

Ignorance

On Work

"Thank God every morning when you get up, that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle never know.
