Much is said and written of religion in the home, and yet it may be that there is not always a clear conception of the meaning of the term. It is sometimes supposed that the requirement is fully met when family devotions are regularly maintained. This is of vital importance. Household religion certainly implies the daily family worship. I cannot think that any home realizes the true ideal, or can have Heaven’s richest benedictions upon it, in which this is omitted or neglected. God blesses and shelters the household in which He is honoured. Prayer weaves a roof of love over the home, and builds walls of protection about it.
