Did you ever stand at the foot of a great lighthouse at night? Through brilliant lenses splendid floods of light were poured out to sea; but not one tiny gleam of radiance did that great lamp pour on the bit of sand close around the base of its tower. Do not be like light houses in this regard. Wherever else, far away or near, you pour the beams of your Christian life; be sure you brighten the space close about you in your own home. Let the light of gentleness, forbearance, kindness, unselfishness, and thoughtful ministry fall on the life next to yours, on your weary mother, your burdened father, your tempted brother; upon the children in your family, on the guests who drop in, on servants who help in domestic duties. Carry Christ home and serve him best there.
