What makes a home? Love and sympathy and confidence.
It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take go
od care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus
all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in t
he world.
A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man. Every civilized person is
a social being.No one should live alone. A man may lead a successful and prosperous life,but prospe
rity alone can by no means insure happiness.
Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes. Your home may be poo
r and humble, but your duty lies there. You should try to make it cheerful and comfortable. The grea
ter the difficulties, the richer will be your reward. A home is more than a family dwelling. It is a
school in which people are trained for citizenship. A man will not render good service to his count
ry if he can do nothing good for his home; for in proportion as he loves his home, will he love his
country. The home is the birthplace of true patriotism. It is the secret of social welfare and natio
nal greatness. It is the basis and origin of civilization.
