The great master secret of all happy home life!

(J. R. Miller, "Secrets of Happy Home Life" 1894)

Christ is the great master secret of all happy home
life! The spirit of Christ alone will enable us to live
together in perfect peace and love. The presence of
Christ in the home is a perpetual blessing . . .
   we cannot be selfish,
   we cannot wrangle and strive,
   we cannot be bitter and unkind,
   we cannot be irritable and unreasonable,
when conscious of the presence of Christ.

If only we can make Christ an abiding guest in our
home, and if we can keep ourselves aware of His
being with us, our household life cannot help but
grow wondrously sweet!
