The Missing Home-Maker

By Rollin A. Sawyer, D. D.

The salvation of a boy is a home that to him is heaven. And it is only a good woman who can be the saving angel to child or man. When a boy at school or in business thinks of “going home” as the end of all longings, wearings, waitings, plans, and hopes, he knows the delights of the saved. And his paradise is made for him by a mother who is worth the name, with possibly sisters of equal merit. Father and brothers are simply comfortable and convenient accessories. When we say that “the sphere of woman is the home,” we mean just this angelic ministry to human life. The strangest delusion of our American women is that they can do more for their men and their country by being abroad and keeping before the public.—Rollin A. Sawyer, D. D.
