Excerpt from The Home Life, in the Light of Its Divine Idea My aim has been, as my readers will discover, to study the closest relations, and the most sacred duties of life, in the light of Him whose Incarna tion reveals the principle of their closeness and sacredness. In this, and in all regions of thought, I desire increasingly to get as near to this Life as possible; being convinced that the root of the true Eirenicon in home life, church life, and state life, lies here. If by these pages'i can help any to understand even a little more clearly, and to feel even a little more deeply, how sacred these relationships and duties are in the Lord, it will be a source of great thankfulness to me. The re newal of homes must precede all other renewals in wider spheres, for which we pray. May God hasten it in our times!
