Religion will cease to be the pervading element in the house in which the inmates fail thus to present themselves together at the throne of grace. It is impossible to over-estimate the blessings which may be expected from such family solemnities. They sweetly sanctify the home, and are a holy picture of celestial oneness. Love will then cement the hearts which together seek a heavenly Father’s face — together vow obedience to His will — together consecrate their every faculty to His service — together bless Him for their common hope — together adore Him for the gift of Jesus, and all the preciousness of the Gospel-revelation.
