Home

What makes a home？Love and sympathy and con-fidence．It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family．The parents take good care of their children，and the children are inter-ested 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 the 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 prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness．Many great persona-ges in the world history had deep affections for their homes．

Your home may be poor and humble，but your duty lies there．You should try to make it cheerful and com-fortable．The greater 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 services to his country if he can do nothing good for his home；for in proportion ashe loves his home，will be love his country．The home is the birthplace of true patriotism．It is the secret of so-cial welfare and national greatness．It is the basis and origin of civilization．
