We are called to be " at home " with God. The Lord Jesus Christ, when about to go back to heaven, said to Mary, " Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." We ought to be as much " at home " in spirit there as He. Was it not with joy, with confidence, that Jesus said He was going to the presence of His Father?... And was it not, in a certain sense, with the feeling of going home?... This is the church's place; we are called to be " at home " with our God and Father-to the blessedness of His house. No matter what the world may be, we should be there at home-happy home! as truly there in spirit, and as happy there as Christ.
