"This responsibility [of making a home] rests upon both the parents. There are some fathers who seem to forget that any share of the burden and duty of making the home belong to them. They leave it all to the mothers. They come and go as if they were scarcely more than boarders in their own house, with no active interest in the welfare of their children. They plead the demands of business as the excuse for their neglect. But where is the business that is so important as to justify a man's evasion of the sacred duties to which he owes to his family? There cannot be any other work in this world which a man can do that will excuse him at God's bar for having neglected the care of his own home and the training of his own children. No success in any department of the world's work can positively atone for failure here. No piling up of this world's treasures can compensate a man for the loss of those incomparable jewels, his own children."
