The Domestic Circle
“Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.”—Mark 5:19.
There are a great many people longing for some grand sphere in which to serve God. They admire Luther at the Diet of Worms, and only wish that they had some such great opportunity in which to display their Christian prowess. They admire Paul making Felix tremble, and they only wish that they had some such grand occasion in which to preach righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come; all they want is only an opportunity to exhibit their Christian heroism. Now the evangelist comes to us, and he practically says: “I will show you a place where you can exhibit all that is grand, and beautiful, and glorious in Christian character, and that is the domestic circle.”
