HAT'S what you are, you and I. We have come to this great city to earn our bread and butter, and the people we loved and who loved us, the people who had kindly thoughts of us, the people who were interested in our hopes, our joys, and our sorrows, are all left behind. And we are facing a new world. Now, how shall we do it? Shall we perform our tasks indifferently, returning home to mope and be unhappy, and refusing to find anything good in life because the dwellers in this new land do not put out the hand of good-fellowship? If that is what we intend doing, you and I, we may as well make up our minds that we will remain strangers forever. There is an old-fashioned song that says, Tis home where the heart is," and you and I must remember that we can carry home in our hearts and find it wherever we are if we will only remember that God is in his Heaven, and that all goes well on earth.
