We talked that day about erecting a family altar, and I want to tell you that was the first thing that I did in the Lord's strength, and it has become the most blessed place to me of any on earth. Oh, the comfort there is in taking the family and going to the Lord with all our trials and troubles! I tell you, Bro. G., although that family altar is erected in a poor man's house, it is gilded all over with the glory of God."- C. D. B.

Oh, that we maybe more humble followers of Him who even was " heard for His piety"!- B.C.G]
