Homes are not made by bricks nor stores by stones. , Some people never see the ideal of things. I A little hut on the hillside, without an organ or any stained glass windows, but with a few neighbors with hymns in their hearts, may be a cathedral of worship. Some people never see the sun in a dewdrop. Little ideas, little1 dreams, little prejudices,' sometimes called patriotisms, are only little bags of self-conceit This vast structure, the dream of a country boy, great in dimensions and strength, is much more than a mart of trade. It is the whole thing anticipated. It expresses the fullness of an idea that L is being developed, and its household and house keepers spend happy days in it doing something more than "a day's work."
