Rightly considered, there are no duties laid upon us of a more imperative and momentous character than those pertaining to home. It is there the work of education is to be carried forward; not there exclusively, but there primarily. By "education," is not meant teaching children to read and cipher and sew; but the entire training of the household, in all their physical, intellectual, and moral powers, for time and eternity. It is a place of training as well for parents as children.
Henry A. Boardman — The Bible in the Family: or, Hints on Domestic Happiness (Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo and Co., 1851), Lecture VIII, "How to Make a Happy Home," pp. 216-217
