Homeward Bound

‘’ A poor beast that is going homeward goeth cheerfnlly.” See how the horse pricks up his ears and quickens his pace when you turn his head to his stable. The proverb saith that even the dull ass doth the same. Much more then should intelligent Christian men feel the attractions of their heavenly home. Courage, brothers and sisters; we, too, are homeward bound. Every hour brings us nearer to the many mansions. We are not going from home, or we might hang our heads: our way is towards the Father’s house on high, therefore let us rejoice at every step we take.
