Foreword

Several months before the death of Dr. J. R. Miller, he made plans for “The Home Beautiful.” The suggestion had been made to him that it would be helpful if he would take the heart of the books “Week Day Religion,” “Practical Religion,” “Home Making,” and “In His Steps,” and make a new voliune on Christian home life. It was his purpose to improve on the suggestion made to him by preparing a nimiber of new chapters. The plan was not to be carried out. God called him from earth before he was able to do more than begin the preparation of the volume.

However, he talked so fully of his plans to his associates, that it has been possible to arrange ‘’The Home Beautiful” in a manner that is felt to be in accordance with the wishes of one whose life was devoted to inspiring men, women and children to the life that alone can make the home really beautiful.
