If it be left empty for long it becomes the prey of despair and every gloomy spirit. The ownership of a house is an enrichment of life. It completes one's interests and brings security and comfort. Every man should own his house. Otherwise he is but one who exists on the suffer- ance of a landlord. A borrowed house is only next in indecency to borrowed clothes. The time will come, maybe, when we shall as little think of the one as we do now of the other. How is it possible to base a home upon a... three years' lease ^ A home needs founda- tions, deep and secure, which only time and some element of property in the building can give it. The walls in which the experiences of life come to us are dear and precious, and we would not easily part from them. Who does not pass with regret the scenes of his childhood, the home in which he was brought up, and grudge them to the possession of strangers S* It is only fitting that what is so valuable should be secured as personal property. We live more profoundly in our own house, we are more ourselves.
