Does this need to be said of persons who are so near, as of necessity to be always in each other's thoughts ? Ah, what is more frequent and obvious, than that familiarity tempts indifference, and that our very primal duties, like the stars which are their emblems, are easily forgotten because they may at any time be seen ? The things most significant are likely to be near at hand, and religion, like philosophy, finds its chief triumphs in opening the meaning of what God has brought to our very ...door. A part of the power of absence from home lies in breaking the spell of familiarity, and leading the absent one to look impartially upon the familiar circle, and upon his own place and conduct there. Many a youth or maiden has returned from a journey or voyage wiser far in sense of home duties than proud of the accom- plishments of travel. True consideration will not need absence to teach this lesson, but from its calm point of BROTHERS AND SISTERS. 113 view the absent one will survey the common spheres of life, and try to live for others as under the eye of God.
