Home an Object Lesson—God would have our families symbols of the family in heaven. Let parents and children bear this in mind every day, relating themselves to one another as members of the family of God. Then their lives will be of such a character as to give to the world an object lesson of what families who love God and keep His commandments may be. Christ will be glorified; His peace and grace and love will pervade the family circle like a precious perfume.—The Review and Herald, November 17, 1896. (The Adventist Home, 17.) {1MCP 175.2}

Hjemmet som forbillede. - Gud vil have at vore familier symboliserer familien i himlen. Lad forældre og børn have dette i sinde hver dag, selv fortælle det til hinanden som medlemmer i Guds familie. Så vi deres liv være af en karakter, der giver verden et forbillede på de familier, som elsker Gud og holder Hans bud. Kristus vil blive forherliget; Hans fred og nåde og kærlighed vil gennemsyre familiekredsen som en kostbar parfume. - RH, 17. nov., 1896. (AH 17.)
