The very best place to get the
transformed, transfigured life!
(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light" 1911)
We need to remember that
this world is not so much a place
for doing Christian ministries--
as for developing Christly character.
Household life is not primarily a sphere
for cooking, keeping things tidy, sweeping
and dusting, nursing and training
of children, hospitable entertainment
of friends, and the thousand things that
must be done each day. It is a sphere
for transforming women's souls into
radiant Christly beauty!
The shop, the mill, the factory,
the store, the office, the farm--
are not primarily places for making
machines, selling goods, weaving cloths,
building engines, and growing crops.
They are, first of all, places for making
Christly men, and building holy character.
Right in the midst of what
some people call drudgery--
is the very best place to get the
transformed, transfigured life!
