Spirit

Published by Beth

Spirit of the house...

The spirit of the house is in the members of the children by nature, not by teaching, not by any attempt to communicate the same, but because it is the air the children breathe.... Understand that it is the family spirit, the organic life of the house, the silent power of a domestic godliness, working as it does, unconsciously and with sovereign effect -- this it is which forms your children to God.

~Horace Bushnell, Christian Nurture, 1861.
