Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hearth and Home Essays There is a quality in the home atmosphere on Friday night which it would puzzle a scientist to define. Just what it is, whether it comes from the surrounding objects themselves, or whether it is only a reflection of the spirit of the inmates, there is no way of telling. Certain it is, though the house gets its regular overhauling and cleaning on every day of the week, at no time are the zest and purpose of the broom and duster so apparent as on the eve that ushers in the Sabbath. The candles have a softer glow and a brighter sparkle as they give back the light from mirror and woodwork. The cloth on the table would challenge the light overhead to reveal an untidy spot or careless crease. The very clock on the mantle ticks gently and sleepily, as who should say: "Rest, ye tired of earth; the week´s work is over, and even I - tireless Time - find the scythe heavy and the labor dragging." Happy they who, when they leave the busy world of strife and turmoil behind them, cross the threshold of a Sabbath-keeping household.
