“The greatest danger to American society is that we are rapidly becoming a nation of isolated individuals, without any family ties or affections. A large number have broken away from the old homestead, and live away from home in hotels and boarding houses; they are daily losing the habits, virtues and manners of home, without which the family cannot be sustained, and if the family is destroyed, the society, the nation is carried away in its fall. God made the family the type and basis of society; such is the family, such will be society.”
