ET: When thou sittest in thine house: Meditations on home life.

A volume of fifty-eight meditations, selected from six years of De Heraut and devoted to the theme of family life. The title is borrowed from Deuteronomy 6:7 (see the second meditation). The edition was intended as a gift for newlyweds. The foreword points briefly to the esteem in which Jews and Christians hold family life and then focuses in particular on the significance of family life among Calvinists in Switzerland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and America.

Some of the headings of the devotions were slightly changed for this volume. All the meditations were also given a suitable catchword in brackets. The original sequence was also changed and the numbering adapted. The meditations were reprinted from De Heraut, no. 719, October 4, 1891 (LVII)–no. 981, October 11, 1896 (IX), where they had generally been published individually but also occasionally in short consecutive series.
