How fortunate it iAt.it this should be so, but how oftL it is true. "Sb. ': we then abandon the effort resSy to maintain a true home—one thajis in touch with God, and thereleady to serve man? No; for is never before we need the ice of a home life empowered > worship of the true God and i by his Word. None of us. re engaged in the determined to maintain such a home in idst of the driving intensity of it day living, speaks too easily s subject. We know the diflfii; we have heavy-heartedly failure; but we also know the less of victory. By God’s we press on. lis dealings with Israel God its to us an example of what ly home may be, and what 1 accomplish for the commuind for the nation. Such a orships the True God (vv. 4,5). [Sis is "the first and great commajdrr.ent” of the law, according to Mr Lord Jesus. (Matt. 22:36,37.) It Ilan important part of the Scripturfrepeated twice daily by all orthodox Jews. In Its context. In Deu6, it is clearly associated wit# the home. It is there that he who is the “one Lord” is to be lOTld which means far more than that he is vaguely recognized or distantly respected. Thig then la thelfoundation for a real home — loving God "with all thy soul and with ali thy might.” 11. Honors God's Word (vv. 18, 19). Loving God and his Word is not a nßtter for theological speculation or for sanctimonious discussion in some dark cloister. Thank God thefci rutian faith is at its best in the Ordinary affairs of life. It finds it* p roper place in the tender relationship of parent and child. Its teafcir.gs are pure, delightful, simplefard entirely appropriate to any occasion, whether one sits or rises, walks or lies down. God's words are'th.’ words to be laid up in the heart and in the soul, to be taught to our children, to be the constant and normal subject of conversation. HI. Testifies to the Community We may not, as did the pious Jew, fasten a little container bearIngEod's word on our doorpost, but weinay make the home itself and theßfe of its inhabitants an effective testimony for God before our neighbor*. It is obvious that the home either speaks for or against God. A foofession of faith in him. an ouijrard reputation for adherence to religious principles which does not vitMy touch our dealings with one ancjher and with the community in wt«i we live—these clearly testify notSor God but against him. On thelpther hand, who can estimate the. value of a sweet and orderly Chrfotian home. Whether it be on * W 3ty c ' ty street ' or on a q u * et comtry lane, it is a light that cannoQe hid. W.

Statesmen clearly see that the hon#e is the unit of society. It was established upon the earth before the [nation, in fact, before the church. No nation cjn ever really projper without homes of the highest type. Governments therefore encourage the building of suitable houtes, plan for pleasant surround- : establish schools, and favor thefcuilding of churches. Bn: a house without God is not re«y a home, even though it stand 1 ta;foe midst of a garden. Neither theichool teacher, nor the pastor of a j®urch can take the place of a GtxJ-f earing father, and of a mother whij not only knows God but who Can tenderly lead the steps of trusttagfohildhood in the paths of righteou|ness. Our lesson title is right: "A.Ration Needs Religious Homes." or. better, “America Needs Christian Homes.”

Whatever Changes May Come, Families Will Continue Oldest Institution On Earth, And Most Vital, Will Outlast All Social Transformations — Strengthening The Bed-Rock Basis Os Civiliation By Religion.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Rather terrifying was the report made to President Roosevelt a few weeks ago by his Committee on social changes and national progress. The experts portrayed new inventions as a monster upsetting many of our established usuages. Entire fields of employment may be wiped out. Our traditional order of life will be profoundly altered. Evidently, the report was designed to arouse Americans to do serious thinking. After the first panic thoughts are over, we settle down to a realization that the old things abide, the things about which we read in the early books of the Bible. God still occupies first place over life. The individual remains with essential physical needs and spiritual caplcities. Seed time and harvest continue: “the pleasant fruits of the kindly earth" are a perpetual provision for man. The home will ever be with us, as of Divine institution. We may experiment with creches and communal child centers, as Russia did, crowding adults into single rooms, like cattle into stalls. But that cannot last, even in Russia. That Dear Refuge Called Home “He setteth the solitary in families," says Scripture. God at the first established the oldest institution on earth, the human family. His earliest dealings with mankind were in relation to this sacred unit. Before ever there was a nation, or any other social order, there were families — men and women living together in the sacred responsibility of rearing children. As I explored the cave wherein* was found a few years ago, the skull of “the Galilee Man,” estimated to have lived twenty-five thousand years ago, I realized that here, in these primitive conditions, a human family dwelt. Eugenists have Advanced many radical theories, some of them simply crazy; and modern book-stalls are full of sordid and sexy treatises upon the marriage relation; but still the common sense and spiritual nature of the masses of mankind continudThe old pattern ot a man’s pure love for a woman, and a woman's pure love for a man, expressing itself in a home wherein children are the chief joy and blessing. The romance inherent in home life is God’s divine gift to the race. Before ever universities were dreamed of, the great school for the training of life was the home. Therein characters were shaped, by the lessons of obedience, mutual consideration, industry, respon- ♦ *♦♦*♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ *The Sunday School Lesson for September 12 is "A Nation Needs Religious Homes." — Deut. 6:1-9; 11:18-25. »»»»»»••♦ »»*'»»»*»»

sibillty. protection and affection. There is great to-do nowadays about the defects of college education; but if a boy or girl has had a'sound home training he can survive any sort of "higher learning." For the foundations of character I are what count. Our Homeless Generation Modern invention and “progress" have wrought sad havoc with i many homes. The familiar picture l of a whole family gathered of an evening about the lamp in the liv- ■ ing room, reading, playing games or talking, has been superseded in millions of cases. Each member of : many families now goes a separate way. A sprightly current story pietur- , es the case. To a real estate man | who wanted to sell her a home a bride replied: “Why buy a home? I was born in a hospital ward, reared in a boarding school, educated in a college, courted in an automobile, and married in a church. I get ' my meals at a cafeteria, live in an apartment, spend my mornings playing golf and my afternoons playing bridge; in the we dance or go to the movies; when I am sick I go to the hospital, and , when I die I shall be buried from 'an undertaker's. All we need is a ' garage with a bedroom." Now the trailer has come, further to uproot families from all local relationships and responsibilities. ■ How can the individual "shut his door" and find peace and time for private devotions in a crowded trailer? No memories of mother in ' a rocking chair, singing the baby to sleep, are possible in these tiny , apartments on wheels MViat is to become of the spaciousness and leisureness of home life? What of ’ opportunities for religious instruction? Doubtless It will become the vogue to "turn in" the trailerhomestead for a later model every few years.

Laying Foundations Many unmarried persons grow to be “queer" and full of self-centered l crotchets. They are walking illustrations of God's early dictum that "It is not good for man to live alone." Home relationships and responsibilities steady and normalize a character. Parents are educated by children as frilly as children are educated by parents. The deepest needs of the human heart for companionship, affection, sympathy and loyalty, arq met only in the home. No other rewards of life , are so sweet as home joys. It is opp.-stune to affirm here, amidst all the varying conceptions of “success" which prevail foday. that the man and woman who have established a home ruled by love and honor, and who have reared a family of children loyal to God and to Country, have achieved a success in life that is surpassed by none of the spectacular achievements of men and women who wear the medals. Be it ever remembered that when God wanted to equip His Son for supreme service, He reared Him in a working-

man's family. In the home religion lias its most congenial abode and its strongest fortress. Anything so fine as a true home must needs have God as a factor in it. Indeed. He who set up the first home decreed, in the record which is our Lesson text, that His law should be taught to the children, "when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up." Pity the children whose parents never tell them the dear old Bible stories; who never learn to kneel in family worship, and who even do not hear grace before meat at the family table. They are missing out in that normal conception of God as the chief factor in life which is the most stabilizing force in character. All around the horizon we see portents of change and peril. Our best national protection is Christian homes, the gyroscope of civilization. The man and woman who are maintaining godly households are providing their Country with a better defense than an army with guns.
