Germany, on October 31, 1517, “The Manifesto," stated Rev. Schmidt, “is a reminder to all churches that the Lutheran ' church is a confessional church, „that U teaches what it believes and believes what it teaches. The manifesto is a public declaration affirming our loyalty to the scriptures and to the doctrines of God’s word." The introduction and first sentence of the manifesto set the theme for the statement: "We, the sons and daughters of the Luthera* (Reformation, affirm and White and Yellow POP CORN lb. 19c EQUITY AIRY STORE

Testament, for you cannot have a Christian home without Christens, and there were no Christians when the Proverbs were being written. Nevertheless the Christian home has Its roots in the Old Testament

home, and the book of Proverbs has many things to say about homes without ever using the word. (The very word “home” in its full meaning is a Christian discovery.) j Homes Are Needed The most scientific students of humanity are telling us what Christians knew all the time: that? good homes are the foundation of a good community and nation. The chief probation officer of the city of Louisville, Ky., has said that in his experience he has seen delinquent children and youths from every kind of home —rich, j poor, educated, illiterate, every; kind you can think of, except one. ■ He has never seen juvenile de-; linquents’ coming out of homes Where the father and mother lived a life of harmony together.! Psychiatrists who deal with emotional disorders, those sicknesses of the personality which can be , so devastating in middle life, j have found that in probing for the ■ causes of disturbance, they always | have to inquire into the kind of home in which this person grew up. For security and stability of j character and personality, what is most needed are Christian homes. | Further, homes are needed for training in that most difficult and j "tricky” of all arts, the art est living with other people. We get a successful democracy about as fast as we get citizens who have been learning democracy as tney have lived in their homes growing up,—not much faster. j What Maker <r Home? ~ The Proverbs give many valuable hints and directions showing what is needed for successful home life. One thing, spelled out in chapters 6 and 7, is fidelity between husband and wife. Christians know that this is not the whole story. We have all seen, "homes” where there was no question of infidelity involved, no ground for divorce as the church sees it, and yet where the marriage was unsuccessful and the home no home at all. For all that, fidelity lies at the base of the successful home. The wife can’t cheat the husband, nor the husband the wife, without damaging all their relationships together. As the Proverbs point out, the unfaithful one hurts himself even more than he hurts his' partner. Another thing needed is_ peace. A home that is full of quarrels is not a home but a madhouse. For some reason the Proverbs refer often to quarreling wives, seldom to quarreling husbands. Some one has said that "It takes two to make a quarrel” isn’t true. One nagging person can 'make enough quarrels alone and unassisted, to break up any home. The man who “deserts” his wife, or the other way around, may turn out not to be a deserter but a refugee, as one of them said. A I third thing that makes a home, as Prov. 31 shows, is work. Homes do not run themselves. "Goldilocks, Goldilocks, wilt thou be mine? Thou shalt not wash dishes nor yet feed the swine; But sit upon cushions and sew a fine seam, And feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream.” So runs the nursery rhyme. But it is safe to say that Goldilocks and her husband would never make a happy home with that no-work program. Who Makes a Home? 1 What the Proverbs say has been tested many thousand times, and is true: the home is made successful by father, mother and children, .'all of them. One good mother working against a husband who doesn't care and children who never co- ' operate, can maybe keep the home from the rocks but it will never be what it might have been. We hear so much about "home and mother” that we get the notion that one good mother is all a >home needs for success. Many a sad mother could tell you this is not true. Then sometimes sentimental people say that "love” is ' all that is needed. That is false 'or true depending on what you | mean. Be slow In choosing a friend, slower in changing.—Franklin. A man is measured by what he does and gives.

'The School Os God" By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Let uh enter into ourselves as pupils in the school of God’s love; let-us lay aside our own motions of the course of study; let us submit ourselves to be led and taught; let us be prepared for any lessons that may be given from the blackboard of sorrow; let ua be so assured of the inexhaustible tenacity of His love as to dare to trust Him, though He slay ua, and let us look forward to that august moment when He will give us a reason for all of life's discipline, with a smile that shall thrill our souls with ecstacy and constrain sorrow and sighing to flee away forever. And don't let us fail to use the real text book-God's Holy Bible —which contains all the instructions we need to lead a life acceptable in God's sight. Furthermore it is important to be in church every Sunday to be a real graduate lit God’s School.
