The Chan Ufa Lesson for February 25, IM2 WHAT is the most valuable feature of American life? It is not the supermarkets, the big double-lane highways, it isn’t the cars or even the schools. Many,

even Christians, would say it is not even the churches that are the best American possession. What is it (the reader is invited to think) which could get along without the church, but with-

Dr. Foreman

out which the church would soon wither away? The answer, of course, is the Christian home. Christian church and Christian home support each other; sometimes with an assist from the school, sometimes not. But the home is more indispensable to the church than the church to the home. What then is the inner support and foundation of a Christian home? The obvious answer is, Christian marriage. Failure of a marriage means failure of a home. Attack aa hem Today the home is under attack. Not directly; no one would get a moment’s hearing if he advertised himself as opposed to good homes. But indirectly, in countless ways, marriages can be, and often are, poisoned in advance. It is well known that one marriage in four, the country over, ends in divorce; and that though divorced persons often re-marry (for the stark and simple reason that they already have eheated wife or husband) they are not likely to make much more of the second try than the first One of the deadliest ways to poison a marriage beforehand is to come to it no longer a virgin; and this holds true for man and woman alike. From the very beginning, the Christian church and the Jewish synagogue have held , up one standard for marriage: Continence before, and chastity (faithfulness each to each) during marriage. Whatever breaks down that standard does something to break down marriage itself. A “home” where husband and wife are both survivors of many affair* with other people, a marriage that knows nothing of faithfulness, a marriage ready to break in two the minute a homesomer man or a more alluring woman comes on the scene,—such a “home” is likely to have little or no regard for any children and may even resent them. Mind and body The laws of any place fall behind the best ideals of the best people. Any good lawyer will admit as much. But even the law, clumsy and "external” as it must be, knows that adultery is wrong. But by the time adultery gets into the courts, or becomes a tragic basis for divorce, it has been going on for a long time. Jesus put it quite bluntly. Any man who looks on a woman with lust in his heart, has already committed adultery with her. There are only three requirements for any act, good or bad: desire, capacity, opportunity. And an act of adultery exists for a longer or shorter time in a mind first. A clean life is not one that lacks legally punishable acts. A clean life is one in which the law is not needed; it is a life that supplies its own discipline. Oar spacial problems In America at this time and for a generation or more before now, the Christian ideal of continence before marriage, chastity during it, itself has been eroded by constant attack. Consider the books and magazines for sale at your , nearby drugstores; consider the ' themes of popular moving pic--1 fares and novels; consider the moral standards of Hollywood and of their influence on our national life. Consider the way women and girls dress. To maintain a clean life in the midst of surrounding such as are common in America is extremely difficult, more so than for most previous centuries. Yet there is one thing it will help us to keep in mind. That is, that at the time the Christian church began, standards of relations between men and women, in the Roman Empire, where the infant church was born, were just as low as they are in America today, if not lower. Yet the ideals of Christ outlived the empire. The future of America is not with those large areas of corruption; ft is with the small groups that tateod to remain dean.

conservator of that life. Well, admitting all this, how is it to be done? . . After all is said, there is but one way that will ever be of any marked success, and that is by saving the lost. This is the local task of every church, and it is the world-task of the church as well. The seeking spirit in the church is the one thing needful, the one thing which all else will fail. If we lose interest in the lost and forget the chief business for which churches were organized and for which they exist, then it will not matter much what else is undertaken, because the very heart of all successful efforts will be taken out. This, then, is the big job for every church —for your churchAnd when this Christ ordained objective is really vital in the heart life of the church all other activities are enriched and all efforts made effective. This is the only thing big enougli to enlist all activities for purposeful service. If this is what we want — and want with all our hearts — then prayer will become a vital expreience and a real power.
