Divorce, drink and the parent who toes to the child, are the three greatest

enemies of the home

These three forces were denounced

ky ReT. W. O. Stovall at the First Baptist church last night in the last of his series of four sermons on marriage

ana the home. Rev. Mr. Stovall's address follows

e live in a country of homes. Ev

ery living thing must have a place for

rest and ror caring for Its young, a lair, a den or a nest, and In a sense, that place is a home. But the home that makes civilization and promotes

numan napplness is more than a shelter or a place to eat and sleep. The home must provide shelter from the storms of life, food for the hungry heart and rest for the weary soul. In the home, the real home, there Isvjsweet companionship and a fellowof interest. It Is a place of deep sympathies and mutual burden bearing, where joys and sorrows are shared in common, where each one denies himself for the sake of the others. The brute instinct Is submerged In the common interest. The father knows no higher purpose than to make wife and babes comfortable and happy, and to surround tnem with those conditions that make for their welfare. In this his joy is made full. The mother's joy is in ministering. Wearied with much serving, she is happy in the happiness of her loved ones. But in the best home, the home

wnere there is wisdom mingled with love, the children have some part in the tasks. In our American homes we seldom any more find that stern practicality that crushes the joys out of childhood. Children Are Trusts. The child is sent into the home neither as a pet nor a servant, but as a trust from God. Another human life has come into being to add to the good of society and the glory of God, to enrich earth and heaven. We are untrue to our trust if either through love or neglect we fail to develop in it that sense of responsibility and zest for the task that life is going to demand

c; it. Did you ever notice that the least appreciative among children are usually those who have been most indulged? Parents often ask why it is that tneir children are so dissatisfied with their homes. They have been loved, shielded, petted and Indulged, why are they not interested in such a home? I will tell you one reason why. They never were taught anything that would make them enthusiastic about their home. It is this kind of home, where love Is mixed with sense and practicality Is mellowed by sentiment, where the family is really a family, it is this kind of home that gives to life its noblest

ideals. The home is the nursery of ideals. Nothing has so much to do with determining the kind of man or woman the child is to become as the home. The school, the Sunday school and the church are only helps of the home. Out in the world the child will meet with selfishness, greed, impurity, hardness, falsehood and evil of every kind. He must be buttressed against the onslaught of these things; ne must have that within him which is repelled by tne allurements of sin? and defies its threats. And he must get that thing from his home. If he learns selfishness and falsehood there, it means that his light has been turned into darkness. Right here I wish to pay. my respects to a parent who will lie to his child. What a parody on discipline, what a farce, what hypocricy for a parent with tongue still slimy from a lie to a child to punish the

cnna ror a lie to the parent! Christian Home Best. But the home that would throw the surest protection about the child must be a Christian home. The highest ideals grow only in Christian soil. We send our children out Into life warned against doing a lot of things because those things will injure them, and advised to do a lot of other things be

cause those things will help them. We too often put life on the low plane of expediency. The child who has gone out from the home where a godly father and mother have served, where the name of God has been honored and the voice of prayer has been frequently heard, where the open Bible is often seen and Christian conversation is the custom, that child has received a priceless heritage, and he dhutl noir enonrl o-v -,

of a real home he may know nothing at all.

And there is another invader to

which society actually sells the right

to menace our homes. That is drink. Drunkenness with its inevitable companions, Inefficiency, sickness, poverty and filth, is the one invader of our

Homes to which we deliberately sell out. We are putting a fearful handicap upon the home when we sell a license to a man to do a business that cannot possibly succeed without demoralizing and impoverishing some of those men who should be the protectors and supporters of our homes. This is literally what society does. It grants a man and a woman a license to establish a home with the hope that they shall be able to support the home and raise a family. Then it turns right around and sells to another man the right to do a business that will surely imbrute the man and destroy the home, and calls the whole transaction

personal liberty!" Lovers of the American home, how long will we endure it! How long, Lord, how long! As we prize virtue and manhood, as we value our flag and the institutions for which it stands, let us hold invio-i late the home. No matter how humble

it may be it is sacred if somebody

cans u nome. it is a little dominion all by itself where reign a king and a queen, and where dwell princes and princesses. It was of this kind of home that William Pitt said, "The poorest man in his cottage may bid defiance to all the force of the crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter but the king cannot enter!" It is to this sacred place that the man tired in mind and body turns from life's turmoil; and hither the children hasten with unconscious instinct bringing their little cares and anxie

ties, and here the weary but happy wife and mother waits with the welcome of love. This is home.

pied the rear seat with Wissler and Jackson. Miss Grace Kelly sat on a door next to Wissler. When the car turned over, following the breaking of the righ rear wheel, Miss Smith was thrown clear over the back of the front seat and the wind shield and alighted on the back of her head near the body of Miss Ada Kelly. She was terribly mutilated about the head and on her arrival at the hospital was hurried to the operating room. It was discovered that her skull had been fractured at its base and attending physicians then realized that her death was only the question of a few hours. She

never regained consciousness. Miss Mary Smith arrived at the hospital in the machine driven by Walker Land a few minutes after her sister had been received there and remained with her to the end. Postmaster Smith, of New Castle, was at once notified and he arrived at the hospital in a few hours. He had no criticism to offer of young Bayer, who had been driving a car only a little over a month. Wissler Badly Bruised. Of the young men who were in the car, Frank Wissler is the most seriously injured. His body is one mass

of bruises, from bead to foot, and one eye appears to hare been very badly Injured. It Is greatly swollen and discolored and even today he was suffering great pain. He is the son of Benjamin F. Wissler, a Cambridge City manufacturer and former Richmond newspaper proprietor. He Is employed at the Miller Brothers Hardware company. It Is not believed be has been internally injured. . Jackson, who travels for a New Castle manufacturing company, -and Mllllgan. son of Clinton Mllllgan. Muncle, who has bee employed at a New Castle factory as an office man" and who is a violinist of note, were both In

jured -about the head and shoulders.

Mllllgan had a deeD cut on the back of

bis head. Both were discharged from the hospital Sunday.' . . ;

Hope for Miss Kelly. Miss Grace Kelly, generally reeard-

ed . as one of Richmond's prettiest young women, about 21 years old. was

today still confined at the hospital, suffering from Injuries sustained about her abdomen and back. She has been suffering much pain and experienced a

severe shock when Informed Saturday of the death of her sister and the prob-

aDie death of her friend, Miss Smith. One of the physicians called into the case said this morning that apparently

miss nelly's condition is Improving

to I was under a rear , fender. I remember dimly realizing ' that something awful bad happened, and I was able to walk about." Jackson stood on the running board of a machine enroute to the hospital, his face bleeding from several cuts, and gamely cheered one of his more seriously injured companions. Arriv

ing at the hospital, however, be became delirious and demanded food, saying he was famished. He was hurried to a bed in a ward. Wissler and Mllllgan were also placed in the same ward. Car to Be Repaired. The Bayer car was not very badly

damaged. It turned over when the spokes of the right rear wheel col

lapsed, pitching It squarely onto the raised top, which crushed in, but

burled the car back on its wheels again. The rear end of the car was considerably battered. The front of

skidded so sharply that they were in constant fear of colliding with it. Just before the car turned over the three girls shrieked, a tire exploded, then everything was quiet except for the noise of the approaching machines, which be and Murray feared would plunge into the wreck. So close did the Murray car come to the wreck that many people thought at first it had also been smashed un.

Nearly all the members of the dancing party who returned in automobiles hurried to the hospital and volunteered their services. Nearly all thought that Bayer was dead and were astounded when they arrived at the hospital to see him walking about the hall, excitedly asking questions. Sister Kept in Ignorance.

right the rear end whirled about, the front wheels acting as a pivot, and

then began to topple. Wissler Fears Accident. "I knew then that an accident was Inevitable," said Wissler. "I threw one arm around Grace, who was sitting on a door next to me and shoved her to the floor between the two seats. Just as I fell on top of her the car pitched over on its top, which, fortunately, was up, and I can remember nothing else." "All I know is that I had been holding tightly to an iron rod and when I felt the car going I clinched my hold." said Jackson. "As a result I was not thrown from the car, and I guess that is the reason why I escaped the least injured of any of them. When I came

Swisher.

The women were not told of Ada's death. When they reached North E street they met Mr. Kelly returning from the hospital and he broke the sad news to them. Both wqmen were so overcome with grief that they had to be taken to the Kelly home at once. Mr. Smith came from New Castle in an automobile and passed the wrecked machine. The blood spots about the road and on the traction rails and ties showed him how Eerious the accident was. He was met at the hospital by his daughter, Miss Mary, who had attended the dance with Walker Land. She bore up bravely under the trying ordeal. Ira Swisher, who was in the Murray automobile, said that the Bayer car

Miss Ada Kelly, the first to die as the result of the accident, was an extremely pretty young woman, who for eight years had been employed as a stenogvapher by George Dilks. a lumber dealer. She was about 25 years old. It is said she did not desire to attend the dance Friday night, but finally yielded to the pleadings of her

friends to be a member of their party. I

Keturning trom the dance she was on the front seat of the automobile, seated between Bayer and Milligan. When the machine turned over, occupants of the car driven by Joseph Peltz saw her hurled head-foremost from the machine. She fell squarely on her face, breaking her neck. Her death was instantaneous. Her face was terribly mutilatej. Miss Smith, who died at the hospital about 10 o'clock Sunday, was one of the most popular members of the younger social set of New Castle. She and her sister, Miss Mary, Mr. Milli
