MAKING OUR HOMES CHRISTIAN. Ephesians, v.25-xi.4. Golden Text—Let us love one another: for love is of God.— T John, iv.7. Modern civilization is imperiled, ac cording to some soctal cynics, through the loss of the home life. Christianity. growing out of Judaism, has fostered and developed the home. All the tem- ples and synagogues of Judaism and all the churches of Christendom nad their beginnings in the household. where religion was taught and lived by_tiod-tearing parents. Making our homes Christian con tains the one hope for the prevention of the dangers that threaten modern civilization. ~ “The sanctity of the home and the integrity of the family are not idle phrases nor unimportant issues. They are vital to human wel- fare.” The social life of the world has its beginnings -in the home. The world's industry had its start in the family. Governments originated in the home. Education commences in the home, where the plastic life is molded by the teaching and practicing of the precepts and principles of re- ligion into strong personalities, or. bent into a defective or dwarf charac- ter. through the lack of proper re- ligious instruction. The family is a divine institution that was ordained of God to perpetu- ate the race and to hand down from generation to generation His revela- tlons to men. In every Christian marriage God is recognized as being a party to every marrlage, so that it ought not to be entered into without due consideration and in accordance with His will. The sacredness of the marriage vow condemns its being en- tered into for convenience, based upon covetous desires for wealth, title pleasure, comfort or as a means of social enjovment. The ideal and Christian marriage demands the throb- bing heart of true and abiding love for the establishment of a home. While tiue Tove may not always run smooth, false love. or passing sentiment, is certain to bring about shipwreck. When Jesus spoke to the woman at the well of Samaria He did not con- done her sin in breaking the seventh commandment, for in His Sermon on the Mount He taught that it was broken in spirit by a mere look. He saw that what she needed was more spirituality. and He tried to give unto her that life which Is essential to the making of a Christian home. Christian Parents. There is only one motive for home making, that has stood the acid test of time, the onslaught of adversaries and the subtle attack of destroying forces. It is love. Christianity beau- tifies everything it touches. Reaching out into pagan lands and life, it taught the sanctity of marriage until the Christian home was marked by a mutual love that was rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus, purifyving the home life, elevating the position of the wife until she became man's equal. Without the spiritual tie of love, it is impossible to make an ideal Christian home. Although a mar- riage may be arranged, as was Isaac's, or be one of convenience, as was Ruth’s, or be a love marriage, as was Rachel's, the carrying out of the obligations of matrimony requires a mutual love such as Christ had for the churcl ‘When the motive power of the husband and wife is of a love like the Master possessed for His bride, the spiritual church, their home life will be purified by His presence and their union permanent because ther love will be seli-denying, sacrificial and sharing their all with one another. When such love exists, there will be no “hardness of hearts,” that was the basis for a divorce according to Moses. Jesus taught that Moses was justified in granting a “bill of divorcement” in certain cases, where “hardness of heart” existed. Where- ever the teachings of Christ have gone there has been a great reduc- tion in the number of divorces, wifich would be reduced considerably in this land if professed Christians followed the Scripture, which prohibits their being unequally yoked together with unbelievers. THE Sunday School Lesson carth is named after the ideal and idea of “our Father who is in heaven.” Christian parents learn from God's love for them and Christ’s for His Church what relations they should have with one another, as well as what every Christian home means to their Lord. He impressed upon them their mutual responsibilities, rights and privileges in the training of their children. In His program for the saving of the world the home is the key to the deepening and enrichment of their own spiritual life, the build- ing up of the church, the evangeliza- tion of the world and the development of His kingdom in the rearing and training of Christian children. Christian Children. Jesus glorified childhood by enter- ing the human race as a child. His religion has emphasized and taught the world the rights of a child o that their needs and value are recognized in all lands where His gospel become dominant. The Christian home exists for the child and is in- complete without the presence of children to be developed for the ser- vice of Christ and His through the spiritual atmosphere of a home. where #heir character is shaped by their Wwarents' reading of God's Word, family prayers and re- ligious attitude and influence. The memory of those early days and their lasting fnfluence upon those blessed with Christian homes prove the Seriptures, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Most of us have learned the mean- ing of the apostle’s command for children to honor their parents, which is the first commandment with a promise. The tepdency of city life and the absence of' the old woodshed chureh | were recently given by a young crim- inal as the reason for his failure to live in accordance with law. Obedi- ence and the honoring of one's parents ie the natural result that fol- lows a spirit of affection and rever- ence for father and mother. Tt is the root of all law and is a lesson that must be learned before one can succeed in life. Children repeat in their life the spiritual attitude of their parents. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The life lived by parents in the family circle helps to make or mar the Christian faith of their little ones. No person has a greater in- fluence than a Christian mother in winning her children for Christ and His church. The father has a re. sponsibility for the spiritual life of his children that he ought not to shirk. The one who saves a child saves not only a soul but a life that will be a multiplication table. The possibilities and results of winning ildren for Christ have been un- imated by the followers of the Lord Jesus, who have neglected the "l Christian culture of the rising genera- tion. Christian Culture. Christian character is started and developed best in a Christian home. The Lord Jesus recelved his first veligious instruction from His blessed mother. We probably received ours from the mother who gave us birth and who taught us first to lisp God's holy name in prayer. She taught us the first passages of the Bible that we committed when children about her knee. Her memory is blessed and treasured by us because she inspired us with those lofty religious views and ideals that had been an inspira- tion in her own life. The study of the Bible commences in the Christian home, It teaches Lansburgh & Bro. Nor is the younz man left in the slightest doubt us to the Nemesis which follows an abuse of the simple laws which govern our race.” The student of God’s word is not only warned against the evil pitfalls of life but he learns from its pages that the wages of sin is death and how God has revealed His love for the sin- ner by providing for him a salvation from sin. Jesus learncd his trade as a car- penter in His Nazareth home. Fvery vouth should learn the vital facts con- cerning his spiritual life and life in the family school of religion. and the foundation for his life's er in the co-operative industrial activity con nected with the home. These lessons are just as important as any learned in school. The habits of church at- tendance and observance of religious worship have had their source in thé life of a Christian home. The culture of a home that is Christian promotes the length of da nd equips one for advancement in every department of life. The foundation for success in scholarship, setvice and spiritual life is liad in the home. The child ab sorbs the atmosphere of its religious life seen in the parent’s prayers, read- ing of the Bible and the performance of every task in a spirit of love and loyalty ‘to the Lord Jesus. The cul- ture of such a home will keep one walking in the straight and narrow NS | ehairman; 1927. path, inspiring them to higher deeds and being. One can never blot out the memory of his old home life.
