The Rev. j. V. CLANCY, pastor Of the
Globe Congregational church, has com
menced series of sermons on " Practical
Christianity" " divided into the following
of our Homes" christianity in Busi
ness and WHO Is My NeighboI." He
preached last Sunday morning on the first
named subject, taking for his text part
OF the last verse of the 144th Psalm,
Lord; The speaker said this subject
should receive great attention from ora
tors and public speakers. Home is the
foundation Of society, and you must pu-
rify the home as the fountain head be-
fore y0u can a. reform fbs sTGety Christian bo
will make the perfect home, and it is
therefore the bulwark Of reformation. The
speaker then showed from the history of
different nations, their deterioration when
the home life had been invaded and desc
Grated The safety Of America lies in the
purity of home life, and we might well
tremble at some of the homes in our land.
The greatest men of onr time are born in
poor and God-like homes Minister'S
sons, as a rule follow In their fathe's
footsteps. Where children reared in
Christian homes go wrong something is
wrong in the home life. The parents
don't live consistent lives. The mothers
have the greatest influence over children
and all our homes should have family
