GET A HOME OF YOUR OWN
Mans Great Instinct Transmitted
From Adam and Eve.

The Rev. Dir. Scudder had some good
advice for young men about to marry,
and last night he impaired it to them at
the Tabernacle in the shape of a sermon
on "How to Choose Wife," His text
was "Whoso findeth good wife findeth
a good thing" Mr.. Scudder began his
remarks by picturing the lonely condition
of Adam in the Garden OF Eden before
the advent of Eve. Adam had everything
to eat an earthly Paradise could afford;
his occupation was a most enjoy
able one for he was hOrtlculturlSt
and he had all the animals OF creation to
amuse him. AS he was the only man
living he had monopoly in the SOIL; ne
owned the earth, so to speak, and yet he
was not happy. There was something
lacking. and he went nloping around the
garden until God took pity upon him and
gave him wife.
The first wife, Mr.. Scudder went on to
saw was given away by the Almighty. and
Adam. accepting the GIT, became
honeymoon In Paradise. Tney roamed
about hand in hand. and God walked
with them.
This was the beautiful picture that
Oriental imagery had handed down and
it taught a great lesson.

WHAT HUMANITY YEARNS FOR.
There is a. yearnlug liz every mans
breast to establish Il iome of his own.
This instinct is common to man ana
woman, and upon it depends the perpetu-
ity of the family system To own 4 Eouse,
to have II loving helpmaGe, and be The
head OF a family, Is the ambition OF every
man whose instincts have not been per-
verted or crushed by some senscless con-
ventiopality or career of vice.
~ .,Some bachelors do not marry be-
cause they have been crossed in love.
Unable to get the one they wanted, they
made VOW to have nothing more to do
with the sex. Some young men would
marry if they were sure chat their mat
riunouial venture would be 4 success, but
they have seen so many matrimonial
failures they are afraid 20 take the FISK.
They regard bachelorhood AS superior TO
an unhappy home.
'.It is Il good thing to get n wife. lt.is a
good thing to get u good wife. There are
all kinds of women in this world, and
most of them. by he way, would ike 10
be married. AS there are a great many
women in the world, and some are mani
testify superior TO Others, it behooves the
wise II AN 10 make Il judicious selection.
All women do not MAKE good wives. and
it is possible for a man to marry and
make the greatest blunder OF his life.
"Eve made trouble for Adam short
time after their honeymoon, and both
were turned out OF the Garden. In this
instance, however, Adam could be scarcely
blamed as the poor man had no choice. II
was Eve or nothing, and he very sensibly
took the woman, for she was better than
nothing. In seeking a wife man should
proceed in u business like manner, and
not be carried away by his emotion.
VEAL OR WOE FOR LIFE.
s"rhe step Is OF paramount Importance
as it will effect his veal or woe more than
ANYTHING else in life. Marriage should
be something more than a grabbing intos
