There is nothing marvellous In the fact
that Hoods Sa~rsapaIiila should cure so
many diseases. When you remember that
q majority OF the disorders "feshis heirto'

of the blood, and that HOODS

tie whole thing Is explained.
Besides It's blood purifying qualities,
Hoods Sarsaparilla also contains the pest

kidney remedies and liver invigorants,

AMERICAN HOMES.
Causes at Work to Undermine
Family Life.


Family Life.
Rev. William q. Morelapd. rector of St.
Luke's, preached on the House Built on
the Sand" the burden of his discourse
which was weighty and eloquent. being
American Homes in Danger" He said ::
"a fine trait of English-speaking people
is the love of home. Father. mother,
home, are pure Saxon words. which
chime like silver bells. Two causes
are at work To undermine family life in
America-the commences OF divorce and
the decay of family piety. Lax views of
marriage lead to easy divorces. lncreas
ing mum berS attach no peculiar sacTedness
to wedlOck, and defend it on the ground of
expediency. rather than of divine COM
mand. The courts are SeveTiDg the mar
rage tie, thus breaking up homes and
shiyering the family. Divorces in the
United States have increased 15S per cent
in twenty wears.
1T is heresy against society to regard
the individual as the unit, to sacrifice the
common good for the sake of the indi-
vidual. Society begins with the family.
That is the unit. The nation and the
church are the family enlarged. When
the home is wrecked the Stale is under
mined. Christ was a social refOrmer far
IN advance of the nineteenth century.
Ee abrogated divorce. Civilization not
founded on Christ is built upon the sand.
The home that is built on the rock will
have four marks. Its head Will be a
Christian man or woman not halIing be-
tween two opinions, bnt diligent in sacra-
ments and prayer. The children will be
taught the faith of the gospel. Nett her
the public nor the Suaday-sehool can take
the place OF home teaching. Young i'm
mortals in many San Francisco homes are
growing up ignorant of their glorious her
itage as the children of God. Parents who
pamper the body and gid their homes with
luxury while they starve the heavenly and
spiritual nature of their children are to be
blamed.
1T will U OF do to say, L want my child
to choose his own ideas when he grows
up." 1t will be too late. You can't keep
his mind vacuum until he is of age. He
Will form his own morals. He will learn
his religion from the nurse, the street boy,
the newspapers or his own sinful heart,
while the parent sits by with his lips pad
locked. having abdicated mis- God-given
rights to nursemaids and the like. The
other traits of a Christian home are the
grace at meat and family prayer. See that
these things are practiced if you would
build your house on the rock"
