RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS.
BY REV. J. O. COUGH, MANNING, S. C..
RELIGION IN THE HOME.
THE INFLUENCE OF HOME.

Last week we noticed in this col
unn the definition of Home" now
let us pass on to notice its influence.
We, of course, take it for granted
that the mother and father, or the
husband and wife, constitute 'home." :"
They are the ones to do the infuenc-
ing. The children that God has
given you are the ones to be infu-
enced.
The apostle Paul had our influence
in view when he said, "No man sin
meth unto himself" We cannot live
apart from our influence. We are
continually and daily influencing
some one. Since we are ezerting an
influence daily and especially upon
the young, let me say that the inhu-
ence that mother and father make
upon the child may be called
THE FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
Having grown into consciousness
upon mothers lap; having first
looked into her beaming eyes and
smiling face; having like our dear
Saviour, received our first lesson from
mother; may we not say that moth
ers influence was the first to stamp
its impress upon the soul? There
the child receives the first lesson in
ambition, not that kind of an ambi-
ton that would exalt self over the
ruins of others, that would see en-
pires crumble and nations ruin, if I
can only be brought into public no.
tice, but that ambition which is man
ly and which resolves to be a man,
noble and true.
One has said that san honest man
is the noblest work of Cod Is
there any place on earth where the
boy would SO quickly learn the lesson
of honesty as at home dealing with
father and mother? At home we re-
ceiye very naturally the first impress
sions for truthfulness. This being
true, how careful ought parents to
be with their children as touching
the exact trutbfulness OF each and
every statement. If the father es-
teens his word and promise lightly
and fails in the presence of his child
to be true to his promise, will not the
child learn the same?
A father in the presence Of his lit:
tie son on one occasion promised his
uncle that he would meet him at a
certain time and at a certain place.
The hour having arrived, the father
seemed slow to start, when the little
son exclaimed, "Father, did you
promise uncle Tom that YOU would
meet him F.? Don't you reckon he is
disappointed % What a lesson that
boy taught his father! And oh,
what q lesson that father had already
taught the son.
After you nave heard the mother
or father say, johnnie, if you do
that again I will whip YOU" Johu-
ME goes ahead, and before ten min
utes he has done the same thing.
You failed to whip him. In his
young and tender mind he has put
you down as one who will not do
what you say.
I am not positive, but l believe
that parents should be cautious how
they threaten their children, and
when the threat has gone forth then
stand by it and whip. These i'm
pressions that are formed earliest
in the hearta are either for
GOOD OR EVIL.

GOOD OR EVIL

When we are brought face to face
with the fact that God has placed in
GU, hands $50 to speak) the destiny
of the immortal soul encased in the
body of your precious child, how i'm
portant is it that we shape that life
as far as possible for good. The in
fuence that parent exerts upon the
child cannot be neutral; it must be
either good or bad 1t begins at our
birth, goes on and on through life,
clipgs to US in death, and meets US
at the bar of God.
John Randolph said that che could
never forget the influence of little
prayer his mother had taught Linn,
and even in his old age he repeated it
by his bedside as in the days of
his childhood.
The murderer who, in the hour Of
cool, sober thought, plunges the dag
ger into the heart OF his friend, has
stamped an influence upon the heart
Of his son that time could never
erase.
Let NE be not understood to say
that all of the influence that a child
receives comes from parents at home.
| No. The influence OF a companion
is either good or bad, and helps to
influence and shape the life [ be-
lieve if children are away from home,
either at day or night, parents should
know where they are and what kind
of company they are in. Also, they
receive influence from bad books,
obscene pictures, etc. But these l
would not call direct home influence,
unless you have those things at home
and then it becomes home influence
and your home needs cleansing.
Let us who profess to be Chris
tians, so impress our children al
home that we are living our profes-
sion, backed up by our daily reading
of the bible and prayer, hence our
influence becomes that of God to the
boy.

WILL DISCUSS CHEAPER GAS
That Is the Next Subject for the
Board Of Trade.
Report of the Special Committee Is
Pending and VIII Probably Cause
Lively Debate.

Gas will he the next topic discussed by the
board OF trade, the discussion 10 be had
some night early this week.
The. pending report before The board is
one from a SPECIAL committee, OF which
Mfr. j. III. Ra.ston is chairman 1t was
made to the board early la Noy enl5er in ac-
cordance with instructions to the committee
TO make Investigations as 10 the cost OF gas
and electric Lighting in Washington as
compared With other cities. The object
OF the board al the time was supposed to he
the making of some suggestions 10 Congress
as To cheaper service i'll both OF these illum-
nantS for tits city.
The report had, however. Il hard time
The gas feature came near dying the death
by parliamentary asphyxiation. 1t was
called up, however, ana leave TO print
was obtained. About three weeks ago the
report in the printed form was put in the
hands of every member OF the board. 1t is
now proposed TO take il from the table and
talk about it.
Congress is already half way advanced
toward The cheap gas haven, but there is
no telling what may happen before the
final action is taken on the dollar gas bin.
1t may be that the board will take the
ground based on the report of its special
committee, that cheaper gas is not only
possible, but that it would be advisable.
1t is understood that the board or di-
rectors had Il meeting on Friday and de-
cided to call meeting of the board TO
consider the situation in general and 10
discuss the Raiston report in particular.
1t is observed by comparing the figures
rs given in the report of the special com
mittee and those arrived at by Chairman
Babcock as to the cost of manufacturing
gas in Washington, that the results agree
within a few cents. All the informa ion
on which the beard or trade could have
made practical suggestions to Congress has
it thus appears, been in its own report for
several months.

A HANDSOME STORE.
House * Hermann, the Great Credit
Giyers, Take Informal Possession
of Their New Building.
1T Is A CREDIT TO WASHINGTON

At last the whitened panes have been
cleaned, and tue passer-hy, who has been
curiouSly wondering what that great brick
structure on the northeast corner OF Seventh
and | streets looked Ike on the inside,
is given a glimpse OF what is one Of the
handsomest store interiors in this country.
Although the wOrkmen are still putting
on the finishing touches. and here and there
is to be found an uneompleted bit OF decor
alton, NeSsrs. House X Herman have moved
into their new building. and are ready for
business. 1t is their intention to defer the
formal opening until the last nail has been
driven, and the last artisan has departed.
The event will be marked by gala cele-
bFation that promises TO be n red letter
day in the history OF the successive successes
that have attended this firm since their
advent into business.
Not an item OF stock from the old
stores has crossed the threshold OF the
new building. but everywhere the eye is
greeted with an array of the very newest
conceptions in hOusefHrnishings Mr..
Herman told a Times representative yes
terday that when the store was stocked.
ready for the opening, it would be the
only one of its kind in Washington. The
variety is to include everything ina enable
that contributes 10 the comfort aud luxury
of home furnishing and housekeeping
furniture, carpets, mattings, dTapeFCs, bed
ding, crOCkeryware, cutlery, stoves fancy
furniture pieces, baby carriages, kitchen
ware, pictures, etc,
The building AID the business are both
unique features of Washington Its system
of selling upon the credit plan of easy in
stallmcnt payments has thousands OF sd
mirers, who have enjoyed its advantages,
The building ranks with any in the city
in its proportions and Architectural beauty.

Iished in The Times Every modern i'm

fast elevators bring the basement and the
top floors within a few seconds ride OF
each other. Thousands OF square feet OF
