REBUILD THE HOME.
Bishop Vincent's Twentieth Century
Message.

The following from Bishop Vincent
appears in TIE Globe-Democrat:
In response to the invitation to write
a twentieth century message''-I have
but this to say; The need of the age
that now is and of the age to come is
the Christian home. The most serious
defect of our day is the decline of par
entail authority, the neglect of religious
teaching. and of the habit of worship
in the family The true Christian homa
exaltS the church and SuStainS it; pre-
pares its members for social life and
service; for the school room, the world
of business and the ballot box And
there is no substitute for this natural,
divine and effect agency. Let America
Develop the pld-fashioned family life,
with it's firm administration, consistent
example, and daily recognition of God
in some simple form of Christian wor-
ship. The best things of our civilization
in the nineteenth century we owe to
this And this the twentieth centuryt
must have.
