HUSBANDS AND FATHERS
IN THE HOME
Rev Charles H. Strone's Sermon on Home
and Happiness.

dition; physical strength is given TO
men; moral sensitiveness, acute and
refined, belongs to woman. If a woman
has made a mistake and has for a
lord a fool or a brute, instead of cry
ing out about it size should go to some
gloomy forest. summon Hecate, and
ask how it happened, whether 1t was
money or something else.
Discussing the headship of the fam
lily, Mr.. Strong said he would not 90
into details, as there has been so much
discussion of the matter that there is
now a certain sensitiveness about It,
but, he continued, Il will say that man
is the natural head of the family; If
good. he holds that place by his char
acter; if bad by force.
The idea of "A perfectly developed
man finds it's place in the home. | do
not intend to discuss again the ques-
ton of early marriage, but ! know
the young man will not call the wom-
an he loves to a life of poverty, and
that woman has too much love for
the man to whom she has given her
consent to delay marriage until he has
secured everything that might be de-
sired for the home.
With marriage begin responsible
ties and self-sacrifice, the real life OF
this world. actions for others, sacri-
fees for those we love. Marriage is
not simply for temporal benefits, but
for mutual work and mutual sacrifices.
/ sometimes think we are too often dis
posed to make a pleasure of religion,
as though we think that God so loved
us that he sent Jesus Christ to die
for us so we can have a good time.
The scriptures tell us that the man
who would gain his life must first lay
il down. The lesson of life is to care
for some others interest more than
we care for our own.
In concluding. Mr.. Strong contrasted
two scenes, that of the life of the
working class of Paris, as recently de-
scribed by a French newspaper man,
and that of the Scottish peasantry, as
shown in The Cotter's Saturday
Night" He described the conditions
that conduced to happy homes and
closed by saying, May such homes be
yours-may you strive to make such
homes yours so that your path may
lead upward and onward to the blest
home beyond the grave"

Another sermon Of the series on
Home and Happiness" was delivered
by Rev. Charles H. Strong at St
Johns last night on Husbands and
Fathers in the Home" The text was
from / Peter, ill.,, Z: Likewise, We hus-
bands, dwell with them according to
knowledge. giving honor unto the wife.
as unto the weaker vessel, and as be-
ing heirs together of the grace of life;
that your prayers be not hindered."
Rev. Mr.. Strong began his address
with a tribute to love. There is" he
said, " a never-forgotten moment in a
young mans life; when, for the first
time. he falls in love. Probably the
most beautiful description of this state
in all literature is Dickens description
of it in David Copperfeld. l rather
think this is the best period in the
young mans life for all that is best in
him is uppermost at that time. He
purifies himself of all evil and gross
thoughts; il is as though heaven had
opened it's gates and sent him a bless
ing.
period in their own lives and rejoice
to see it in the young man. l wish
that often the young man could be
taken aside and have 1t whispered to
him that it is not possible for this
state to last; that unless he be very
careful and consider the underlying
principles of this state there will be
a shipwreck of his voyage of happi-
ness.
IF an older man with the knowl-
edge of the constant unfolding of what
woman is, could tell the young man of
some of the gathered experiences of
life, how many lives might be made
brighter and how many errors avoid
ed! And so this evening l lay down
this text. a text that every man ought
TO bear in mind, whether married or
not.
"St. Peter calls the wife the weak
er vessel: there is no sneer in the
words. they refer not to moral or mem
tai inferiority, but to her physical con-

During the winter of 1929, it was
NV fortune to be president of one of the
courts martial of the Army of Northern
Virginia. One bleak December morning,
while the snow covered the ground and
the winds howled around our camp, I
left my bivouac fire to attend the session
of the court.
Winding for miles long uncertain paths
/ at length arrived at the court ground,
at Round Oak church.
Day after day it had been our duty
to try the gallant soldiers of that army
charged with violations of military laws,
but never had I, on any previous occa-
sion been greeted by such anxious specta-
tors as on that morning awaited the OPEN

Case after case was disposed OF. and
at length the case of the Confederate

He was charged with desertion.

represent himself before the court, the

He replied: 81 have no witnesses"
Astonished at the calmness with which
he seemed to be submitting to what ne
regarded as inevitable fate. said to him:
Have you no defense? Is it possible
that you abandoned your comrades and
deserted your colors in the presence Of
the enemy without any reason
He replied: ''There was a reason. but
it will not avail me before a military

like children.
AS soon as I sufficiently recovered my
