Fashioned Home" DR.. Chapman
made an earnest plea for piety in the
homes. 1.-THE greatest need of the
nation today" he said, ARE homes;
homes in which the mother and the
Bible are the prominent factor"
DR.. Chapman cited an incident of
a missionary returning from a for
eign country, who stated his greatest
~impressian of America was the lack
of ~God-fearing parents in the home.
Let the home fail and everything
will fail in its wake. Let the home
stand and a flood of blessings will
flow to its inmates. Let the homes
stand and you will never need al
evangelist. What is in your home
either makes it of breaks it,"
Scene in Newark.
Last night in the First church of
Newark a drunken workman came in
with his little bay and in the after
service spoke of the home he had
once possessed and of the earnest de
sire with which he had become pos
sessed to return to that home.
There are many children going to
the devil today because their homes
are not right. Gives us homes of the
right kind and there need not be any
fear for the boys and girls"
DR.. Chapman drew a vicid word
picture of different kinds of homes
and their influence for good and bad
upon the children" There are not
many of us can be rich and few of
us can be great" he said, but all
of us can be good"
Many in Tears.

singing There is no Place Like
