.PORTRAYS MODEL HUSBAND
Rev. Mr.. King Begins Series of Ser
mons at Dumbarton Church.
Tells Congregation All Good Men
Always Be Wife's Sweetheart.

The Rev. George VI. King delivered the
night at the Dumbarton NJ. Z. Church
before an audience which taxed the ca
pacity Of the building The subject Of
last nights discourse was The Model
Husband"
After dwelling for a short space in a
general introduction Of the series, DR.,
King pointed out several particular requi-
sites which every husband should have.
He then said. i'm part:
Every husband should be the intel
lectual as well as the temporal conter of
his home He should not consider his
duty done when he has worked for the
maintenance Of his family and brought
home 10 them the fruits Of his labor Nor
should he be content 10 allow his wife 10
encourage the education Of his children,
while he is the veriest onIooker. a hus-
cultivate the homcIy virtues which come
from welI-seIected reading, and be able
10 suggest interesting topics Of converse
tlon as well as decide with some accuracy
the least questions.
He should al least be the nominal head
in religious matters. although the real in
tUitive religious instruction belongs TO the
woman I'm the home He should always
lead in prayer, and should appear inter
ested in all that pertains to. spirituality.
Many men. who are known as good hus-
bands, watch the women and children of
their families go TO church. and they
themselves lounge the morning away. OF
spend Sunday over some fishing stream.
This should not be-
And last of all. a husband should be
always a lover. The love Of a model hus-
band does not die with the honeymoon,
his love is a principle in his life. There
is nothing in the world so beautiful as the
sight of "a couple loving in youth in mid
die age. and in the death of life. Nothing
is so edifying as the sight OF a couple who
have been together fifty years, and who
are the same lovers as they were in the
olden days. who look forward 10 the in
evitable separation as the only great sor-
row in their life ard who find in the
eternal union in heaven a compensating
consolation"
