HOME LIFE MUST
HAVE HARMONY
Dr.. Ramsay Shows How Friction
Will Upset It-Work To-
gethcr and Agree.

Preaching from the text, Can Two
Walk Together Except They De
Agreed? ?" the Rev. David NJ. Ramsay,
pastor OF Grace Street Baptist Church,
last night referred to the influences
which upset the home.
LAS a train of cars may be upset for
lack OF proper equipment. so may the
home suffer a similar fate he said.
at tho present time, while railroad
authorities are Furnishing the American
people for offensive legislation and try
ing to make sentiment for political
purposes, we are in imminent peril of
accident from defective appliances.
There are two little gods worshiped
iii many homes--utility and economy
good In their place. but that place is
not the altar or the throne t is not
theirs 20 be worshiped or to reign. If
1t be the chief end in life to gather
gold, then the expense of hanging Il
picture. buying book. making u social
evening. and developing the spiritual
life is prodigality. Rest assured that
I! there is anything fine in your boys
they will go from such home as a
horse from the stall to the green pas
lures. They will not go to build better
homes, hut to do without them
Husband and Wife Must Agree.
Again. the home is upset by friction
we should have an understanding as
travelling companions as to the direc-
ton we are going. Our doom is as
/ sured If husband and wife cannot agre:
| on that fundamental point. Also. we
\ must get together on the question OF
speed. Our companions will help TO
make the journey pleasant; hence we
must take that serene friend, patience
in the party. Furth ermore, the home
is upset for the want of plan Pa
i thetic are the tragedies resulting from
the lack of safe and certain SEIZED
ule. There Is the same need in the
home for order.
i Finally, let us remark very softly.
the home is upset by the parting OF
friends The passengers must change
cars. Life itself is one of the great
separators. One becomes good, the
other bad. Alas. the road forks. The
business world is most eXacting. and
| from the old home the boy goes far
/ West. Again, there is the scent OF
orange blossoms in the air, the happy
festive party of friends, the rumbline
OF carriage wheels; then silence, and
the merry daughters voice is heard nc
more in the home"
Dr. Ramsay carried the theme to the
point of final separation-death. He
made an earnest appeal for harmony ir
the home as the great hope of saliva.

Don't talk foolish" retorted her

Mrs. Dowsett looked and saw a
smooth lake Of water stretching as
far as the distant hills. A few hours
ago it had all been grassland inter
sected with creeks. She also saw that
the old dinghy was rocking in the
swirl of the waters, and that it was
held by rope to a ring outside the

Mrs. Dowsett disappeared, and her
husband returned to the window fac
/ ing the sea. The boat, which he had
been watching for some time, was
now close to the house, and he could
see it plainly in the moonlight. She
was fishing smack of about twenty
tons, and she had been zigzagging
Iup the estuary from the open sea, I'M
der a jib. A crumpled mass of sail
and spars hung over her port side,
and Dowsett imagined II TO be all that
was left of the mainsail. She was
pursuing an erratic course, as though
some drunkard were at the helm, and
her lib continually shifted from side
to side. She was now within hun
dred yards of the house, and appar.
emily heading straight for the sea
wall. Dowsett called to his wife.

entered the room THE lubber's lost

he thinks It's all open sea. and hem
sailin into calm water t'other side OF

He threw open the window and
yelled, but the smack drove on with
her bowsprit pointing straight at the
house. Then his face grew white. for
he saw that the man at the helm
made no attempt to alter his course
He gave one look at the black hull
which seemed to be poised above them
and descending in a shower of white
foam. Then he rushed into the next
room and caught up Laura in his
arms.
The next moment there was crash
and a shock which sent Dowsett stag
gering to the floor. The smack had
rushed against the bank with such
! force that she had run half over the
top of it, and had driven her bowsprit
clean through the wooden walls OF
the cottage.
