Husbapds, Love Your Wives.
Rev. Mccoy took for his text. 'Iius-

ter against them" He said In part:
THAT was very good advice for an
unmarried man. We have no evidence
that Paul was eve married, but un-
doubtedly he had the making Of q
good husband, OF he never would have
spoken SO wisely of matrimony. II
the home is the basis of our civiliza-
tion, then both the husband and wife
are important factors In the worlds
progress. The wife should be the
queen-the queen Of sympathy and
~gentleness; and the husband should
be a king. but q king who rules by
love. The home should. be the sweet
est haven this side Of heaven for it Is
there that souls are made. The home
has been spoken Of as the place where
we grumble tho most and are loved
the best; O world Of strife shut out,
Ia world Of love shut in; q fathers
kingdom, a mothers world. q child's
paradise.
Husband Must, BE Unselisll.
"In order that the husband be ideal

dom Of his tyrannical sway. I think
this Is q remnant of the cave and
jungle. the past when the strong arm
was the scepter Of rightful rule. II
is a characteristic that is left over
in many homes. Men who would not
think OF being behind in scholarship
or business walk in the shadows OF
the past in expecting the weaker one
Of the home to be a servant and they

Before marriage I have known mer
to be &C unseltish toward the woman

to cav their company for any other
attraction. Yet I have known those
same men a few years after leading
their brides to the altar to think Il

II am a believer in lodges but what

Any club or institution that incessant'

respect for a b~ig-hearted sinner thar

Marriage must be considered no
