the Sunday School to the Home"
Mr.. Soaring said In part: I'm the
rrimative times the family was the
unit of society. Its industrial work
of every sort was carried on in
the home where the child received
all his training. ,-r' -
Education as a system depends
upon the idea held up for attainment
and this idea has differed at differ
ent times as for example, the idea
Of physical perfection among the
Athenians and that Of virtuous man
among the Hebrews" ~.
Parents Should Arouse Selves.
The speaker used the illustration
Of the Hebrew love Of God and
the encouraging OF questions by the
children as expressed In the Tai
mum. He then contrasted that age
with the present day conditions OF
divorce. lowering of morals through
the double standard, graft, and the
relentless pursuit Of wealth, and
greatest of all. ignorance Of the

Something is radically wrong"

due to the fact that II a not be

believe that the family Is the basis
Of society. have not w parents high
er duties to perform than merely
these? Dishonesty and corruption
in politics can only be overcome
by making love of service aud Golden
Rule the dominate principles Of life"
The speaker dwelt OF the fact
that the Jews recognized the trnth
that the education Of the children
must blend with the national and fam
lily life so that the family sense and
religious sense are inseparable. Thus
children should not be allowed to
consider themselves outside the re-
ligious fellowship of their parents,
but as they share In the real life
OF their parents they should share
in the religious life also. In order
to bring about this relationship be-
tween parents and children, the par
ents must speak freely Of devine
things. This is difficult because of
the complexities OF modern life, and
in order to encourage religious train
ing in the homes. parents should
recognize that the family itself Is
an educational institution. and at
tempt to simplify the number OF
interests so that time may be SCI
cured for family companionship.
