Of Real Home Life.

TRAIN CHILDREN AT HOME
Billy Sunday at the tabernacle Las,
/ evening preached his famous sermon on
The Home" speaking in part as fol-
lows
The spot around which clusters more
sweet associations and precious memories
than any other place In all the world
the home
The longer I live and the more 1 visit
mp and down this land and see the Joys
= and sorrows. the successes and failures.
: OF men and women, the more thoroughly
! become impressed with the fact that
the greatest institution OF the American
people today lie the home, and every home
! should be the center OF all that IL elevat-
ing, inspiring and uplifting. and every
homo should be dead 10 anything that
disgraces and poliutes.
Not only peace and happiness center
! about the homo, but all that IL moral and
religious az well.
I believe the downfall OF most men and
women can be traced 10 some dIfect In
the home.
The genesis OF NS--z1-.sS. Il 10 big
question 20 answer In one sermon, but /
am going 70 say something about that
later.
one-tenth OF them have lost their par
ents; one-helf have lost either father or
mother. and 6 per cent are from homes
where the parents have been divorced.
Broken homes and broken lives seem 10
so hand In hand; they are inSeparsteiy
connected.
Modesty 10 the winds.
The women are silly, frivolous, ex-
travagant; they have thrown 10 the winds
all moeesty, prudence. relieion and the
virtues that are 20 attractive in women.
and have allowed themselves 20 be fiat
tered, cajoled and bamboosied by lot OF
Tilted Jays with cracked characters. and
they turn their homes into q thlrd-rate
gambling den and booze joint
They have vaudeville in their. homes.
they indulge In gambling. and the average
society woman today Is more familiar
with the names OF fancy wines and
ehompagnes than che 10 with classic
literature or the word Of God.
The prettiest picture that God has ever
painted or the world ever looked at Is a
father ana q mother that love jesus
Christ. and they take hold OF the hand
Of their eldest child and the next oldest
child, and the next child. down the line 20
shouting and singing into glory
The blacklist picture the world may see
Is to see a father and mother without
Christ. q mother without Christ and.
locking arms. taking hold Of the hands
OF tho oldest child and the next. and the
next. and on down 10 the youngest and
see that whole family going on to hell.
Home Makes the hoy.

i Anarchy ia not born In the anarchistio
riots Of the HaymaFkst; II IL kindled In

What the child IL IN the home, he will

] try twenty-three universities that have
department for the study OF the American
hog. and only one university that has .
department for the study Of the American
boy and that u Clark university At
Worcester. Masa.
In other words, we think more OF siop-
ping and feeding the hog than OF feeding
and training the boy and keeping him

Curse OF Idie Mother Danger sign.
II boy viii not obey his father and
mother, he will NOT obey the social and
moral law. II he won't obey you In your
home. II Il out OF such that anarchists,
nihilists. bomb throwers and cutthroats
are had.
One OF the danger signs Of our times is
the curse Of an idle mother.
Many woman never darns a stocking,
never . piece Of hemstitchins on q hand
kerchief, never puts any lace or insertion
on thing; they manage TO drag their
caroassea around. and II they ever go
out, il Il 10 some entertainment, lunch,
y or out 10 some opera. and out TO some
fashionable milliner: that eternal routine
OF bridge whist. dressmakers. mllliners;
they beat that little path.
They never 80 out 10 help the poor;
they never try 20 DO anything IN the
homes OF squaior or want; they never
try TO bridge the chasm. and meet the
fellow with the dinner bucket
II he goes 70 church. he thinks they
are too stuck up. great big stiffs, ana he
tells them 70 80 plumb 10 -.
And II you die and they keen Il out OF
the newspapers. no one viii ever miss
you. Not even your husband, only when
he gets your millinery bill showed under
HIS nose.
Lots of Women NEGLECT Homes.
This is the Gods truth ana you know h.
There ara lota OF women who are alb
soiutely useless. The most Eood-for-
nothing woman In Gods world is soms
so-called woman who cares nothing for
anything but society. frappes ana fine
clothes.
