Home Must Back Pastor.

Rev. Rae said in part:
Church is powerless unless 1t is
backed by the influence, culture and
grace of the home. The need of the
land today is for the home in which
the father and mother stand for its
richest vitality.
Society was not as complex. there
were not as many problems and men
aces when some of us were children
as there are today. Our children dc
not amuse themselves as we did when
we We're young.

I'VE must reconstruct our ideas and

NoPyf'9nt, 1910, " tHe WCSiu'S 9
Once upon time there was beau
tiful girl named Mary. She lived with
her grandmother far away in lonely
forest. One morning as she was about
10 fill her bucket the water suddenly
parted and there appeared before a
great big dragon.
He seemed to enjoy poor Mary's
fright, for he laughed and laughed.
Mary was more frightened now than
ever, for his mouth was tremendous
and his teeth so long and sharp. DO
not be afraid OF me- said the dragon,
and his voice was as sweet as could be.
II will not hurt you" AS soon as he
spoke Mary no longer felt the least
bit afraid She went up to him and
patted him as If he had been a little
kitten.
Fair maiden" continued the
dragon, you are too lovely to be hid
den in this lonely forest. Come with
me and | will give you all the riches
of my kingdom. My palace with all
its slaves shall be yours. You will be
queen
As to her beauty Mary doubted the
words of the dragon No mirrors hung
on the walls of their hut to tell her
and grandmother had never said
word about her looks.
The dragon seeing that she did not
believe him, led her to the edge of the
spring Here is true mirror he
said, look for yourself"
Mary looked down into the clear
water.
Yes, yes, the face that looks up to
me is beautiful" she said as she drew
back in surprise. How grand ! should
