The sermon by John Mitchell last
Sunday morning was a timely one
depicting the beauties of a real home
and the duties and responsibilities

of pure young woman in marriage
unless he could qualify as a real man.
He later showed that no man without
Christ could qualify as a real man in
the home. All of the thoughts in
the sermon pointed to the one great
truth that there is no deeper sorrow
in the world than the loss Of one from
the home who had no hope in Christ.
