GOD HELD VITAL NEED

| By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, ,>July 20.-Uttering a
| solemn warning to the men and
women of America" that this nation
will decay and finally perish when
American homes cease to revere God"
the report of the joint commission on
home and family life. which will be
presented to the triennial general
convention of the Episcopal Church
meeting in Portland. Oreg., September
| 8 next, was made public today.
Advanced culture did not save past
lcivilization,' did not prevent Germany
plunging into a gulf of infamy. Upon
Americas conservation to God de-
pends her fate says the report,
| which contains an exhaustive study
| CT social and Industrial conditions in
! the United States with particular
reference to home life.
The commission was appointed by
the Episcopal General Convention six
years ago, and includes in its person.
mel some Of the most distinguished of
the bishops. clerical and lay members
| of the church. Among other subjects
which are frankly treated are those
| of marriage. divorce and birth con-
| troll. The report contains a strong
| recommendations against the latter.
| Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndell. s. T. D..
\ of Williamsport Pa. secretary of the
| commission. in transmitting the re-
port. says that the whole effort of the
| commission has been to present to the
country a vital message in as concise
| form as possible.
Revelation Of Condition.
Even a cursory glance at condi-
tions in the average American home
! reveals evidence sufficient to warrant
the most careful study of those in
fluences now affecting these homes
from the standpoint of morals and re-
igion." the report continues The
attitude toward youth. even more
than the attitude of the youth, will
scarcely bear severe scrutiny.
We touch the root of our family
problem when we point to the lack of
| religion in the home. 1t is para
lying to think of the average Amer-
can family going on from the rising
to the retiring hour as if God had no
existence. Sunday is a day for extra
sleep, motoring. Sunday papers in
many volumes. comic supplements. If
American children are not to be
taught of God in the schools. and He
is unnamed in the home. what can we
expect but that at this moment the
United States is actually developing
into non-Christian nationn"
Rottenness Of society.
Touching upon domestic life in
America. the report says. Where
family life is dishonored. wedding un-
faithfulness lightly regarded. paren-
tai responsibility neglected. filial re
spect and obedience sighted. there
we may be sure. society is rotten at
the core. We tremble for the future
of a state or nation where lax the
ores concerning domestic life gain
ground Even laxer practice will
certainly prevail.
The remedy for the frightful dis
solution Of the marriage tie going on
in America and its inevitable conse-
uuence of race suicide is to be found

does not go to the root of the evil:
It attacks many outward symptoms OF
the disease and Is OF undoubted value,
but it does not destroy the germ OF
the evil or cure it at it's source.
Boys and girls must be taught as
early as possible that the chief pur-
pose Of marriage is the perpetuation
of the race. involving the begettins
and education Of children for the
work Of the world. Marriage Is high
and holy vocation. because the mar
ried pair are cooperating with the
Creator in the continuance Of the
human race"

HAD
FAST GRID TEAM

Special to The Evening Journal
MIDDuETowN. Dec. 1S-Middle-
town was represented on the grid
iron this year for the first time in
its history by a successful football
team. II is safe to say that It was
the most successful OF any athletic
team in the proportion OF games
played and won that Middletown
has ever produced. The team de-
serves the more praise for its fine
showing when the adverse conditions
under which they played are con-
sidered. These conditions are
two in number namely, the
objections to the game on the
grounds that il is extremely rough
and the inability Of the team to-
practice through the week.
The Middletown team did not have
even one player injured during the
past season. This fine record was
undoubtedly in a large measure re-
sponsible for the large crowd I'M
at the closing game on
Thanksgiving Day which was won
by the score OF 1871. The only
game Middletown lost was TO Brow
son A. A. by : to 6 score and
Brownsons extra point was ex-
tremely doubtful.

also said Harkins held the whistle

Manager McGranary explained
that Harkins could have taken adj

Board Of Health investigation is

Cobb's Creek Parkway, from an
thrax, a comparatively infrequent
and mystifying disease. the germs OF
which are sometimes carried in the
hide hair or fur of animals.
Mrs. T -ompson died Monday. Il Is
believed the germs may have been
carried in a fur coat and that infec-
ton was caused by contact of the
collar with slight abrasion on Mrs.
Thompson's face.
The death was the first fatality
from anthrax in this city in a num-
Der of months, and followed by one
week the issuance of a bulletin by
Director of Health Furbush in which
he discussed various phases of the
disease and pointed out TO the public
and particularly 70 workers in the
hide and hair industries the neces-
sity for prompt treatment of wounds.
Although much progress has been
made in the treatment Of anthrax.
the disease has puzzled physicians
