OLD-YAsHIONED PARENTS NEED
0P HOME

On Christmas night the long desired
of the nations, the promised Redeemer
OF the world, revealed Himself to the
| Jews In the persons OF the Judeap
shepherds and on the Epiphany to the
GentiIes In the persons OF the Wise
Men, who iourneyed afar 10 offer Hin
their alteration in the symbolic ex-
preston Of gold, frankincense and
was in the home or the family circle
they found Him; In a home, too. the
poorest though the happiest Of which
there Is any human record. In that
home also Joseph and Mary found
their greatest happiness and in the
Child committed TO their care adored
their Gcd.
Home, then. is OF divine institution.
and thus in the blessed light OF those
two great Christian feasts, Christmas
and Epiphany, the Church wisely in
vites us to look In on the home OF
Nazareth and In It's blessed light study
the paramount Importance In life's
scheme Of the Christian home.
God created man for happiness
here and hereafter. Happiness was
the glorious estate the Creator pro-
vided for this privileged creature.
Christ became man and came 20 earth
TO regain for him that estate lost in
the pitiable fall OF his source. Few,
IL any, will deny God the power TO use
the means most conducive to effect
the redemption OF a fallen race: con-
sequently. when He instituted the
Christian home and all that IL stands
for as His first and most potent aid.
II must have been because He consid-
the most sacred ally He could assc-
ciate to Himself In securely Erecting
mans redemption.
ION that memorable night In the
little town Of Bethlehem paganism and
Christianity entered the list unto the
death. AS in the world to-day there
il little room for Christ and His teach
ings, so was II then. The public in
stitutions and the public life Of His
native country were closed to Him
Nevertheless, in the divine economy
that home founded by Christ is. and
ever will be-, the unit Of society and
on its blessed foundations rest the
purity and strength Of u cherished
Christian civilization, as well as the
prosperity and progress Of our giori
Gus nation.
Home may have its counterpart In
material buildings and possessions
but really It means father. mother ant
child. This divine institution then !
firmly buiided on the sacramento
union of the unaduIterated love OF on
man for one woman. and Of n wo
man for n man, until. as IL symbol
