HOME, CHURCH and SCHOOL
CHARACTER BUILDERS

Every year the American Home De-
partment Of the State Federation Of
Women's clubs asks the local clubs
to cooperate with the churches in
Home Sunday, hoping in this way
to strengthen the relationship between
Home and Church. It was in accord
ance with this idea that the special
service was held at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning. The in
terest in such a movement was shown
by the large attendance.
The music furnished by Mrs.
Parke and Mrs. Burns of the Woman's
Club was beautiful and added to the
impressiveness of the service.
Mr.. Moves used for the text of his
sermon on Building Men," Psalms
144-12, "That our sons may be as
plants grown up in their youth; that
our daughters may be as corner stones
polished after the similitude of a
palace"
Some of the points which he en-
phasized were these: the Home, the
Church and the School are the main
institutions influencing the growth
of character in our children, and that
in order to obtain the best results
all these should work in accord.
There are three important factors
to be used in this work Of character
building. One is love, the inherent
right of every child; another is law,
most necessary all through life. Inn
portant among these are the pro-
hibitive Iaws-the simple don'ts of
childhood, the "thou shalt nots" Of
the ten commandments, the prohibi-
lions of our civil laws, the aim of
each being to protect against the con-
sequences of certain evils. Enforce
ment of any of these is difficult or
hopeless unless the spirit of the law,
the desire to obey, is in the hearts
of all.
And the last is example, that those
who are the 'Fbuilders of men" should
strive to make of themselves "noble
examples"
