HOW TO MAKE THE HOME
4 NATION NEEDS
az Think Of the Home as an
Institution Of God. He instituted
IL In the Garden of Eden He
opened it in the morning of the
world. Il antedated the church
and the nation. It is the unit of
society. II is the chief base of
supply for religion and govern
ment.
or Plan the Home After the
Divine Model. God was not only
the architect Of the first human
home but is still the architect and
builder of every good home. Fol-
low the blueprints he has left US.
The divine model is exacly adapt
ed TO modern needs, and will be
as long as the world lasts.
(3) Found the Home on Love
to God. Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God" Love is bassal-the
love Of parents and children for
each other, of course; but far
more and far above that is love TO
God which includes and super
sedes human love even az its best.
Thus alone can the foundation of
the home be made secure.
(4) Conduct the Home Accord
ing 20 the Will of God. Walk in
all mis- ways" Do nothing and
allow nothing in the home that
God does not approve. Do any
thing and everything ne wants
you TO do in the home. Find out
mis- will and follow it faithfully,
90 Build the Home with
knowledge of the Bible. "Ye
shall lteach them your children"
The home school is and ought TO
be the NEST school on earth. And
it is best because the Bible is the
textbook, a devout and devoted
parent is teacher, and a docile
child at the most dependable pc
riod is the pupil.
(6J Proclaim the Home as
Avowedly Religious. Write them
upon the door posts Of thine
house, and upon thy gates" What
home should conceal its love and
loyalty TO God? Who could be
ashamed for any passerby to
know that his home is definitely
Christian?
On Make the Home an Agency
for Public Betterment. "In the
land which the Lord sware unto
your fathers to give them" Hap
py is that land that is dottded
with pious homes. Each one rad
iates the righteousness that ex-
alteth a nation.
~ Make the Home Assertive
Against Evil. aye shall possess"
The strongholds of wickedness
must be torn down and destroyed.
Out of good homes must come
the prophets and reformers who
will lead to victory.
(9 Establish the Home That
VIII Endure. That your days
may be multiplied" Are many
homes today built upon shifting
sands? That may account for so
many family wrecks along the
human highway. But the Chris
tan home can and will endure.
Build it today for tomorrow,
(10) Let the Home on Earth
Be an Earnest of the Home in
Heaven. Is Christ the welcome
guest in our homes here on earth
Then may we expect to be guests
in the Fathers house with its
many mansions and thus to be at
home with the Lord forever.
GOLD IN THE GOLDEN TEXT
Train up a child in the way he
should go: and when he is old, ne
will not depart from it. Proverbs
I22:6.
The child is the heir of the
past, the happiness of the pres
emit, and the hope of the future.
The training of the child is the
primal parental duty. Train up
the child therefore as the flower
is trained for beauty and a sur
geon is. trained for skill.
The training Of the child how
ever must set his feet in the path
of right living, and keep his face
toward the right goal, and infill
his heart with the noblest ideals.
Then the long years may come
and go, but the righteous path
vii still lbe trod and life will be
crowned with glory.
