amental cornerstone of every
home which adjusts the foun-
dalton of society. A few good
homes mean a good neighbor-
hood, few good neighbor-
hoods mean a good city, a few
good cities mean a good state,
and few good states mean
good nation. When a mistake
is made in marriage it cannot
be easily erased and its de-
structive sting roots itself deep
in the heartstring of the per-
sonal, oftimes causing destruc-
ton.
Every young man and Wom-
an owe themselves a decent,
peaceful. respectable home
which only they can build.
They have a definite obligation
to their unborn children to
furnish them with parents who
will aid them through their
struggles in life; parents of
whom they need not be
ashamed. No boy or girl is re-
sponsible for coming into this
world. They are not reSpon-
Siblef or the kind of parents or
relatives they have-but they
are totally responsible for how
they leave this world, and for
the type of parents they give
their children, and are practi-
cally fully responsible for the
success or failure Of their home
and children.
A bad start means a bad end,
a sinful start means a sinful
end. You can't build a home
on dirt and expect it to grow
clean; you cant build it crooked
and expect it to grow tsraight;
you can't start off with Satan
and transfer your product to
God without there being a
change within; you can't SOW
sinful seeds and reap virtue.
You can't drink socially and
build a temperance home; you
can't gamble and steal and
have a home of honesty. You
can't steal somebody's girl
friend or boy friend and get
married and have that mar
riage last-it's bound to go on
the rocks. You can't live with
a man or woman you have no
business with and prosper for
any length of time. If you
mean to do right and to have
a home that is right you must
start right,
You can't marry out of pity
and expect it to blossom into
love, you can't marry a girl or
boy because it's your mothers
or fathers friend and expect
it to blossom into love, YOU
can't marry for future gains or
heavy bread basket and ex-
pect it to blossom into love,
for that marriage that fails to
start off with love will leave no
room for love to Seep through.
You can't marry for physical
attraction or prestige or spite
or on a bet and expect it to
blossom into love for the seed
of loVen OF planted before mar
rage cannot grow and blossom
during marriage.
Today we see the world in
turmoil churches closing
down and sin on a rampage. It
all started from the home, for
the influence of politics, of
government seating, of political
status all owes its irigin to the
home. You can't have a home
IN which civilization can be
secure until you clean up these
modern hypocritical sinful self
righteous children trainers,
who try to teach and train
children who are better than
they and know more than they
will ever know. No liquor
drinking mother or father has
any right in trying to teach a
child, for if you can't teach a
child by living you are wasting
your time in preaching. No
dsnce-hall floor mothers, or
card-cutting mothers can be of
any asset to civilization and if
yo ucannot give your child a
better opportunity in life it
were better that you never got
married, Civilization can new
er be restored until the youth
of today see the necessity of a
sane choice in marriage. Every
boy in selecting a girl should
choose a girl whose personality
and temperament is in con-
trast to his. That is if he is
hot-headed she should be cool
headed, if he has mean dis
position she must be agreeable,
for two in wrong will ALWAYS
