All need is a garage and a bed
room" With a background like
this, no John Howard Payne of to-
morrow, with tenderness and af-
lection, will ever be able to write
anew that "be it ever so humble,
there is no place like home"
And now let us go back TO the
robins nest again. Blessed with
only a low degree of intelligence
if we may speak of bird having
intelligence-the robin by exercis-
ing selective attention uses what
material it can find to build home
for itself and its young. IL better
material were available, the robin
would find and use it. Man with
high degree of intelligence has
wide choice between the poor and
the good in building a home-not
merely house-for himself and
his children. BY selecting wisely
he can have the finest in books and
magazines, in music and art, in
associates and friends. in culture
and religion. He need not be con-
tent with anything but the best.
Here we would lay the finger of
special accent upon the last factor
mentioned above, the chief factor
in building a home. It is religion.
1t is absolutely essential If the
home is to be truly happy one.
In illustration of this thought I
look at my watch The hour and
the minute hands that tell the time
for me move not by any power OF
their own. Open the back of the
watch and you see little moving
wheels of various sizes. They, too,
are powerless in themselves. Deep
er in the case of the watch and
somewhat hidden from sight is the
main spring. On it everything de-
pends. If that is broken the watch
has little value. Much like that,
the main spring of true happiness
is religion. Faith in God is that.
which makes life most worthwhile
and blessed is he who can say with
Joshua of the Old Testament, "As
for me and my house, we will serve
! the Lord"

THE NEST OF A ROBIN
@Be it ever so humble there IA no
place like hOme.s

Several years ago, sitting at my
study window, / watched a pair of
robins building their nest Per-
haps, il you are observant enough.
you may share this experience this
spring. Watch them closely and
you will see mama and papa robin
feverishly busy gathering their
building material and carrying it
in their bills. Do not disturb them
at their task. Wait until the nest
has fulfilled its purpose. Wait un-
til the little blue eggs have been
Matched and the young have ma
tured and flown away. Then take
the nest down and examine it close
ly. You will be surprised at what
you find.
The basis structure is composed
of small twigs and stout pieces of
straw. Above this, cleverly woven
together. you will find flexible
whisks of dry grass, strands of hair,
some silk and cotton threads and a
sundry lot of nondescript things.
AS you finger the nests parts in
your hands, as you pull it to pieces,
your are apt to exclaim, What poor
material out of which to build a
hOmei
And then my thinking roams to
wider fields. I pause to realize
that many homes are like this nest.
The material out of which they are
built is not good. Cheap maya
zines, jazz music, shallow and Of
times indecent books, sexy and low
character movies, neglected and
untidy rooms, meals out of tin cans,
plus hours spent daily away from
the family hearth-well, these are
not things out of which good homes
can be built The result has been
that our age is witnessing the
greatest increase in juvenile crime
in the history of our nation. Too
bad that in so many circles the
home has disintegrated to a point
that it no longer is a home at all.
Several weeks ago, in addressing
local women's club, l gave accept
to this lamentable truth by quot
ing the words of an embittered
woman when solicited by realtoT
to purchase for herself a home
This is what she said: why should
/ buy a home? l was born in a
