But in truly! Christian homes and in homes that are not Christian but that are cen­ tres pt much Wt is lovely and ad­ mirable, problems are sure to rise and some of these problems make up pur lesson. . The question, of “religion” in the home Hee problems, it was an day, more before "Christ came. Israelites, God’s chosen people, were dabbling in false religious'. Their '■fatherd had done the same thing long before, Joshua pleads wlith the people to “fear the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth put away the gods which thers served.” With, a touqh*of irony, continues; “And if it seem to you to serye the Lord, choose you this day whom ye ' will serve: whether the gods Which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Ar- lnoritas, in whose land ye dwell.” x Today as in Joshua’s day there are planty of false religipns from which ^erye the Lord, Strange- and occult religions arq .being -imported into Christian lands from the East and from darkest Africa. Subtle coun­ terfeits of Christianity are preva­ lent and name of from the the shed as the only way of salvation for list .sinners. May we turn from these as from spiritual suicide and eter­ nal death. Let us say, in Joshua’s ringing words, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Then the problem of'divorce! This again is mo new problem; it was old in the-'days of our Lord; it was old in the days of Moses. Christ dealt with this,,problem frankly, unequiv­ ocally, uncompromisingly. Moses had formulated a law4 of divorce for the Israelites. We find it in Deuteronomy 24. The Lord said of this: “For the! hardness of your heprt he Wrote you this precept. But from the beginning ' of the creation’ God made them male and female.* For”this cause shall a man leave hil's father and mother, and cleave to his; wife, and the twain shall be one; flesh; So then «they are no more twain, but one flbsh. What therefore; God hath joined together^ Jet no; man put asunder.? As His disciples asked Him fur­ ther about- this, • the Lord said that, if a man puts away his wife and marries another, lie' Commits adult-’ ery; ahd if a woman puts away her husband and marries another, "she commits adultery. Elsewhere *.in the Gospels the Lord intimates ’ that if adultery has already been commited’ by either the husbandj or the wife’ a divorce apd" remarriage by the in­ nocent i party does not constitute; adultery. . \ The New Testament standard is af high standard, but the problem of divorce in the modern home would diminish a thousandfold if the Lord’s divide andxautiioritative com­ mands were, obeyed unquestioningly. Then there is the pareht-and-chil-' dren problem? Have parents any real, right to teach or guide or control the actions' or lives of their children? Have children any duty to obey their parents? ' . ' There is widespread and popular teaching today that answers “No” both questions. Such teaching is law-, lessness^.pure and simple; it is given in defiance of God and Ris plainly revealed will, and it not only creates( unnecessary problems in the home; but it brings clioas and wreck. “'Childreh, obey ’your parents in the Lord, for this is right/’ That is' the message -of the Holy Spirit to children of every generation and of ev4ry land. The apostle Paul con-1 tinues, by inspiration: “Honor thy father and mdther, which is the first1 cSirimandinent with promise, that it may be well with thefe.”- The idea of honoring parents is laughed t-o, scorn in many quarters today, and a tragic harvest isHifeing reaped from this kind Of sowing. , l " But there- are two sides to it.- “And, ye fathers, “provoke not your children to Wrath, but -bring theiii up iri the nuftufe admonition of the. Lord.” Love is the Solution of the par- ent-ahd-children problem in the home, together with, the true wis­ dom that .is found only in the Sc'fi'p- tures, and with faith in Christ as Saviour and Lord. ri w :» T*X -» Jumping at conclusions is a ^urp way to a broken neck.

Where do some of your young people get their spending money? Their parents declare themselves short of cash, yet their offspring spend money as. freely as if the -times were flowing with cash and business opportunity.

We are (juite sure 'that the clergy are not to blame for this unsatisfac­ tory state of affairs. Wev qiiestion ? very much if one third of a congregation would turn out were the minister to call for public; worship, All manner of excuses are on tap for such conduct on the part 'the people. ‘Company came, some game th be attended A certain trip was planned, some bit of work was to be done. All of which are but flimsy excuses. The people simply do not wish to at­ tend divine service on such an occasion. Feasting or pleasuring for most of -them- are far more desirable. ‘ These seem hard words, but if they produce a thoughtful re­ action on the part of people who' .are-not so much'hardhearted as thoughtless, these very painful lines to us will not have been is­ sued in vain. The Great War was a shuddering horror growing out of covetousness, blind ambition and insane lust of conquest. Why the* anniversary of its close sh.ould be regarded as a day of merry-making is a problem that should give the nations pause. Our nation grew in all that satisfies the heart of man while her people were industrious, serious minded, devout. The day of stagna­ tion camp when she forgot God and was tob busy to observe silence dt least once a year when tlie darkest tragedyMhat ever visited the earth was called to remembrance. • * ♦ • ♦ ♦ ♦ ' THEN AND NOW Fifty years ago We knew of a- certain village with its grocery store and milliinery shop and bakery, two or three blacksmith shops and its carriage shops. This is what went on. The bossvworked all day along with his men.. He knew every home in the conned tiott. When a baby arrived the boss was about the first to congrat­ ulate. It was the sataie with weddings. The bosses children and those of the workmen played the same game and -■ attended the same parties. There were no fortunes made but there were no fail­ ures. -At seven in the morning the bell rang and ‘boss and men Were at work at the same houi*. When six o’clock Cable !boss and men went home to very much the -same style of meals. On ISunday there was little difference between the clothes of boss and men. After six o’clock boss and men alike gave themelvess to baring for their garden, feeding the pig or attending to the cow.' The little village was prosperous and happy, Then came the days of mass* production. The little shop was given the goby. The village dis­ appeared as ■ her young people heeded the lure of *big business in the big ciities. Then followed just what we have now-—bread lines, tai chimneys with no smoke in them, big houses plastered , with mortgages, high pressure salesmanship, savings swept away, busi­ ness hanging on by the skin of its tenth.
