A family picture, a model of home life. Jesus came into the world by way of the cradle and nursery. He blest the Cradle and the Home. In our text, we have a picture of the House­ hold in Bethany, so dear to the heart of Jesus. Here we have a glimpse of our Lord in the home life, record is more largely concerned with our Lord's public ministry It is a privilege on this occasion to follow Him in the innermost circle The little house at Bethany had al­ ways, Jesus. Mary, could and great indeed was the sense of rest and peace which He must have found there, when perhaps. He was weary in body. His spirit heavy within Him. So much did our Lord love this peaceful abode that, in the last few closing weeks of His earthly life He made it His headquarters. One of the sweetest words in any language is the word home. In Greek or (Latin, English or Hebrew, it is always the same, sweet, lovely, pre­ cious. Home is 'generally the first word which a child learns to say after that other dear word Mother, It is frequently the last word whis-' pered by dying Ups. More poems have been written, more stories told more pictures painted about home than anything else. The love of home is planted deep­ ly in all hearts. We share with the lower animals, the love of home. The o-x knows its owner, the ass his master’s crib, the horse his stable, the bird flies back to its nest. Yes and man loves home, be it ever ly. The .poor scanty furniture as the palace of the prince. One of the sweetest and purest affections of the human heart is the love of home. The author cf that sweetest of all songs, “Home Sweet Home” tells ‘us, that for many years he was an exile, and often as he wandered through strange .cities, he heard with exquisite sorrow, the words of his own song, while he himself was homeless. Yes, to all— “Sweet* is the smile the mutual look When hearts are of each other sure Sweet are the joys which crowd the a warm corner in the heart of He was at home there with Martha and Lazarus. Here He be sure o£ a loving welcome, A. Good is great Gift One of God’s best gifts to us is good home. Home life is the truest test of character, When we are at aom« we are natural, we are our­ selves. Home life, then is the true test of character. If a man is good he will show it there; the surest faith is fireside faith. Our home has its special temptations and trials, as well as the great world outside. Some c>f our sharpest sorrows come to our fireside, some of our hardest battles have to be fought within the four walls of home. “Let them first learn to show piety at home.” St. Paul puts that teaching in the very forefront, as the ABC of Chris­ tianity. He puts domestic piety, the duties of parents and children, next to our duty to God. In these pushing, hurrying times there is much danger of cur forget­ ting the importance of domestic piety Much of the teaching and fashio-n of the day is distinctly destructive of the sancity of home life. "Home” with all its fond endear­ ments, is a subject which has em- < ployed the pen of almost, every writ- The gospel er ancient and modern times. And no wonder, for a theme which dwells in earthly affections, and brings to remembrance the scense and pur­ suits of qur youthful days, is one which cannot be exhausted. What charm is tnere in some ■homes! Why, to- enter them, to jfartake of their sanctities is well- nigh sacramental. They are hol*y places. Hore within the four walls of home the highest manhood, brightest, purest womanhood, gladdest, happiest childhood their sphere. a The Decay M Home Life The Christian Home, I believe the foremost question of our time, lies back of such problems as church attendance and religious education. The most thoughtful and observ­ ant men of all ways of thinking, are viewing the decay of home life with the gravest apprehension. We see parents who are anxious about set­ tling their children advantageously in this life, but who never help them towards the life to come; who- teach them the way of the z world, but never mention the way of Heaven. Let us endeavor to- show piety at home, and make ouh house a place where the Lord Jesus may come and continually dwell. I like the answer of the little child who was asked what it was to be a Christian,—“For me to be Christian is to- live as Jesus would lve, and behave as Jesus would behave if He were a little child and lived in our house,’’ Yes, true Christianity consists in trying to live a Christ-like life, in daily endeavoring ourselves to follow the steps of His most holy example. If then, you would make your .'heme a sanctuary, a fit dwelling place for Jesus, you must make Him your Friend and 'Guide, you must keep very close to Him. The busiest of -us can and must find time to sit at the feet of Jesus daily, to take devout counsel with Him in prayer. The Church, the Bible and Prayer are three essentials for home build­ ing. never have been produced I£ the sightless eyes of Milton had not once studied God's word. Sir Walter Scott, the author of many historical novels, said on his death-bed 'There is only one book in the -world worth studying Bible. The finest characters the most frequent allusions great books owe their origin Bible. The Bible is so wonderful influence because it is everybody's book- It contains something for every kind of person, and so it dif­ fers from all other books.

It is the house or the furniture, or the surroundings. It is the presence of those we love. Without this a man­ sion were a cheerless prison. When we are out in the- world we go about in an armour of constraint and reserve. We are exposed to an­ tipathies and prejudices. We are en­ gaged in competition and strife. But at home we are ourselves. AL1 restraints are removed, there is no occasion to be on guard, none to act on the defensive, for we are sure that here our interests are all in common: Here, we shall be really understood and appreciated. The greatest thing in the world is a child, the greatest profession is motherhood, the greatest institution is the home and the greatest force is love. ■ The happiest and most beau­ tiful of the spheres in which Our Christian life is to be lived is the home. And the purity and strength and security of cur home life’. All our national welfare must depend, and it is equally true that in our home life more than any where, our Christ’an character is to be formed.

And Christians are God’s work­ men in this factory, all of them. Personal service is the duty of every Christian. For this each one of us has been called and chosen. This is the very essence of our Baptism—• to be Christ’s soldiers and servants. Consider the value of Each child 'God’s child; the hope of the nation; the seed of the church.

He lcved to pray, Sometimes Hie way of resting, much gnd so often it His life. It became breathing involuntary. Nothing we need to know more than, how to pray. Prayer is of great importance to the Christian life. It is the in­ stinct of the human heart, a Godward ‘tendency of our nature. We desire fellowship with God. Prayer is our human effort to gain such fellow­ ship. It is a religious exercise, calling out all the best powers of the soul. Prayer is talking to God. A mother prays for her child. As she prays God listens. The parent­ hood of earth and the parenthood of Heaven confer. The soul ther and the Spirit of God Prayer occupies the central religion, and religion is which binds us to God. Religion is written on the soul, stamped upon our nature. Religion cannot be ob­ literated by governmental decrees. If it were possible to destroy all churches and clergy, religion would spring up again out of the soil and out of the human heart.
