was given including a debate on the

meli is greater than the influence of

was defended by Mr. Will Welsh,

After a very careful deliberation the

Our subject tonight is the Home
No picture in the world is so beauti
ful as that of Christmas: The Mo
ther, Child and Joseph, united by
bonds of love. 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.

Lord in the home life,

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

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

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—

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

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.

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
