John thraii The Sons of Israel will elbet of- fleers on TfiUrWlfty evening, The meeting of the Simultaneous Campaign at the Memorial M. E. Church was well attended lapt night. Dr. Ostrom spoke ” impressively on “ The American Home. ” An interesting feature of the meetings is the singing. The friends who love gospel singing rallied last night and filled the choir laft to overflowing. Mr. Hillis, with his powerful voice, led the singing and sang very impressively at the close of the sermon ‘ ‘ Home, Sweet Home! ” Dr. Ostrom, at the dose of his ap peal, asked the people to bow their heads, and while thus bowed in thoughtfulness, the words “ there ’ s no place like horrie, ” seemed dearer than ever to every one. The speaker had just closed his remarks by an incident in Jennie Lind ’ s life. When she was at the heighth of her ftfmo she was singing in Howard Payne ’ s home town. With her eyes fixed up on the author of these beautiful words, she sang back to him in tha presence of tho groat audience his petter sentiment. Though Howard Payne was a dissipated man, the audience went wild with enttuusiasm. While Mr. Marsh continued to play this beautiful melody softly, Ostrom made an appeal for bet ter homes and prayerful Christian homes. The after meeting was for the of ficials. and with renewed consecra- lon, they all agreed to precede every jpyepXn g a^jitiqrt- jpiayftf, 'service . Dr . Ostrora ’ a sermon dealt vlgof- ously with the home'proTdems and ’ made a lasting Impression. H b said in pqrt: \The Lord Shall Preserve Thy -Going Out and Thy Coming In. ” “ Thy going out to the turmoil, thy coming in to the quiet; thy going on to .the struggle, thy coining In to tke pillow; thy coming In to Mir cherished faces and familiar fates. It was ap advance most distinguish ing when the tribe gave place to the family. When Jenny Lind sang •Home, Sweet Homo, ’ in tho Old Na tional Theatre in Washington, little wonder that the listeners lost them selves in enthusiasm, for she looking Into the face of John How ard Payne as she sang. Pity a man who fools himself no longer capable of homesickness. “ But I pdlnt onl three great en- omics of the home-today. The first is the tendency to make home a place of arrival and uefiaHure with bit to eat and a nap thrown In. It is the sure pledge of doom to the home unless something bo added. Tho second Is the cruel power of divorce. The Chairman of the' Bu reau of Reforms at Washington says Uml -wUb Uio pnt a c . nt m et h o d of. dealing with > marriage about tho only diffrrmrr, between the Ameri- - can and the Turk is the difference b et we en tandem and team would think that If this thing were to continue to develop as it has with in recent years you would soon hear of a map suing for divorce from his wife because she had a tooth ex tracted, claiming that when ho mar ried her he married more teeth. • The third great enemy of the home is the thirst for grandeur the claim can he established that an undue thirst for grandeur is crowd ing out family love, then the home is becoming the prey to a most deadly foe. Whatever threatens the. home threatens you and me* With all yur scientific- adv&seement we have not yet gotten beyond disappointment and death as a people — and where wowld you rather he than in an old- fas&tened Jfij& 111 home ? .m institution Cannot stand mainly for education and fortune.
