Bassford Delivers Eloquent Sermon Here on "Home Ties." There was a good-sized audience at the union son Ire of the local churches nt the Christian Church on Sunday night. Rev. A. K. Ilnssford I of the llnptlst Church delivered a . $G.O0 icry lmpressho sermon on "Mem , .CO or es of Home." The congregatlonnl singing was aUo unusually good, and .Mrs. Conway milled to tne pleasure of the service by singing a soprano solo with splendid effect. Rev. J. 1'. Knotts of the .Methodist Church had i barge of the meeting . Mr. Ilnssfoid stated by way of in- roductlon that at the rentiest of the Oregon Sochi Hygiene Society nml some of the local brethren, lie would speak In the Interests of the "Uack-to-the-Home" movement on the sub- I Ject of "Home Ties, and tl.e Mem ories of Home. His remarks were based upon Luke 1." : 17-20, which deals with the home-coming of the prodigal son, and on the poetic couplet: "Oh, ye who have little children Olve them happy memories." ....S1.G0 ndvanco, the Coos year or WITH THE TEA AND THE TOAST (.()oi i:vi:nin.

Corlnne Rockwull Swain --- Still waters oft, they gay, run deep We Hiwr it or nntl our; Tlio shnliow oum, like shallow folk Iorevur make h lour He said In part: "The Prodigal Son started out In life with nil the advantages of n good home. When Inter In life he started fortli to make his fame nud fortune, lie left home supported nml telnforced by the most hallowed memories nod ever gives n young man. He had the memory of u good father, a loving mother and n good home. And the restraining power of such n reinforcement can hardly be measured. Few things snvo tlio grate of Ood nre so well calculated to keep the feet of youth In the path of virtue than such recollec tions of home, of fnthcr nml mother, ns this young man had. Again and again I have met young men who had thus been safeguarded nud kept from sin while far removed from the love nud protection of their homes. Not ninny moons ngo I knew bucIi a young man. He wns 2000 miles from home, surrounded by tempta tion, and It would have been easy for him to slip Into the ways of sin, for sin wns the fashion of those about him, nml the restraints of home nml family were gone. And though ho wns not n professing Christian or a regular attendant nt church, yet ho wns clean of mouth nud Ids body was untainted by the sins of his surroundings. I won dered how It could be, whnt tlio hidden source of his purity was. Soon the reason appeared. One day I mot him unexpectedly In his room. He looked pal ami sad, mid I In- iiuneii ir no end In disappointment and shame. The fathers shirk their Cod-given responsibility and overload tho al ready henvlly burdened mother with rhe religious nurture of the child, often further hnndlcapplng them with the blight of n father's Indif ference or bad exninple. We all know that precept must follow, not precede, example, if It Is to be ef fective. We may send our chlldien to church while they are young, and lemaln nt home ourselves. Hut we in.inot do It long, for they soon perceive the Inconsistency and If the ihiiich Is not good enough for father and mother they soon conclude that It Is not good enough for them, and get adrift. "There are fathers who are piling up fortune and winning fame, but through neglect and Indifference to their home responsibilities nre los ing their boys. It Is n fair question, I take it, to nsk: 'What shall It profit n man, If through Industry and business sngnelty lie gnlns a I fortune or fame, nud through neg- ' lect nud Indifefrcnce he damn Ids , boys?' How much business, how truck money, how much fame shall a man take In exchange for 1,1s boys? Ood pity the prodigal parent whose neglect Is responsible for his children's wnywardncss. The dnlly press told recently of a wayward sou's curse upon his neglectful par ent. The boy had been convicted of a serious crime nud sentenced to the penitentiary, nud ns the sher iff led him from tho courtroom lie passed his father mid stopped only to cry out: 'Curses upon you I Curses upon you! If you liml en ted and showed n father's Interest, 1 would not be going to the peniten tiary now. Curses upon you!' That tragedy Is being repeated in ninny forms too frequently nil over our Imul today. We do not underestim ate the difficulties of properly rais ing children amid modern city nud town conditions, but wo Insist that wo must safeguard them by the In fluence of both precept nud example. Ir wo value both their futuro happi ness and our own. "There Is no protection In the hour of temptation like tho memory of Christian parents and n Christ Inn home. These were tho factors which ultimately wived tho prodigal. No boy over gets wholly beyond the Influence of homo nud tho love of good parents. When tho hour of disillusionment comes, blessed Is the boy who lins Hint to support him. 'O. ye who huvo little children, give them happy memories NOW!' When tho poor prodlgnl enntu to himself, there wns no food, no friends, no homo nil were gone, nothing but tho sharp pangs of hunger gnawing within nud hogs for company with out. How different It nil wns from what he had planned nud expected! He hnd begun by feasting with har lots: he ended by fasting with swlno. Hut the memory of Ills father's home brought him bnck. Thank Ood he returned. "There Is another side to this truth we must not ignore. They tell us that during tlio Civil Wur the worst tragedies were not enacted upon bloody battluflelds, but In the lonely country homos. Unch morn ing tlio nn.xlous father went to the i..i. fn Tliev are the mothers '2 of the prodigals and the tiUhvn of the outcasts They. too. had a imoit son whom they lime lost lie w lost, not on the field of battle flKht lug in Freedor ' ai.se. but In h" dlstnut city.

His letters glowed with the wiiriuth and light of good news Then they grew fewer and few.-r and finally stopped altogether Lat er they learned of their son s sin and shame through a neighbor. No plea of theirs could bring him back home So they died, slain by their mu.
