PAGE THREE C E N TR AL POINT AM ERICAN God are honored, they will make it possible for some boys and girls to grow to stalwart Christian manhood and womanhood and effect some mighty changesin our life. Has God’s word changed? Has the bible stated a principle wrong? Ver ily NO. “ The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth ere on edge.” Is it not so today? Look up the rocord o f the fathers whose children are going to the bad. In nearly every case there was a failure on the part o f the parents, long before the children failed. You need not go out or this community to prove this. Why be diverted to the beaten lands tor evidence? Un less there are some changes in many o f the homes o f this community soon, this town will be “ put on the map” in no pleasing fashion. What is there in the average home of today to make that home really conducive to right living? Is it not true that the emphasis is placed on the material things, and not on the moral an religious? What are the bases o f success that the discussed in the home, when success is at all dis cussed? If the father is crooked in his dealings with his neighbors, who will expect honest children from that home? If he is loose in his relations with others, who will be surprised if the son becomes a libertine? We have passed the time for generaliz ing. We may well particularize. We may well put our hand on the indiv iduals who are furnishing us the ex amples; and say plainly: This is what I mean. We have all sympathy with the father whose son has fallen victim of evil associates, and has been led away from the better influences of the home; but when a boy has been caught in some evil, taken before the courts for correction, and suffers because o f sins which are the results o f his home influence, we feel that the whole system is out of joint or the main stigma would be placed up on the father who is primarily re sponsible for the evil. Where are the fathers o f these bad actors? What are they doing? Let one of them, or all o f them declare them selves. Let’s place the blame. Let it be plainly understood that a hypocritical profession, a joining o f some church, or the attendance at some bible school or church will not meet the issue. A mere “ turning over a new leaf” will fail. You will not fix the thing up in the lodge. If there is to be a change, it will take place in the HOME. Unless there is a change in the home the other things will be superficial, and transient. Next Sunday is "Father’s Day” at the Federated church. The ser vices will be helpful in constructive thought for making better homes. It is desired that all who are interested in a real uplift in community life will try to be with us unless you are a regular attendant somewhere else. Four Sunday morning services in May will be given to “ Better Homes” discussion. — J. M. Johnson.

RESPO N SIBILITY OF PARENTS During the .month o f May the pas tor and people o f the Federated churches will make a special effort to awaken the members o f the churches to the responsibility o f parents con- \ cem ing the needs of the day. From the President o f the United States down to the most humble preacher j comes the startling statement that the real break-down is in the homes o f our American people. There is no question but that this is so. The only way to correct this evil is to be gin where it is. and change things at the very source of our national life. In the reformation* o f the pact the most effective thing that was done was for some person or persons who saw what was needed, to step out into the open, declare their pur pose. and thus become leaders in bringing about the needed changes. So it is today. If the men o f this communitywho tee where they have failed in the home life, will take a bold stand for the old fashioned ; Christian home, where the Bible and I isn’t the only reason H why housewives take such a —^ natural pride in their electric ranges. “E C O N O M Y I It’ s one of the practical reason*, of course — like the quick, clean, electrical heat, the freedom from fuel and ashes, the better roasts and baking. Money Talks in Every But after all, these might be a mun’s rea sons for equipping his home with an elec tric range. W om an’ s reasons go deeper. If you wish to see what eve re woman thinks o f clean, convenient, efficient electrical appliances throughout the home, notice the pride with which she says, “ M Y elec tric range.” Language Also, you I ist s more m on ey if yon lot it tolls— b y g o in g to the place where you ca n save more o f it on yo u r repair bill.
