(CHRISTIAN homes dont Juat
happen. They have to be
made; and It takea all the mem-
ber* of the family to make them.
They cannot be made by par-
ent* alone, no matter how *ood
and well-intentioned the parents
may be. Some parents have as-
tumed. or have acted as If they
a •turned, that if they loved their
children enough, and did enough
for them, all would be well. They
discovered too late, and often
through tragedy, that they had
lost out, and that their children
had not reacted as they ought to
have reacted to kindness and
devotion.
' Children need discipline and
training, as well as affection and
devotion. They need to learn te
bear the burdens and responsi-
bilities that will be theirs when
they grow up,' and it is no kind-
ness to shield them from every-
thing hard or unpleasant.
Sharing ought to be the spirit
and practice of home life Chil-
dren ought to be trained to un-
derstand, and do their part in
solving the problems of the
home The money given them,
the clothes they wear, the food
they eat. the house they live in
must come from the wages of the
father or mother Unless a child
•s made to understand this, he
may grow up to think of his par-
ents only as providera, who
hand out everything he asks for.
TOE spirit of demanding, rather
I4 than that of giving, may eas-
ily become the dominant char-
acteristic of children who grow
up in a home where parents are
thoughtlessly generous, often
handing out because of selfish
children the things they can ill
afford And the worst of such a
situation comes later in life.
yhen the children, grown u-<
for the
exigencies of life on their own.
Helping ought to be s part of
ovary well-regulated Christian
home. Little duties should be
aasigned to, and done by all
Here, too, training for the future
is all-important. The child wh«

do not always do things readil)
or willingly, and'the parent un-
der such circumstances is
tempted to say, "It's more bother
than It's worth; 111 do it my-
self." But that is a mistake.
For the sake of the child and
hia future it is worth while to
take pains and trouble enough to
train him to do things, and in
moat caaaa he will learn to do
things willingly, or as a matter,
of normal duty.
THW things are inherent in
1 the Christian way. and they
are important factors in a happy
heme. Love implies mutual re-
lationships and obligations. A
home in which love is one-sided
is off-balance. Love. too. implies
a willingness to besr and for-
bear Paul says in the Scripture
for our lesson, "Love suffereth
long and is kind." One ought to
note how much the Bible has to
say about such things ss pa-
tience, forbearance, longsuffer-
inc. endursnce, etc.
The test of love is in the trials
and hard things of life, snd
these are not avoidable in the
home. In fact, the home which
can be the place of the flnest re-
lationships. and consequent hap-
piness, can be the place of the
worst of irritations and frictions.
I have heard of a man who
added to the words, "There's no
place like home," the fervent
ejaculation, "Thank Cod. there
isn't" Homes can be hell, in^
stead of heaven. But homes can
