1rA SERMON TO HUSBANDS

We are not a minister or evenK

the son of a minister so pardon us

if we make a dismal failure in ourfirst attempt to preach a sermon

you will find our text in the Bible

It is not necessary to live thef

chapter and verse but look for itYi tIn brief it is this Spend some of 1

rsyour evenings at home with youriwifc and children If you have an

amiable gentle wife surely yourhome must be a pleasant one but ifreasonslen who knows but a little more at-

tention or kindness on your partimight do a great deal towards thejreturn of the amiability you soImuch admired in her girlhood Ifyou would stay at home oftenerevenings treating her with some ¬

thingof the old tenderness makingher believe at least that you artnot jvholly indifferent to her happiness you would soon see a changefor the better in your household

I

She has not forgotten the time ii

you have not very long ago per ¬

haps when her society wa all you

F asked for to make time long eveningspass delightfully away Loving youas Bhe did she would have gone onthrough life in the same quiet waycontented and happy Butalasyou soon grew tired of the sameroom evening after evening thesame easy chair and the saddest o

all weary of the society of yourwifeimpatient of the restraints o

home longing for a change So youspend your evenings away meetingmany gay companionable fellows r

who entertain you with wit songand wine a and you fancy yourselldelighted and charmed Perhapsthere arc moments of reflectionwhen conscience seems whisperingto you of the pure holy influences

tf home which you have so reckless

ly and unfeelingly cast away from

you Your lonely wife sits by th e

fireside watching and waiting fo

your return through the hours thateagerlH t

sound fearing she knows not whitti yet conscious always of thee rv

h artncheEhnt Steins wearing herlife away

Evening after evening she watchesyour preparations for departurehoping meanwhile you willrelentandstay at home with her Hutyou hastily don your lint and coatturning yonr back resolutely to-

wards¬

her fearing to encounter thatgaze of wistful entreaty for youknow she is watching you with

tears silently rolling down her pal e

checks You know itetill you d

not think best to notice it for youdislike a scene Tears annoy youexceedingly so you close tile doorperhaps with a bang trying herto feel very indignant towards herfor daring to weep even behindyour back So the lonely wifebrushes away the falling tears andsits down with bitterness in her
