Canadzfs Greatest Need

Preaching in St. James Church on Sunday forenocn, Rev. Dr. Keir Fraser, Alberton, delivered an. ex- cellent and timely sermon on "Can- ada's Grciitest -Need - Christian Homes." Taking as his text, Dent. s, verses 8-7, Dr. Fraser spoke as loilows:

We hear a great deal today about revivals. The word has become a commonplace. And what I want to do this morning is to emphasize the revival which, in my Judgment, the world needs the most. You may nct perhaps sgr c with me. but I am sum you w give me a respectiul hearing.

And first oi all I want to say that the revival society most needs today is not a revival or trade.

That, I believe, is coming, and I also believe that when it does conic it will not be an unmixed blessing. Commercial prosperity never has been. and never can be, the great- est good in a nation's liie.

Nor is the revival that society most needs a. revival oi good govern- merit.

That too is coming. Everywhere, in all countries, there is increasing evidence oi the fact that people are getting tired of being boss-ridden and ring-ruled and monopoly-cursed. But society needs more than civic reform. _

Nor is the revival society most neefi today s. revival oi physical surroundings-oi what we call eug- enim.

That too is important. The body is holy. but it still remains s fact that man merely hss s body while he is s. soul.

Nor is the revival society most needs the revival oi philanthropy.

Philanthropy is certainly in a‘ state of revival. The agents oi multi-miilionsires are searching the earth for, some new scheme oi hu- man betterment into which to put the millions their employers cannot ierry with them across the river Styx. And it is a hopeful sign that people are beginning to realize that the only way in which they can take their money with them into the next world is to use it to help others in this world. And yet it remains that humanity has interests more sacred than those represented by philan-

thropy. .

Neither is the revival that society most needs today an educational revival.

Education, is .a favorite word to- day. it can have almost anything it asks ior. The‘ mammoth sums put into educational enterprises, during the last twenty years break previous records. The state legisla- Lures across the line are almost

emptying their tressuries to build up their big universities. And we ought to he glad oi this. Education deserves all it is getting, and yet educatio is not the final word in civilization.

Nor is the revival most needed to- day a revival of personal salvation.

Certainly there-is desperate need of such a revival, because there can be no hope ci any permanent im- provement i.n iety that does not take into account the ‘tremendous influence which only the church can wield. And yet there is somethiw better than the church.

Nor is the revival most need today s revival of personal salvation.

Thst Mo is essential because there is no hope, oi s social millcneurn that leaves out oi account the salva- tion of the individual. .But there is something more iundamental than even tho kind o! revival which reaches the unchurched and brings the individual into the kingdom.

The revival society most needs to- day is the revival of arr institution which is older than all these, which is more important than .-.rry and all oi them combined, and which if al- lowed to decline, will seal the doom oi human progress. I reier to "The Home."

The revival society most needs to- day is s revival oi the Christian home. Some oi you will possibly challenge this tesnent. It sounds extremef It is a strong statement. but r believe it, and I believe r have abundant reasons ior believing it.

Int us look at these dific t in- terests I have mentioned, a oi which are important.

(l) The interests of the home are more important than the inter- ests of trade.

» I tell you men and women you hsve sold out, and have sold to the lowest bidder, when you sacrifice home Joys sud home ssnotltles ior the money god. And this is what many are doing. They are money- msd. There are, men who

chase ior dollars that they hsve actually bscoliis strangers to their own horns. Their own children scarcely know them. And when the ehsse is ovcr what hsve they gain- ed? What it profit a man ii he gain the whole world and lose his horrid?‘ Yonder is s msn who has

all sympathy. The ideals should be the

to the bad. I-Ie is s poor iool ii he would not gladly swap every dollar in have his boy safe and clssn and happy. ,

(2) Again the government oi the home is more important than the government oi the country simply because the government oi the home is essential to good national govern- merit.

You cannot make good citizens out oi people who have never been taught obedience. We are all chock- ed at the conditions oi lawlessness that prevail today.» But there is nothing accidental about it. It is a growth. It had its origin in the home. We have been growing a generation who have never learned to respect authority. And what do laws mean to people who have sl- ways? been used to having their own way (3) Again, and the sanctity of the home is more important than all the questions about eugenics oi which we hear so much today, because i! the homes had been christian the problem oi eugenics would, never have arisen. People are talking to- day about saieguarding the marri- age relations with a physical exam- ination. Why? Because the marri- age relation has been so abused that society is paying the price. We rnust begin further back than r. physical examination ii race purity is to be achieved. We must begin by in- culcatlng into the mind oi’ the child the ideals oi a pure heart and a clean mind. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart irom it." It is something to say to a moral leper: "You shall not breed your kind." It is iar saner to prevent the production oi moral lcpers. And this is the lfusiness oi the Christian home.

(4) Again. the devotion of the home is a iiner thing than philan- thropy.

Now, don't misunderstand me. Our benevolent work is splendid. It hss had an amazing growth. But this. to s, large extent, hss been made necessary by the failure of an cldsr institution to do its work. If there had been better homes there would have been less need oi benevolent institutions. And I don't cm how good an institution is, it: csn never be as good as a home, and can never take the place oi a home.

(5) And the interests of the home are-higher than the interests of the school.

Oi course in a sense they are iden- tical and should work in perfect

same. Thatietoceywhonachild leaves home ior school it should not be T ‘l-d to change moral at- mpheres. The zones, ii I may so speak, shoud be the same. Because if the ideals oi the school are hostile to the ideals of the home, ii the child ~18 untallght at school what it has been taught st home, then the school is a peril. . You have a child growing up whom you purpose sending oii to school one oi’ these days. Whst kind of a school is it that you have in mind? Do you know anything about its moral and religious iniiu- cnce? Do you core anything about this ieature oi it’! Or are you go- ing to be iooled by the so-callcd finishing features it cflers, while it leaves out oi account God and teaches your child snobbery, and what is worse-irrelilion?

(c) Again, the revival of tbs home is more important than the rcvivsl of the church.

The home is older than the church. Furthermore. it lies at the ioundation oi the church. No re- vival in the church gets iarienough which does not aiioct the home. The church is the most important in- stitution in the world except one. It is more important than the shop or the school or the state, but it is not as important as the home. The character of the church is iixed by the home. And" there is not much iuture. ior any church which does not have behind itssltsr s iireside. (7) Once more, the revival oi the home is of more concern than per- sonal salvation, ior the simple res- son that the cause always precedes the results.

It is important to convert people, to get them saved, but ii this change is to come at the best time-and in nine csses out oi ten st the only tlme-and if it is to produce the best res “ Jtwillbebccsuseoftheholy iniluerlces wielded by a godly father and s pious mother in s Christian home.

high acct oi living, the rush oi mod- ern l e, the numerous iads which claim our time, the speed mania, the dance mania, tbs recreation mania. are sll s terrible menace to the quiet and simplicity without which true horns liie hasn't the ghost oi a chance.

'I‘he unity oi the home is very diiiicult to maintain today. Ire- member that when I wss s boy the table used to be thesocisl centre where all the family met at meal time, but today they straggle in as the demands of social or other en- gagements will permit. Thus what used to be the bond in the common life oi the home is broken.

But I am speaking oi the Christ- ian home. and there the situation is

worse.

in order to make myself clear, I am going to give you three eviden- ccs-st least to me evidences-oi the decline oi the home.

(l) 'I‘he iirst is a growing lack oi regard for the sanctity oi the marri- age vow. ,

Marriage is not s sacrament but it is sacred. And yet it is being rear- fuliy cheapened today. It is not only entered into lightly but it is lightly set aside. Marriage is a moral act. made so by God. and hulnsn law can never make moral what divine law has made immoral. Public sent- iment on this subject here in Can- ada is much higher than in the US. There conditions are such as to shock us. They have reached the dregs. They arc indecent. But even with us the conditions are such u to cause slsrrn. They indicate s de- cline oi the Christian home. Bl- cause ii there is one thing that Christianity has always stood (or it is the sanctity oi marriage.

m Then secondly there is s de- cline o! parental authority today.

'I'he first lesson that any oi us needs to learn is that there is such s thing ss authority in the world- and that we must all submit to authority. And i! this is not taught in the home, where csn it be taught? And what is the situation in the average home today?

Well, so isr as I can see, parental authority is a Joke. And this is where our law-breakers are znsdc. A few weeks ago some boys were arr-signed beiore one of our police judges on s criminal charge. Listen to the comment oi a secular paper m the circumstance: "Judge beiore whom the boys were arraigned, ai- firmcd that behind and beneath the ugly problems which are constantly beiorcthe Juvenile couri-l. I! W11 as other coirrts, is that o1 pernicious home influence. He charges parents with s. disregard oi parental duty, and sn almost criminal carelessness as to where their children are and what they are doing. And he hinted that it was reslly the fathers and mothers of the boys who were in the dock."

This lack oi authority in the home is s bad thing for the parents, but it is worse for the children, because there is trouble ahead ior any boy or girl who hss not learned to res- pect authority.

(S) Then the third evidence of the decline of the Christian home thst I have in mind is the decline in re- ligious instruction.

The most important element o! the Christian home, in my judg- ment, is the atmosphere of rever- ence. It is to the soul what sun- light is to the flower. No child's soul hss a fair chance who is not taught prayer and the great truths about God and the future life.

What is the religious liie oi your_ home? You provide well for the physical wants oi your children. Arc you making any provision ior their spiritual wants? Ii not you are sending them out on s hopeless journey.

Is a blessin asked st your table‘! It may take only hsli s. dozen sec- onds, but it is more important than all the conversation thst takes place afterwards.

Have you s. family sitar? If you care anything for your children be- ware of a prsyerless home. We wonder st some oi the things which are happen‘ today. We should stop wondering. The things we de- plore hsve their calls in godless

homes.

Before I close, I want to ssy in a word or two, three things.

(l) The first is this‘. The Christ- isn house is needed today ior the ssh of the nation.

We Canadians hsve some gust battles to iight during the next isw years. We must have leaders who possess to stsnd up sgsinso Pflvllesc; and citiseas whose ideals
