HOME INFLUENCES
“The church, the world itself, is just what the Home is,” said Professor M. E. Kern at an Auckland meeting. He said the home was the foundation of society. In an interview, Judge Lindsey told him the failure of the world ; was the failure of fatherhood and j motherhood. The first impressions were the most lasting impressions, and what was put into the first of life was put into all the life. The atmosphere of love in a home made it a safe place in which to train children. A true home, where love lived and reigned and trained, did not come by accident: it was the product of Christianity. Husband and wife should share the joys, the sorrows, and the salary. With reference to training children, the lecturer said: “Be what you want your children to be.” He advised parents to associate with their children in their play, in their work, and in their worship. One of the greatest problems of parenthood was the proper balancing of the two influences of authority and affection.
