APPEAL VOICED
FOR FAMILY LIFE
Solemn 'Warning to America Sounded.
Report to Church.
New York, July 19,-4ttering a "sol
emn warning to the men and women
of America," that "this nation will
decay and flally perish when Ameri
can homes cease to revere God," the
relort of the tioint conmission on
home and family life, which will !be
)resented to the-triennial general con
vention of the EpiscopiaI church meet
-ing in Portland, Oregon, September 6
next, has been made public.
"Advanced culture (lid not save past
civilization, did not prevent Germany
plunging into a gulf of infamy. Upon
Amcrica's consecration to God depends
her fate," says the report, which con
tains an exhaustive study of social and
4ndiustrial. conditions in the United
States with particular reference to
home life.
The commission was appointed 'by
the Episcopal general convention six
years ago, and includes in its person
nel sonie of the most distinguished of
the bishops, clerical and lay members
of the church. Among other subjects
which are frankly treated are those of
marriage, divorce and birth control.
The report contains a strong recom
mendatlon against the latter. The
Rev. Charles Noyes Tyndell, S. T. D.,
of Williamsport, 1Pa., secretary of the
commission, in transmitting the report,
says that the whole effort of the com
mission has been to present to the
country a vital message in as concise
form as possible.
"Even a cursory glance at conditions
in the average American home reveals
evidence sufficient to warrant the most
careful study of those influences now
affecting these homes from the stand
point of morals and religion," the re
port continues. "The attitude toward
youth, evenl more than the attitude of
the youth, will scarcely bear severe
scrutiny.
"We touch the root of our family
problelm when we ivoint to the lack
of religion in the home. It is paralyz
Ing to think of the average American
ramily going on from the rising to the
retiring hour as if God had no exist
ance. Sunday is a day for extra sleep,
notoring, Sunday papers in many vol
lines, comic supplements. If Amer
!an children are not to bo taught of
lod in the schools, and He is unnamed
n the home, what 'canl we expect but
hat at this moment the 'United States
s actually developing into a non
Ahristian nation?"
Touching upon 'domestic life in
0merica, the report says:
"Where family lfe is dishonored,
vedding uinfaithfulness lightly regard
d, parental responsibility neglected,
ilhal resoect and obedience slighted,
here, we may be sure, society ig rot
en at the core. We tremble for. the
nture of a state or nation where lax
licories concerning domestic life gain
round. Even laxer practice will cer
linly prevail.
"The Viemedy for the frightful dis
alutioN of the marriage tie going on
1 America andi its inevitable conse
uence of race suicidle is to be foundl
Christian training alone. Rleme
mal legislation while imposing difil
titles .in the way of easy annulment
aes ont go to thme root of the evil,
attacks many outward symptoms of
to disease and is of undoubted value,
it it (does not dlestr'oy the germ of
e evil or cure it at its source.
"Iboys andl girls must be0 taught as
tyas possible that the chief Ipur
)5e of marriage is the lperpetuation
the race, involving the begetting
md education of children for the :work
'the wvorld. Marriage is a high and
>ly vocation because the married pair
'c cooperting with the Creator in
e continuance of the hutman race.
"This commiss-ion hca rtily indorses
e warning uttered by the great Lam
th conference of bishops, gathered
Dm all over the world in London in

avoidance of coneciptioni as in
