V
A Lesson for the Week
Home Front Will Win or
Lose This Present War
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Through newspapers and radio, by posters and mass meetings and
sermons, North America daily is exhorted to activities essential to winning
the war—rationing of travel, of food and of luxuries, purchase of Defense
bonds, salvaging of scrap, writing of cheerful letters to servicemen, guard
ing one's war talk, activity in civil defense, etc.
All of these are important, and a clear patriotic duty. But outrank
ing tnem every one is the necessity
for building morale in the home. We
have seen nations collapse in a crisis
—as conspicuously in the case of
France—because the morals and
morale of the leaders and of the
people had decayed. While these
sophisticated nations fell, the peo
ples who were strongest in the do
mestic virtues have fought on fear
lessly, even though overrun by the
Hitler machine.
A nation strong in its home life is
utimately invincible. Our first and
last line of the national defense is
our homes—homes of unity and af
fection; homes where ideals are
taught and maintained; homes sus
tained bv the master motive of re
ligion.
An Ambition for Youth.
Mankind's earliest ambition is
taking on a new significance and
sanctity today. Primitive man was
primarily concerned with creating
and providing
for and defend
ing a family. His
home, though it
might be a cave
or a reed hut or
a skin tent, was
the center and
circumference of
his interest.
In our later
and more so
phisticated era,
other ambitions
have superseded
this earliest and
simplest one —
the desire to w T- eh>».
“succeed,” to make money, to estab
lish a “career” or to have “a good
time. Life has measurably decen
tralized from the home. The rush
to the movies, to the dance hall, to
the tap room, to the bridge party,
to the sports gatherings, has been a
phenomenon that has arisen within
the memories of most readers, j
Even old-fashioned hospitality, I
around the family dinner table,
has given way, in countless cases,
to entertainment of friends at res
taurants, hotels and clubs. Home
is the place to which people return
after an evening of entertainment
elsewhere.
Now, in the new and soberer
mood which war has induced, we
are viewing afresh th * significance
of home life. The homesickness of
our servicemen has helped. Young
persons are awaking to the truth
that mankind's oldest ambition is
still the best. To create a real
home, with all of its simple satis
factions, is a nobler aim than to
achieve fame or wealth. It calls for
a higher order of ability and de
votion than any other ob.iective.
All the talents that one may mas
ter are called forth in the achieve
ment of that supreme reward and
bliss, the establishment of a true
home. The most sacred institution
should command the most serious
thought.
More Important Than Housing.
War has created a grave housing
problem, and fresh attention to what
constitutes a fit human abode. But
far more imDortant is the problem
of making a true home that will
fulfill its first purpose of being the
basic unit of national life. It must
be a home where love reigns and
where life's noblest ideals are cher
ished. It should be a. place of hap
piness and merriment and shared
experiences. The topics of the
times should be intelligently dis
cussed. Tine cares of business should
be shut out. and intelligent atten
tion given to the establishment of
usages that minister to the highest
development of every member of
the family.
Strange and cruel though it seems.
:•
there are many households where
bickering and fault-finding prevail.
The best qualities are reserved for
“company manners.” In a home
the cult of courtesy should be defi
nitely and continuously developed.
Not all men treat their wives with
the consideration they show to other
women; and not all children are
trained to the little offices of polite
ness toward their parents.
A Place for Family Usages.
I once heard a young father say,
“We definitely try to build up a
set of family usages in our home
that make it distinctive, and that
always will remain in the memories
of our children. We take time for
games and for reading aloud. We
bar all disagreeable subjects from
the family table; instead, each
member of the family is expected
to bring his best joke to add to
the menu; and the children howl
down Daddy when he retells old
stories. Sometimes our table is a
riot of fun-making. We also keep
open house for guests whose per
sonality and conversation con
tribute to the knowledge and inter
est of the young folk. We vary
greatly the forms of ‘grace before
meat.’ It is good for children to
grow up with minds stored with
such reverent lines as;
“Be present at our table, Lord;
Be here and everywhere adored.
These mercies bless and grant that
we
May feast in Paradise with Thee.”
That Nazareth Home.
Mere furnishings do not make a
home. Fortunately, all prospects
are that simpler living will prevail
after the war, and our lives will be
less cluttered up with things. A
small house — and most of the
world's homes are small—may ex
press the personality of the owner as
no palace may do.
We may not forget, that the great- |
est Life ever lived on earth grew up :
in workingman's home in Nazareth.
And Oriental dwellings are far
simpler than those to which we are
accustomed. Jesus shared the tasks
of the home and of the carpenter
shop. His residence had no parlor
and none of the modern conven
iences. Yet in it,, under the influ
ence of Mother Mary and Father
Joseph and a large family of broth
ers and sisters, He learned the great
lessons of life. More great men have
come from humble homes than from
mansions.
At the neart of the Nazareth home
was religion. Pious observances
w-ere a part, of the daily routine.
The consciousness of God pervaded
and dominated the family, giving a
savor of holiness and loyalty to
everything.
Religion refines: that is why the
Scotch Cottar's elachan is an abode
of courtesy and hospitality. Emily
Post cannot, do as much for a fami
ly's manners as the Bible. Given a
household where every member seeks
to be well-pleasing unto God. vcfu
have a group that has learned t.hei
art of living successfully with others,
and to a high purpose. Patriots
and world-servants are developed in
the home where Christ is the ac
knowledged Head.
The Sunday achool lesson for
November 22 is "Motive* That
Strengthen Family Life"— Exo
dus, ii.1-5; Joshua, xxiv.14-15;
Ephesians, v.22-33; vi.1-4.
