ZMA M-me L3 4 emo-cmc FFHE HOME is the sacred sanctuary of all men, it is the supreme training school, it is a nation's bulwark. Here are taught the fundamentals of good citizenship and of true democracy. Faith acquired in the home can resist the greatest tC11'1pCStS that arise from without and from within. The word Udemocracyn means everything that makes life worth living, it means a flag that waves for freedom and for the peoplels rights, it means good churches and worshippers fortifying the nation by their prayers, it means unselfish leaders concerned, not with their own selfish interests, but with the progress of the whole, it means, most of all, good homes and happy families, fol- lowing the plans of Christ's Holy Fam- ily. A good mother can do more for Cod and for country than an army of men equipped with the best machin- ery and instructed with the newest army tactics, for it is to her that God gave the special blessings of gui- dance. The father, by his example, is the supreme sculptor of character and of lasting convictions. The parents alone can really make their children secure. Happiness and love are essen- tial to a family, for if there is love among all at home, we youth, the future citizens of America, will culti- vate a true feeling of brotherhood toward all men. The prayers and Christian ideals one has learned at a mothers knees are never forgotten. In- deed the saying is true, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Here, in the home one learns to respect anotheris property, and to place the welfare of his community before his own personal interests, then, as he grows older and enlarges his circle of friends and his sphere of activity, he discovers that his coopera- tion with authorities and yielding of opinion to the right-thinking majority is absolutely necessary to the progress of any movement or plan. Thus, in his own home, under a father's leadership and service, and a mother's love and devotion, the child receives Christian ideals, he gains the influence which is needed to promote democracy and stabilize citizenship, therefore, the home is the most important factor upon which democracy is founded, for only family life can give us the idea of perfect unity. XVe IHUSL keep before us as our one Supreme Head and Leader, Jesus Christ, for only with God can we preserve the freedom, liberty, and peaceful harmony of democracy so characteristic of OUR AMERICA!
