Mothers Who Are Men-Makers
A good mother has something to do with making a man anything he is of any character or usefulness. Happy the boy who had such a mother! Happy the mother who has a boy so appreciative of his mother's formative influence!
1927 The Concordia Cyclopedia
Birth Control
The Bible very emphatically does not sanction movements of this kind. One of the objects of marriage is the procreation of children, and this cannot be set aside by whim or selfishness. Christians must become more and more conscious of the grandeur and prerogative of marriage and of offspring in marriage.
1923 Walter A. Maier Walther League Messenger
The Christian and His Home
If the story of the Cross of Jesus finds an abiding place in any home, that family is indeed blessed and endowed with the power that makes this life of ours really worth living. Such a home will have Christ the Glory of time, the Crown of eternity.

Prevention of Pregnancy
How can such hearts be graced with faith and fear of the Lord and with the mind of a child of God? How can God’s blessing rest upon such a home? We verily believe that God’s wrath hovers there.

Whom Shall I Marry?
Our characters are insensibly moulded by those with whom we pass our time. To none does this apply so much as to married people. Husbands and wives are continually doing either good or harm to one another's souls.
