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!

The Home

A home is the ante-room to heaven when those who abide in it dwell together in love, and walk together in the fear of God, the faith of Christ, and the fruit of the Spirit.

The Ideal Husband

Read again slowly and carefully the words of Paul. According to these words, the ideal husband is the Christian husband. The ideal husband is the man who knows his place in the home, loves his wife, keeps her, and cleaves unto her.

The Ideal Wife

When a Christian young man has such a wife for his spouse, namely, a Christian, home-loving young woman, he will live with her and with their children in a blessed and happy home, and marriage then will be what the Lord intended that it should be.

Save Our Schools: Our Homes Need Them

How much more reason have we to believe that supplemented with the care and love of Christian parents, our Lutheran schools will be a vital power in preserving the Christian home, in welding the family circle, and in strengthening the spirituality of our every day lives.
