About This Book

A compact collection of sermons, anecdotes, prayers, and terse sayings built around a dramatic conversion account and practical moral instruction. The pieces address family and motherhood, courtship and marriage, social amusements such as dancing, gambling, and theatre, and critiques of hypocrisy, spiritualism, and nominal religion. Interwoven are vivid recollections, Bible exposition, exhortations to repentance and steadfast faith, and homiletic advice for personal conduct and public testimony. The material favors direct, anecdotal argumentation intended to move listeners toward moral reform and committed Christian practice.

SUNDAY KNOCKS OUT SOME “HOME” RUNS.
On Training Children at Home.

Blood tells: the time to start training the boy right is seventy-five years before he is born.

The reason there are so many nickel theatres and hell-holes in the wall is because the home is not made attractive enough to retain the boy and girl.

Of all the devil-inspired sentences this is the limit: “Children should be seen and not heard.”

The biggest mistake we ever made was to take from the teachers the right to lick the kids.

I believe the downfall of most men and women can be traced to some defect in the home.

A home must be something more than four walls and a roof.

The biggest monstrosity God ever looked at is the mother with her children playing about her feet and they not getting an inspiration of Jesus.

We’re neglecting the home for the club, the lodge, the card party, the literary society and the social function.

If a firm advertised for a bookkeeper it would expect something else than just a man on legs; something else than just a slot machine to shove its salary into every Saturday night.
