students in the school of which the lecturer is 
President: 
“The integrity of the home is progress, 
power and influence. English-speaking peo¬ 
ple have the truest homes In the world, but 
they can be made better. Duties that are 
looked upon merely as duties, are not truly 
done, so in the home there must be a love for 
duties. When we come to the point that 
every law of God is a blessing, and the rich¬ 
est, sweetest blessing, we will be nearing the 
ideal He would have us reach. 
The home is worthy of study, the duties of 
the husband are worthy of the study of every 
young man here. They are duties that build 
up the character. The man in the home 
ought to be the wisdom, the energy, the 
strength, and the business power. Ho ought 
to provide for his family and provide for the 
unnecessary desires of the family, as well as 
for the necessities. A ‘ good provider ’ is 
generally a good husband. The man who 
doles out his money grudgingly, with frowns 
and ugly remarks about extravagance, ought 
to be trounced. Abundant, generous, full- 
hearted provision should be made for the 
wants of the family. Provide generously, 
nobly, joyfully. ‘Those who stay by the 
stuff ’ deserve half the spoils, as much now 
as m Bible times. 
I know men who give the purse to the wife 
or give her an ample allowance. The wife 
has a right to a certain definite share of the 
earnings and the husband does wrong who 
does not recognize this. I knew of a man of 
wealth who invested his money here and 
there, but a panic coming, financial failure 
stared him in the face. He went to his wife, 
heavy-hearted, and told her of his embarass- 
ment and she loaned him $1,500, saved from 
her allowance during years ot his generous 
providing, and he was saved from bankrupt¬ 
cy. I once sat day after day at the table of 
a man who every time we sat down grunted 
and groaned about something—the steak was 
tough, the potatoes were not dry, everything 
"•as wrong, he was always finding fault. 
You may be a good provider in cheerfulness 
or a good provider in niggardliness of spirit. 
The husband must be kind, considerate, 
demonstrative, appreciative. The home is 
the place for reciprocal service. The best 
gift God can give us is to permit us to work 
for God’s cause; but, next to this, lies the 
blessing of working for the home. The young 
man plunning for a home is ready to promise 
everything. 
How is it after marriage? The man has 
power to make his wife’s life utterly wretch¬ 
ed by criticism, sarcasm, fault-finding and 
snarling. Turn this right around, friends; 
praise the steak, say: ‘How good this coffee 
is: I gue ! s it is bpcause you made it.’ 
One of the perils connected with the home 
is Utter selfishness, usually on the part of the 
husband, but sometimes on the part of the 
wife. But the latter sort of selfishness dorsn’t 
occur once in 10,000 times as often as the 
former. If both are selfish; then what? 
Neither is willing to give up anything, and 
they think each other unpardonably selfish. 
Oh, I’ve seen it so many times! 
Want of home liking, home love want of 
the feeling that home is the best place on 
earth, is too common. Too many men look 
on home as a place where they can get their 
meals and which they can get away from. 
Clubs and secret societies take away the 
beauty of home. 
Another peril to the home is worry—busi¬ 
ness worry. A man who is amassing a for¬ 
tune is in danger of carrying his business 
worries to his home and pouring out all the 
gall of his spirit on his wife, and he expects 
her to take it and be cheerful and sweet and 
charming. 
Temper is another peril. A vigorous person 
is a man or woman of passion. If you are 
that sort, put yourself under control; hold 
yourself; you are simple and weak and silly 
iu giving way to temper, and you may wreck 
the structure you have promised to perfect. 
You can, every one of you, make a heaven of 
your home. Let each determine that it shall 
be the best home he, with all his powers, is 
capable of making. Every true mau and 
woman cherishes the hope and desire of being 
at some time a part of a true home. Prepare 
yourselves to make such a home and to cher¬ 
ish it above your own life.” 
Though this Is not the entire lecture it con¬ 
tains in a measure the spirit of the whole. It 
is often urged by the President that reading 
is one of the delights and safeguards of a 
home. He says, “ Good reading in the homo 
gives health, mental power, respectability, 
growth in influence aud power. Good books 
are the life of the mental system.” Believing 
that the readers of the Rural are people who 
appreciate and love their homes, aud that they 
will lie strengthened iu their efforts to make 
home moro beautiful by President Holbrook’s 
vigorous thoughts, 1 have given the gist of 
them above. ALICE UBQVYN.
