Slays Good Home-Making
Involves the High Arts
Chlcajgo, In keeping with the rest of
the United States, Is turning Its atten
tion to the national movement for bet
ter homes. Various women's clubs and
other social agencies, in programs and
other forms of service, are teaching
the lessons of "better homes, better
citizen^"
Attractive homes that add to the
comfort of adults and provide Interest
ing surroundings for adolescent and
juvenilfe members of the household are
fundamental requisites for happy fam
ilies, according to the originators of the
movement.
Hentjirik Van Loon in his history of
mankind, after reviewing all the
phases ? of statecraft, Industry and re
ligion that have influenced the making
of our?race and civilization what it is
today, and after recording the Influence
of various leaders in military, scientific
and literary achievements, sayp Rem
brandt, Beethoven and Bodin are the
, prophets and leaders of the race.
"A world without art and happiness
is like a nuVsery without laughter." In
other words, art in its various forms
has been the liberator of the race. No
civilization can exist without art. But
of all the various phases of art, that
of the small house and Its contents and
surroundings Is most difficult to
achieve, yet most vital to a happy life
and a satisfactory community or na
tion.
A beautiful home has the power to
attract? attention, Improve conduct,
compel respect, bind families and
friends' together, form communities,
found states and create nations. Men
and women reared in and among beau
I tiful homes acquire good taste from
them and seldom if ever do a very
ugly thing. Good home-making In
volves all tlie high arts and produces
the most happiness for us all.
The small homes are Just as Impor
tant ojr more Important than large^
homes from a moral, economic and pa
trloticlboint of view. The building of
homes is a matter of most vital con
cern to the welfare of a nation.
Homeless citizens and families, wheth
er rich! or poor, are not potentially the
best cltizcns.
A citizen with a rent receipt and
a foreigner with a passport have sim
ilar uninterested and irresponsible
mental attitudes toward the commfl
nity, town or state.
- jl Cost of Home
The value of the house and lot par
chased for a home by the typical
American family lies between one and
two-thirds and two and a half times
the family's annhal income at the time
of purchase, realtors throughout the
National Association of Ileal Estate
Boards and their clients, the army
of home buyers nationally, will learn
with ejqual interest. The kind of home
any gjven family expects to own will
be found to have a value just about
double?' the amount of the family's ln
coBie for a year. Statement of what
investigation finds to be ih* prevailing
proportion of home purchase price to
annua), family income for the United
States is given by the division of build
ing aijid housing of the United States
Department of Commerce In a recent
pamphlet entitled "How to Own Your
Home^ in the compilation of which
the National Association of Real Es
tate Boards assisted.
"If a certain family pays a sixth of
its income for rent, it may be able to
devote] one-fourth or more to buy
ing and maintaining a house, for the
amount thus used may include both
rent and savings," the government
housing authorities advise the would
be home buyer. "Rent or payments
on a & home may require anywhere
from one-eighth to one-third of the
family income, depending cn the spe
cial circumstances in each case."

1. A Synopsis of the Book of Judges.
This book covers the period from
the conquest of Canaan and the death
of Joshua to the judgeship of Samuel.
The teacher should master the con
tent of ther book In order to teach this
lesson, especially chapters 2-16.
L The Sin of the People (Judg. 2:6
13). While Joshua and the elders of
his generation lived, the people In
some measure remained faithful to
God, In obedience to His Word, but
the very next generation went Into
apostasy. Their degradation may be
accounted for as follows :
(1) Failure to drive out the Canaan
Ites from their midst. They had
gained the victory over them, but
failed to exterminate them. Their mis
taken tolerance became their undoing.
(2) Their amalgamation with the
Canaanltes. They Intermarried with
the heathen. Tolerance of the enemy
Is closely followed by union there
with and quick disaster comes In the
wake of snch union. _
(8) Idolatry. Intermarriage with
the heathen was soon, followed by tlje
worship of the heathen's gods. Gocfs
people lose power over the world as
soon as they make alliance with It.
2. God's Judgment for Their Sins
(Judg. 2:14, 15). He delivered them
into the hands of "the spoiler that
spoiled them."
3. The Repentance of the People
(Judg. 3:9). Under the yoke of thelfr
enemies they learned their folly and
cried unto the Lord for deliverance.
4. God's Deliverance at the Hand of
the Judges (Judg. 2:1S-19). God heard
their cries and by raising up military
chieftains as Judges he saved them out
of the hands of their enemies. A
repetition of sin, oppression by too
enemy, repentance on the part of the
people and God's deliverance, const!
Ltute the story of the book of Judges. i
It. The Victory of Gideon's Band
(Judg. 7:1-23).
Gideon was the most outstanding ef -
the Judges. He came from an ob
scure and uninfluentiai family (0 :15).
Before going forward he wishes to be
doubly sure (6:36-40). When once he
was convinced of duty, he was coura
geous and enthusiastic. This is char
acteristic of all truly great men.
;.l. The Opposing Army (v. 1). Old
eon and hit army rose early on that
eventful day and they came by the
spring of Harod. Over against them
was the host of the Mldianltes In bat
tle array.
f X The Sifting of Gideon's Army
?w. 2-8), At Gideon's call 32,000 men
responded, ready for the struggle. This
seemed a small army to go against the
Ifldlanlte army, 185,000 strong, bat
0od said this was too many, lest they
be led to boasting and self-confidence.
The real danger was not in their small
army but in their pride. All that were
afraid were allowed to go back, leav
ing only 10,000. Still this was too
many. When God was through sifting;
Anly 300 remained.
,;8. Godv Gives Encouragement to
Gideon. He bade Gideon go down to
the Mldlanlte camp, where he would
hear something that would cheer bis
heart and strengthen his hand. When
he came near he heard a man telling
a dream, which was that, of a barley
cake tumbling Into the camp and smit
ing It He also heard the interpreta
tion given to the dream which made
Gideon to be that cake.
4. God Gives Victory to Gideon (rr.
16-23). His attack was unique. The'
whole matter was of faith (Heb. 11 :32),.
Gideon with his 300 men formed Into
three companies, each man being pro
vided with a trumpet and a lamp con
cealed within a pitcher. Thus armed
they surrounded the camp of the Ml
dianltes. They were all instructed to
keep their eyes upon their leader and
Imitate him. At the proper moment
they blew their trumpets and broke
their pitchers, giving opportunity for
the lamps to shine out This awful
crash of broken pitchers, following the
sound of trumpets, accompanied by the
shout, "The sword of the Lord and of
Gideon," threw the Mldianltes Into ii
panic, causing them to fight among
themselves. One hundred and twenty
thousand were thus slain, leaving but
15,000 of that mighty army (Judg. /
8 :10). . _ .
