When Souls Are Saved
There never was a spirit-tilled
church but that there were souls
saved for the kingdom.—J. E. Suter.
\XTHEN we examine the balance
▼ V siieet of a bank we find upon the
side of liabilities an account called
“Reserve.” The money invested Iti
this account is held for purposes of
emergency. It is an amount set aside
out of the yearly earnings to weather
any financial storm that might come.
With a sufficiently large reserve ac-
count a bank protects its depositors
and is able to avail Itself of a much
larger credit than it could possibly
command without that security. A
“reserve” is Indispensable to the finan-
cial success of any business enterprise.
The absence of this reserve has
caused many a financial wreck and
business failure.
In the world of moral values a “re-
serve” Is as indispensable a factor as
It is in the business world. It Is a
balance of reserve power on the right
side of the moral ledger that enables
one to overcome many a difficulty and
I. The Importance of the Home.
The oldest and most Important in-
stitution in the world is the family.
It is the foundation stone upon which
all other institutions are built. In
the measure that the home is kept
pure and strong will the church, so-
ciety and the nation be pure and
strong.
II. The Makers of the Home.
The foundation upon which
home is built is marriage, and the
makers of the home are ttie man and
the woman united in holy wedlock.
III. The Obligations of the Members
of the Home.
1. The husband (Eph. 5:25-32).
(1) The husband is to love his wife
(v. 25). Observe—
a. The measure of this love is the
love of Christ for His church. Christ
loved the church so that He gave
Himself for it. His was a self-empty-
ing love. The obligation enjoined then
on the husband is to manifest that
self-emptying love toward his wife.
b. The purpose of this love (vv. 20,
27).
The purposer of the husband’s self-
emptying love Is the perfection of his
wife’s character.
c. The ground of this love (vv.
28-30).
After ail, the ground of the hus-
band’s iove for his wife is his own
self. He that loveth his wife lovetb
himself.
(2) The husband is to be joined
unto his wife (v. 31).
When the time comes for a man to
establish a home, he leaves his father
and mother and is joined to his wife.
This results in the creation of the new
unity of society.
2. The wife (Eph. 5:22-24).
She is to be subject to her own hus-
band. This Is not an arbitrary mat-
ter, but It Is ncpording to the divine
.arrangement. It is to be “as unto the
Lord.” It is Important to inquire as
to what kind of subjection is enjoined.
In order to understand this, -we must
grasp the figure which the apbstle in-
troduces of Christ and the church.-
Ch'rist’s loving the church is without
ulterior motive, as true love “seeketh
not its own.” Since Christ gave Him-
self for the church. He thus lifted the
church into union with Himself and
became to it Lord in the power of
His love.' The church responds to this
love by lovingly recognizing the Lord-
ship of Christ. Just as the church
graciously comes under the guidance
and direction of Jesus Christ does the
wife respond to the love of her hus-
band. Headship of the man is the
divine order. Headship never sug-
gests “boss-ship” nor governorship.
Observe with reference to this sub-
jection—
(a) The motive (v. 22).
the Lord.”
(b) The ground (v. 23). “The hus-
band is the head of the wife.”
(c) The extent of (v. 24).
everything."
3. The children (G:l-3). ,
The divine purpose in the union of
the male and the female in the bonds
of holy wedlock is the propagation of
the race. When God pronounced His
benediction upon the first pair He
said, “Be fruitful and multiply.”
(1) Obedience to parents (v. 1).
The ground of this obedience is the
fact that the parents stand in the
place of God to the child.
(2) Honor the parents (v. 2).
Obedience to parents Is limited to
the period of immaturity. When the
children take their place in the estab-
lishment of new units in society they
are no longer under obligation to obey
their parents. Two gracious promises
are attached to this commandment,
that it may be well with thee and
that thou mayest live long on the
earth.
4. The parents (v. 4).
Doubtless the word “fathers* was
Intended to be inclusive of the "moth-
ers.”
(1) Provoke not your children to
wrath.
This doubtless m^ans that In the ex-
ercise of parental authority there
should be avoidance of irritation.
(2) To bring them up in the nur-
ture and admonition of the Lord.
Nurture doubtless means to educate
and admonition means discipline.

successfully encounter many moral
struggles. When the opportunity pre-
sents itself for one to violate a code
of business ethics and tlie path of
least resistance seems very easy, the
issue is determined wholly upon the
power one possesses to say no. Should
the power of resistance be at a low
ebb the moral code is violated. If on
the other hand a sufficient amount of
strength can be summoned to meet the
attack, the answer, nine cases out of
ten, will be a refusal to yield. This
factor which determines one’s decision
in the realm of moral values is not
instantaneously created. It is an as-
set In one’s moral world which has
been enlarging as the months and
years furnished opportunities for stor-
ing away moral reserve strength. The
larger the reserve the more success-
fully and easily are the moral depres-
sions met and mastered.
A bank accumulates its reserve ac-
count gradually. It Is created out of
earnings. A moral reserve may be the
growth of years. Out of one’s daily
experience is built up the moral re-
serve account in the trial balance of
life, without which no person can be
morally solvent.
