GOSPEL FOR -THE MASSES
irst of a Series of Sermons by Rev.
Warren G. Partridge.
JESUS' INFLUENCE IX THE HOME
That Was the Topic on Which Last Night's
Discourse Was Dased-Dcscriptton of
the Jewish Marriage Ceremony.
... Jesus Invited to Do l'rcscut.
Large a. idionces aricnbled at the
Penn Avenue Baptist church yesterday,
especially, In the evening, when the
first of the series of evangelistic ser
vices was held. Rev. Warren G.' Part
ridge preached the first of his series of
sermons on "The Gospel for the
Masses" at the evening service. The
reverend gentleman based his remarks
on John 11, 1 and 2, his theme being
'Jesus in the Home." After describing
In Interesting language the customs In
cident to the Jewish wedding, he said:
"if It was nlg'ht the groom and
groomsmen and his friends went with
torches and lamps, with flute players
nd with great rejoicing, for the bride,
who was escorted to the home of the
groom's fattier. The bride was clothed
n a long white veil, covering her com
pletely, and he was adorned with jew
els, and her hair flowing, and her head
was crowned with a chaplet of myrtle
leaves. The religious services at the
home were unique and beautiful. Both
bride and groom had fasted all day, and
prayed in repentence as a day of
atonement. Marriage was almost a
sacrament. The feast often lasted
seven days, and every evening was a
oyous festival.
"Jesus was invited to these festivi
ties. It Is probable that the marriage
was at the home of friends or rela
tives of Mary, for Mary talked with the
servants and seemed to be on familiar
terms In the household, where she felt
at home, and Joseph assisted at the
festivities. In this merriment and
good cheer Jesus is welcome. His pres
ence was not a source of gloom. The
pleasures were not beclouded by His
presence.
About John the Baptist.
'John, the Baptist, was severe and
ascetic. He lived much In seclusion in
the desert and forsook the abodes of
men. Jesus cume to mingle with the
common people, to ennoble and beau
tify home life, to add His heavenly
charm to domestic Joys. He congratu
lated the bride and groom. ' He is a
pleasant guest. He and His five dis
ciples add much ipleasure to the feast.
Jesus will bring Joy to your home.
nave you taken Christ Into your do
mestic circle? This young bride and
groom started right. Jesus was in
vlted to their .wedding. He blessed
tnem as they started In life.
His smile was a benediction to
marriage. Many young people are
not Christians because they think re-
llgion will rob them of many pleasures.
No Joy In life can compare with the
ecstasy of a true Christian. The young
can find no Joy on earth to compare
with the delights of a true Christian
'Take Jesus Into your home-life. Not
a dead, cold, formal profession, but a
vital, daily, real and living faith is
what you need. Have you a family
altar. Does father, mother, brother.
sister, husband, wife and every mem
ber of the household love Jesus Christ?
How many unhappy homes there are!
How many cross words, how many un
kind deeds, how much Irritability, In
justice and heartache there are In many
homes? Is your home happy? I ask
each one of you. You know your so-
cret sorrows. Begin the new year with
Jesus In your home. Invite Him to
your home tonight. He will come. He
stands and knocks at your door. Let
Him in.
Sympathizes with F.verv One.
"Jesus sympathizes with every mem
ber of the family in trlffllng cares,
Every member of every home has many
cares and burdens. The father has no
work. The children have many secret
heartaches. Some In the home feel
friendless In the world. They need
sympathy and love. What a friend we
have In Jesus? In the home at Canu
there was sudden shame. If the feast
had extended for some evenings and
there were many relatives and friends
no wonder on this last evening when
Jesus was Invited that some of the re-
freshments failed. The family are
mortified. The wine has given put,
Some of the guests have not been
served. They send back their cups to
be re-filled. The father and mother and
family and perhaps the bridesmaid
and groom are In dismay. If this Is
known to the guests It will be a ills
grace to the family as long as they
live. There is mortification and shame
In this home.
Mary, who feels at home In the
house, and Is a friend or a relative,
hears of their chagrin, and she goes
and finds Jesus, her wonderful Son
and tells Him In a whisper of the awful
situation. Jesus gives a kind reply to
Mary. He goes out quietly to see the
servants. He commands them to fill
six Jars with water. They are filled to
the brim. They drew out wine ana
carry It to the master of- the cere-
monies. The good cheer and Joy go
morrlly on. JesuB has removed all sor
row and heartache from that family.
Ills Power l.xcrtcd Kvcry Moment.
"His power Is seen as a Creator,
You see the stars at night clustered In
constellation and they resemble islands
of gold anchored In the ocean of the
sky. They were created by Jesus. But
hla creative power Is exerted every
moment; or they would fall Into space,
So a miracle is always about us. How
docs Jesus change rain and soil Into
grape Juice In the cluster on the vine
He does that every season. But a
Cana He changed water Into wine In
Btantaneoualy. It was done for others
that men should believe that He wus
the Son of Gad. There must be a mlra-
cle In your home, In your heart.
"Instantaneous conversions are Scrip
tura'l. The new birth Is a miracle. The
profane father can have the new birth
the Jewish imnther, the disrespectful
son; the impudent and ungrateful
daughter, the unkind husband, the
petulant .wife, and the disagreeable
child. It will ba a miracle In your
home if you are happy, sweet, kind
and Christ-like, and a true home Is
heaven upon earth."

FATHER OF FORTY CHILDREN.
All Are Alive, Being tho Offspring of Four
Different Mothers.
At the Union depot In. Cincinnati the
other day could be seen ten or twelve
little children, seemingly about the
same size, playing around the waiting
room. The boys all wore tweed suits,
while the girls had on checked ging
ham dresses. Supposing that they be
longed to an orphan asylum or some
public institution, an Enquirer re
porter asked where they were from
and If they were having a holiday. To
his astonishment he learned that they
belonged to the same family and were
moving from Weston, W. Va., to Kan
sas, where they have a colony of rela
tives In Clark county. The reporter
hunted up the parents of this remark
able brood of children and found the
father a hale and hearty man about
TO years of age, while the mother was
perhaps thirty years younger.
The old man's life has been a wonder
ful one. His name Is James Watklns,
and he was raised In Clark county,
Virginia, near Berryvllle. the county
seat. He married at the age of 20 years,
his first wife living ten years and bear
ing him nine children. After one year's
wldowerhood he again married, ana re
moved with his family to Wise county.
There he lived for fifteen years and
raised a second family of twelve chil
dren. His second wife died and in a
few months he remarried. This matri
monial venture resulted in an Increase
In the family of seven children in as
many years. One year of wldowerhood
again and he married his present wife
at Morgantown, W. Va., fourteen years
ago. By her he had twelve children,
or forty children altogether by the four
wives. Of those at the depot with him
there were three sets of twins and one
of triplets. Watklns Is the father of
four sets of twins and one set of trip
lets. Another remarkable fact Is that
all of the children are still living, and
twenty-five of them are married and
have families of their own. Although
not of a very advanced age, he has 120
grandchildren, eighty great-grandchildren
and five great-great-grandchildren,
or 245 direct descendants.

IS IT THE END?
A Time of Great Mortality.
Especially Noticeable in Children. Will
Man Cease to Exist f Can the
" Omega " be Averted T
Why Is It, with our improved sanitary
appliances, our care to obtain fresh air,
pure food, and plenty of exercise, the ob
servance, In fact,of every hygienic law,
that In spite of every care each succeed
ing generation seems to become weaker
and shorter lived? Is It that we arc now
suffering for indiscretions of our ances
tors, or Is that terrible, unkuown end of
nian at hand ?
Whatever the cause, the existing con
dition of things is too apparent. Especi
ally Is this noticeable with the babies.
Instead of the mother's life-giving milk,
they are compelled to begin a struggle for
existence with the bottle. The result In
many cases is disastrous. The little one,
failing to obtain necessary nourishment,
grows weaker dally, uutil death ends the
struggle. The end In these cases is
' Simply Starvation.
With this termination so often the case,
me uesi piiygicians ot tue day have re
sorted to the use of Bovlulne, that great
and original raw food product, as a means
to save the babies.
In this connection Dr. A. B. Robinson.
CI Dudley St., Boston, after coiuuieudlng
Boviniue most highly for various compli
cations where the waste of disease must
be checked, and new blood, flesh, and
strength created to effect a cure, savs
Concerning this life-creating preparation.
" n un iceuie, Dottle-feu babies, a small
amount added to the milk has in my
practice saved many children."
Boviniue is not a medicine, but a
Hfe-maintainiug, flesh,' bone, and blood-
muKing preparation that coutalns the
greatest amount of nourishment iu the
oast possible bulk.
Give It to the little ones while there is
still hope. Your physician, if you ask
him, will recommend it, and you will
mess me results ootaineu forever.
