Father discovered a duty to be kind and loving like God; sons to obedient and reverent like Christ. Wherever St. Paul went, he strove to create a new sense of home duties and relations. We can see this by the resent passage in Ephesians, which Forms our lesson for to-day. I. THE DIFFERENCE CHRIST HAS MADE WITH RELATION TO HUSBAND AND wire, 5:26-33. V. 26. The husband is to love his wife, not to tyrannize over her, as the heathen often 'did, still less to leave her or to divorce her, since Jesus had forbidden divorce, Mark 10:9, Matt. 19:6. Even philosophers among the Greeks doubted sometimes whether women had souls. So there was cruel- ty and neglect on a great scale. But now Christ's love for his Church creates a new ideal for the husband in relation to his wife, If we think at what a sacrifice Christ loved his re- 'deemed ones when he died on the cross, it will put gentler thoughts into our hearts, and we will not only be kind to our dear ones, but we will reverence them. Men who have been selfish will become chivalrous and noble, and the home will be a different kind of place. Vs. 26, 27. Christ loved his Church in order to make it holy, The sacra- ment of baptism, by which we enter into the church, indicates thdt we should live purified lives. The words spoken at baptism, namely, "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," declare that we belong not to ourselves but to God. Christ wishes his church to be like a beautiful lady, shining in the light of! God. He does not look for faults in it, | like spots or wrinklés. He sees only the beautiful qualities of his church, and his purpose is that it should al- ways be "holy and without blemish," like the sacrifices which are offered to God in the Old Testament.

Ah Son to his Father in heaven, and his example means that sons and daugh- 'ters in the home should show obedi- ence to their parents.

Paul reminds the children of tha fifth commandment, God says, "Honor thy father and thy mother," partner. Selfishness is a cruel tra- gedy in the home. But love, following the example of Christ, brings bright- ness into faded eyes, smooths the cruel traces of care away and transforms the home into a place of genuine hap- iness. z V. 81. This is the reason why God at the beginning said (Gen. 2124) that when a man marries, the obligations of the new home are to take the first place in his affections: Vs. 82-84.
