Is Your Home Under New Management?
By David Paulson
A WRETCHED excuse for a home is worse than a saloon, brothel, or gambling den; for it constantly tends to drive some members of such a family to frequent these places. If the Lord has already had an opportunity to make your home a small heaven on earth, then he will certainly use you to co-operate tactfully and tenderly with him in bringing other homes under a new and divine management, so that this sign can truthfully be hung out, “This home has changed hands.” We must have better homes before we can expect to have better churches and institutions. It is the recognition of this fact that has led us to make the October Life Boat a special home and purity number. Such experienced workers as A. T. Jones, Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Kellogg, Mrs. W. S. Sadler, Miss Fannie Emmel, and others will contribute helpful articles on true home making, which will undoubtedly be used of God to elevate and transform thousands of the homes that this number will enter. Will you send us the names and addresses, and a two-cent stamp for each name, of all those homes in your community that you feel impressed should receive this number of The Life Boat, and also order a liberal quantity to supply personally to others? When they have read it, the majority of them will thank you for the interest that you have taken in their behalf, and that will open the way for you to do them still greater good. We may do a world of good in our respective communities. Pray over this matter, and then do as the Lord may direct you. Address The Life Boat, 28 Thirty-third Place, Chicago, Ill.
