Old-fashioned Home Sermon Praises Family Worship
George E. Pike, lawyer, spoke at Fire Methodist Episcopal church on the value of the old-fashioned home. He painted a 40s to 60s family scene around the wood stove and Bible reading, emphasizing obedience, self-reliance, and family worship as the remedy for crime. He recalled a mother knitting, children at table, and a father who demanded prompt obedience.
