Birth Control

The Bible very emphatically does not sanction movements of this kind. One of the objects of marriage is the procreation of children, and this cannot be set aside by whim or selfishness. Christians must become more and more conscious of the grandeur and prerogative of marriage and of offspring in marriage.

The Ideal Husband

Read again slowly and carefully the words of Paul. According to these words, the ideal husband is the Christian husband. The ideal husband is the man who knows his place in the home, loves his wife, keeps her, and cleaves unto her.

1925 John H. C. Fritz Walther League Messenger

The Ideal Wife

When a Christian young man has such a wife for his spouse, namely, a Christian, home-loving young woman, he will live with her and with their children in a blessed and happy home, and marriage then will be what the Lord intended that it should be.

Rejoice in Thy Youth

"Rejoice in your youth," but let it be a Christian rejoicing. Go to no place where the stainless Jesus can not accompany you. Do nothing that would offend His holiness. Avoid the company of those in whose hearts and lives His love finds no room.
