Ma. EnToR:-I was pleased with the
remarks in your last issue on the subject
of tho present practice of separating fam
liza. and the sexes, ia churches. They
arc we'll timed; for assuredly it does
seem like reproaoh on common Chris
tianity that we should allow OF the prom
iscuous minglng together Of the sexes
in tho ball room, the circus, the theatre,
aud generally all other places Of public
resort. while we refuse to sanction It
in our ehurehssi Is il intended TO be in
ierred that the worlds people are more
pure in heart than the professed follow
ors Of Christ?
1t seems to me that there can be no
place, in which the family feeling should
be more Assiduously cultivated than in
the house of God. Thither should the
parent repair with his wife and children,
aud together, side by side, they ought to

the practice is bad one, aud ought to e'be

Many Of the churches in other cities
