The hahi, Of being always in church
on these two occa sions is Of itself good
habit. 1t isa real discipline 1t is the
best of schools. Tho man who is prompt
that much in things Of God. is likely 10
be prompt in other things. He who does
not mind the storm on such occasions will
not De likely to on other occasions. He
will be man.
1t does the minister good. What if it
is cloudy. or cold, or hot, he has, if
faithful man land surely you would have
no other.) speut the best hours OF the
week in preparing his sermon. Shall he
prepare feast and have none to partake
Of it? We knew man who preached
his best sermons on these days. 1t was

But have not got clothes. Get them.
Have Sunday clothes. Preserve them
neat and clean. Have working clothes
besides. You will feel better for it.
You will do more work in the week for

work, better work and more Of it. with
better pay. But suppose you cannot get

Boys. We insist upon it, 60 to meeting
every Sabbath. Girls, get up early Sum

boots, get shoes, horse and carriage, and
