you may rest assured that you ar
correct; but while this is the case
ly0u are neither so good critic o
linguist as you suppose yourself t.
be, for there were grievous mistake
in the punctuation of different sen
fences in the article to which you re
fer, which you did not notice, ant
we can point out mistakes in you
letter worse than the misuse of tn
word "liable." The writer evident
ly meant to say taat educated per
son is more APT to be Christian, in
stead of "liable," for the words ''lia
BILE to bscome Christian" convey
the idea of doing that which yo'
should not do: for instance, we say
that every man is liable TO do wrsng
whether he be educated or uneduca
ted, but an educated man is mor'
apt, or more likely, to become 6
Christian than is an ignorant man.
"High up" is not good language
neither is ''hid ur,' the word cup
in either case, being superfiuous. We
always mean up when using the wore
"high," and never say "high" down
Nevertheless, YoU should learn to
spell correctly before criticising cd
itors. ~

qucnting such places as you do, you
would not be quite SO doubtful.

We shall answer each Of
your difficult questions in the order
der in which you have presented
them for our consideration. To be
sure, you, and every other person,
should attend church at least once
every Sunday, ifpossible. If your
wife does not wish to go with you,
and you can not induce her to go,
let her remain at home. You can. if
you have common sense, do this in
such a way as not to interfere in the
least with the peace of Your domes-
tic relations. You evidently are
more concerned about "what people
will say" than anything else, and
that is probably what keeps you at
home-unless you chop wood or do
other work. Whatever you CAN do.
you WILL NOT make as much i'm
provement by staying at home all the
time, even if you sho'd read the Bible
lndustriously from morn till night,
as you will by spending part of your
time at church, for there you listen
to the teachings of those who are
able to give you vast amount of in
which you would not 9th
