Christ, bids fair to be advanced more
Louisiana, by the Protestant Churches;
Of this section than ever before in this
generation however, H.y object is not
to Npatiatr Oh the religious condition
Of tho the country, but noticing in the
TELEGRAPH sometime since, rules to
be observed by little folks ut the table:
l respectfully ask You 10 publish, II few
rules to be observed by adults in
church. It is customary III or colin-
| try churches, for some worthy and
thoughtful lncn,,sr, IL go before ;!ir
hour of scrvic" and place OF, the stand
Il pitcher OF water, Intending i; rEciu-
SiHciy 70: the minister, to rlH,hir Eiul
! to speak more distinctly: but il i:;i., be
come an ab"minahic pi'actir" lately,
| for nj! those sitting near In" stand 70
go and help themselves ;ttt, their ciii.-
dren to- water from this pitcher daring

in the congregation, and y ;'"r""ptihit'
nervous ftrlin" to pass over the minis
! ter besides often forcing him to drink
the tire.S after uirtN-i:."rii vi.il,ircn.
Therefore, l will suggest the following
rules:

! never turn to observe others coming il;
| ;5rd. Never leave church during the
discourse. unless necessarily compelled

t that you so there for no other purpose

9th. Last, but not least, leave YOU
