DOMESTIC RELIGION.


There is a religious hfs in most English
families. 1t is matter taken for granted.
Family worship is observed in the vast ma
jority of families. Amons tn upper classes
domestic religious observance is looked
upon as part of the well ordering of the
household. 1t is not a subject of which
children fight shy in any way. The children
are asked to say grace at table-boys and
girls alike-exeept when guests are present.
Children are taken 10 church at a very
early age and grow up accustomed to church
attendance The institutions AMI ordinance
of religion ara held in profound respect,
The clergy are houorei and hold distinct
,,lace in the regard and even affections Of
the family.
The family life is the safety and bulwars
o; England. The religion and reverence
which are ever present and ever active in
the family life of England are its strength
and glory.
