Children should be taken to church
at very early age. Church-g going
should be associated with theirA Earliest
recollections. A babe OF three months
should not deprive the parents OF the
privileges OF the church. A seat con-
venient for going ont, in case the child
should cry and disturb the congregation,
should always be chosen, and no snch
disturbance should last long before the
innocent cause is removed. Some young
parents, in seeking to prevent their first
babe from annoying the congregation,
rather overdo the matter OF attention.
The child is constantly bounced, shaking
its head in IA way that would give grown
person the headache. Or the parents
rock to and fro on the seat In imitation
OF the motion OF cradle, to the great
annoyance OF those who occupy the
same pew. And the constant motion OF
the child's head tends to give those in the
rear a nervouo chill, ms they can't avoid
seeing it saying nothing OF distraction from
the thoughts OF the sermon. When the
babe is quiet they do not let II nlone, but
bob its little head like tnmbler in n
milk-shaking machine. When child is
treated thus it is justified in setting up n
good vigorous yell which will require it
to be taken from the church, when the
prosecutions OF thoughtless but over
anxious parents will doubtless become
more conservative. And when tho child
nttains the age thnt it wants to run about
the church u veto should be put on such
proceedings. A child can be made to sit
quietly in the seat with its parents
during the hour Of service and
should be made to do so. And
when the child attains the ago
Of youth or young man he ought
to have sense enough to sit quietly
IN church and not stamp down
the aisle during the sermon. The girls
will not probably offend in TINT way but
ohould understand that it is awfully bad
taste to whisper and chew gum during
any church service. Crhere is no extra
charge for the foregoing advice, it all
goes with the best paper in the valley ut
