At the close of long, stormy Sunday
afternoon. when the children have been
read to. talked to, and instructed until
minds are weary. and active bodies are
longing for some physical exercise. have
put them through some simple. light
gymnastics. I have let them lie on the
floor with folded arms TO see who could
get up first without unfolding the arms.
/ let them strike all sorts Of attitudes.
and make ''statuary" of themselves.
After such performance we have play
called Work." which il played by writ
ing on slips OF paper Put books away"
Pick up papers," Arrange the table"
and so forth. Each child draws a slip
and hastens to do as IL directs. and in a
very few minutes order Is restored. After
an evening hymn all gather close around
mamma for last little talk. Prayers
are said. ''good-nights'' and kisses are
exchanged. and s o'clock finds every
''chick and child In bed. Whatever Il
done on Sunday. the vital consideration Is
to develop the moral and spiritual nature.
and TO make Sundays at home delightful
to look back upon in after years. This
may be done whether the house be
cottage or a palace. provided II contains
:oving and sympathetic parents willing
to devote their time on Sundays to their
children.-Emily d. Streibert In the
