PROM RELIaIoUs ExcHANaEs
FAMILY WORSHIP

In this present day is not family
worship among many being neg
lectedl Some may disenss this
subject with an airy shrug and a
sheer, but to all thoughtful per-
sons it win seem one well worthy
of consideration and deep thought.
1t is sad fact that among many
homes throughout the land this
duty is being passed over, the
members of which profess to be
Christians and followers of Christ,
yet they fail to have family wor-
ship. With many the excuse is
that they haven't time. They
haven't time to gather for a few
moments each morning to worship
God! Such excuses are worse
than none. There is no excuse to
be found for the neglect of this
duty, which every family owes to
God, and all who fail to do it are
mourning upon themselves a great
risk; they are losing instead of
gaining spiritual life. Spiritual
growth becomes checked, and their
whole Christian life is weakened.
Family worship is needed to keep
the apiritual life aglow. Each
member is made more Jealous by
it, and their spirit is kindled afresh
in them, and they are brought
nearer to God, and are knit closer
together, and harmony and unity
become more prevalent. Would
to God there was more of it. Evil
be unto that family which cannot
find time each morning to draw
together and spend few moments
in devotion and worship to God.
BY not doing it they are taking a
fearful responsibility upon them
selves, and must one day appear
before God to give an answer for
it. What excuse will they find
then to gives Will they dare tell
God it was because they did not
have time! Will they dare tell
him they didn't even have time to
offer him thanks for the food he
daily gave them9- South. Church
