After her long Illness Miss Harriet Roulstone
is welcome addition to the choir The
sermon delivered by Mr.. Mckinney was es-
pecially addressed to parents. The subject
was 1.-The Word of Cod and the scripture
lesson was taken from the first chapter of
John. Teach the child the value of Gods word
and you will give him character that has a
groundwork of morality. The word of God is
the only force that is vital enough to take the
soul to heaven, and the parents who wllfully
neglect teaching their children this Word are
guilty of a grave sin. The child soon goes
| from home; he is surrounded by new in
fuences; brought face to face with the prob
lens of life. You can neither watch nor
guard him now. Then equip that child before
/ he leaves home with the strength to protect
himself. Let the Sunday School add its in
f1uence to your home training There are
classes for children of every age, and teachers
eager to help you. Never has the Sunday
]
service as today. You have but to give
it your co. operation and it will become force
that will feed with the bread of life every
little one in the Masters flock At the
