this way, the boy is likely to get the
idea that his father considers the cir
Gus of more Importance than the
Sunday school.
Men have a way of thinking that
the church is good place for women
and children, but that men are not so
important there. Yet, when God has
desired to speak to the world and re-
veal new truth, he has usually spoken
through men. When he would call a
people for his own. he spoke to Abra-
ham, and later on, when he would
make them a nation, it was Moses
whom he chose to be his servant. It
has been thus all through history.
While woman's part in religious lead
ership has been great, 1t has not ex-
ceeded that of the men. And the need
today is for men to take places of
leadership in the great movements
which are being opened up as never
before through the work of the
Church of Christ
