THE OLD FAMILY Pew

One sometimes hears a great deal
Of nonsense about the danger Of
creating prejudice against religion
il the mind of child by making him
attend church once a week. The dan
ger would seem to be about one-tenth
as great as that of arousing a pre-
judice against education by send
ing him to school twice day. In
both cases the remedy lies in the
good sense of the parents and their
estimate of the value of religion and
education carefully instilled into the
child's mind. The strength of the
church has been in the old-fasioned
family pew, with father at one end and
mother at the other and a stairway Of
more or less restless children be-
tween. From that pew have gone out
the upright, devout, consented men
ald women who have loved the church
asd maintained her worship and done
her work in their several generations.

especially for the sake of the children,
