OIL the parent diligent and faithful Il

children's children.
From earliest history God has dealt
with mankind on the family principle
No real father can be unconcerncd
about the destiny of his children even
unto remote descendants. This duty
las fou1i its way into the legal US
ages Of ell nations and colors the COM

stands as the federal representative cf

king in the house. The neglect Of
family religion causes the parent to
face the charge Of injustice toward

moral ideals and religious inspirations
belong to the child. The fathers v;r.le

tor when. it is recognized that the
family IS the nursery of the church
and civilization and that the home Of

The home, and the family being the
oldest of institutions, there are traces
of religion found in it from the
earliest days. The poet is not merely
presenting the fanciful when he re-
present Adam and Eve as address
ing their morning thoughts in concert
to God
History is illuminated by splendid
illustrations of family religion. After

The historian records that christ

tie commentator of Timothy, was
that he had from a child known the
Holy Scriptures.
The Reformation period furnishes
many examples of family religion,
and the reformers valued it very
highly. Household piety was preva-
lent in Germany, Switzerland, Holland
and FRANCE. But in no country has
the light of family religion burned
more brightly than in Scotland. Family
devotion vas found among Reapers IL
l'arns, in fishing boats, on lakes, and
n the depth of coal pits. Burns in
his "Cotter's Saturday Night" vlvio!.!.
portrays scenes in real life among
Scottish peasantry. A beautiful trlb-

power of home piety was given -
the celebrated John Randolph, 81

friend just before his death. He wrote:

One of the most remarkable officers
of the British army now fighting in
France is Brig. Gen. Adrien Car
ton de Wharf. Since the war began he
has been wounded eight times, mas
lost an eye and an arm, and has gained
several decorations. General Carton
de Wharf was born in Brussels "a years
ago. He fought in the BOer war at the
age of seventeen, and was thrice
wounded while serving with Braoant $
and the imperial light horse, so that
altogether he has been wounded ii
times. When the present war broke
out he went to East Africa, where he
was severely wounded. The general
in spite of the loss Of an arm and an
eve, has proved himself brilliant ana
fearless cavalry leader.

fact, and practically unknown to the
world at large. 1t lies in the eastern
half of the republic, which is the least
settled, the least developed and the
least known. 1t is city Of some 1000
souls, the center of considerable
primitive trade and the site of the
most famous shrine on the island.
This latter is the shrine of the Vir-

devotees from every part Of the coun-

which has stamped its features on the
