Staues Of ReIiuion

Religion, says Doctor Hall, begins
In the cradle in the sympathy between
mother and baby, In the sense of Sc
curity and dependence of the baby up
on its parents. In the wonder at the
universe, In the training in obedience.
The mother must know in what a
child's religion consists, and the elf
ference between that and the religion
of adult lift.
