"Whosoever thou art that enterest thl!
church, leave it not without prayer fo
thyself, for him who ministers, and fo
those who worship here" The Sunday
| School will meet Immediately after th'
morning ser vice. Have the children
come, encourage them to come, and i
necessary, come with them for few
Sundays
Fathers and mothers, the appeal is t.
youl an hour a week is little enough o
time, surely, for the religious education o
our children. Can we, dare we, allow
them to be deprived of it? The educa.
tional process of playground and street i.
sure and constant. 1t cannot be escaped
Everywhere the children are in contact
with it. Its levity and loossness, its in
sistence on the pleasure of the moment a:
the great end, constantly assail them
What shall we give them for their de-
fence; how can we shield them from the
blight of evil thoughts, the poison of un-
worthy views of life2 Our children arr
charges from God. If any relationship il
life is holy, it is our relationship to them
if any duty is sacred, it is our duty t
them. We know what burdens they viii
be required to bear, what disappoint
ments endure, what griefs suffer, wha
temptations wrestle with. What shal
we answer them in the day of their con
flict if they charge US with neglect? Mr.
Klpling, in that poem of despair entitled
The Black Sheep makes one of the los
ones cry out of the depths of his bitter.
| ness, -"God help us2 for we knew the
worst too young" 1t would be difficult
| think, to frame more terrible accusa-
ton than that. 'God help usl" we may
we'll say.
| The Sunday School cannot do every
| thing, but it can and does do much. II
.instils into young and receptive minds
thoughts of Gods presence, of the souls
high demands for truth, purity, and help
fulness; it acquaints the child with the
heavenly powers; it puts him in touch
with those divine forces and feelings that
alone will be able to uphold him in the
long way his soul must travel before il
reaches home.
