lions to Family Worship.

That children should take part in
daily family worship, was main
tanned by Rev. Gerrit verKuyl at
the session of the Presbyterian In
stitute at the Y. M. c. A. last
night. 1t was his contention that
children should read extracts from
the Bible on such occasions and par
tcipatc in the devotions which are
offered by the family.
DR.. VerKuyl did not advocate the
cid fashioned custom according to
which the father of the family off,
cred petitions to Deity in behalf Of
the entire household, but claimed
that all the members OF the family
should take part
In regard to the time for the off
ering of family devotions, the
speaker said that must be regu-
lated to accord with the family's
circumstances. While the morning
was preferable, 1t was not always
possible. Many families would have
more leisure in the evening, he
said. He cited the case OF a fam
lily in Aledo, where devotions are
always offered at the noon hour.
His topic was, Religion in the
Home" and he stressed the need
of raising family altar in every
household.
Rev. Walsh Speaks.
Rev. J. T. Walsh of Davenport
spoke on Training for Service ~
i He emphasized conservation by the
individual to do the work of God
The two addresses were delivered
after a combined prayer meeting
had been held by members Of the
Presbyterian churches who form
the Institute.

United Presbyterian church, will
speak tonight on THE Genius N,

The surge of the food early this
morning backed the waters further
INTO the inundated residential dis

and early police reports indicate
that at least dozen more families
had been forced to vacate their

One man, Gus Pyfer, routed from
his home by the food early this
morning, dropped dead. probably
from the excitement.

lands are beginning to be inundat-
