Home Teaching

By Mrs. D. A. Fitch

MRS. D. A. FITCH

SCHOOLS are established to impart instruction, and this is as it should be. Churches do an efficient work in their own field of effort; but where is there a more important opportunity for teaching than in the home itself? Here the first duty and privilege of the parent lies. This is the field where effort brings the best results. Blessed indeed are the father and mother who recognize their high calling. Yet in how many Christian homes is the gaining of instruction sadly neglected. Too many evenings and mealtimes are spent in conversation that is unprofitable if not worse.

Let us gather up the fragments of time, of wisdom, and of all else that will contribute to the mental, moral, and spiritual uplift of the whole family.
