Religion in the Home

In a pastoral letter issued by the presbytery of Chicago there is contained the following excellent paragraph on family worship, which is worthy of more than mere denominational attention, and should receive consideration by the fathers and mothers of Seventh-day Adventist homes:—

We further admonish you to build anew the altars of family religion, honored by our fathers, and still worthy of honor by their children. We know the hurry and the rush of the morning hour in many a Christian household. We are not unmindful of the difficulties attendant upon the regular observance of “times and seasons” of family devotion. We, therefore, do not offer rules and regulations for the maintenance of religion in the home, but we do urge upon Christian fathers and mothers the unspeakable importance of finding a time and a place to honor God before their children, and to cultivate that spirit of reverent devotion without which character is poor indeed.
