Take Care of the Children

By Congregationalist

WHILE passing through a town in western New York, a Sunday-school superintendent noticed a fine brick church, with other buildings attached, and asked the stage-driver, "What is that?" "A French Catholic church," was the reply. Going on a little further, they passed a dilapidated wooden building, with broken blinds, and sadly needing a coat of paint. Again the question was asked, "What is that?" "The Congregational church," was the answer. "But what makes all this difference?" "Them take care of their children, and these don't," was the sententious reply; and there was a sermon in it.
