Criticism of Sermons Before Children

THE Church Standard says: "Let parents beware what they say about the sermon or the preacher before their children, in whose hearts the word of God may be seeking a lodgment. Why pray in the morning for the conversion of sinners, and then, by cold criticism of the sermon, neutralize the very means by which it pleases God to save? Thoughtless comments at the dinner table, will do this far more effectually than all the profanity the children hear, as they pass the drinking saloons on their way to school."
