SERMONETTES.

A WRITER in the Chicago Interior commends the recently introduced habit of some pastors of giving after the Scripture reading every Sunday morning what is called a "Sermonette"—a little sermon. This is addressed particularly to the children of the congregation, and the ideas and words are such as they can readily comprehend. It occupies only about ten minutes. Then after prayer and singing follows the regular long sermon for the "children of a larger growth." Some clergymen have been so successful in the "Sermonette" line, it is said, that they have been requested to confine themselves to that.
