SAVE YOUR FAMILY.

By T. De Witt Talmage

OH, let it not be told on judgment day that you let your family start without the only safeguard,—the religion of Christ! Give yourself no rest until your children are the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. Your son does just as you do. He tries to walk like you and to talk like you. The daughter imitates the mother. Alas, if father and mother miss heaven, the children will! Oh, let Jesus come into your house! Do not bolt the hall door, or the parlor door, or the kitchen door, or the bedroom door against him. Above all, do not bolt your heart.
Build your altar to-night. Take the family Bible, lying on the parlor table. Call together as many of your family as may be awake. Read a chapter, and then, if you can think of nothing else besides the Lord's prayer, say that.—T. De Witt Talmage.
