Kneeling in Prayer

Two LITTLE girls were playing they were in church. "Now we are to have prayer," said one. "You kneel down and be a real Christian; I'll just sit down, and put my hand up to my face. I'll be a stylish Christian."
The simple remark of this little girl is quite to the point, and suggests a thought that older people might consider with profit. Kneeling in prayer, either by preacher or layman, is practically a thing of the past in orthodox Protestantism. Catholics get on their knees frequently, and the heathen bow down to wood and stone; but orthodox Christians have about ceased to kneel, it is easier and more stylish to sit.—Selected.
