A Suggestion for Family Worship.
THERE is a family in this State in which the Scriptures have been read daily for more than a quarter of a century; and in this reading the children have been greatly interested, one after another, from the time they were old enough to speak. The father, to secure this interest and make the service pleasant to each child, has practiced pausing here and there in the chapter, and asking this or that child to repeat the last words or lines read, selecting the easiest words for the youngest child, and perhaps asking of an older child an exposition of a verse or phrase. In this way the constant attention of each child is secured, as neither the oldest nor the youngest is willing to lose a sentence, lest he should be called upon to repeat it, and not be able.—Examiner.
