The hone, the school and the Church are the three institu- tinns upon which devolves the re• sponsihility of training the children who are the future citizens of the Empire. The home is the most int. portant of the three. In •fact the school and the Church often tom• plain that they do not get sufficient support from the home • from the patents. We .need Christian children and this need demands Christian parents to train such children. Many children are without sufficient knowl- edge of the first things of the Christ- ian faith because they are given little chance to learn them, being absent from Church or Sunday School. And the last thing we desire is for our children to grow up pagans. The Sun. day School teacher should be resolved to teach something (definite and in• spiting. Parents need, first, to set a Y'ilristian example, then to teach "heir children shoot God, and finally to send them where further religious instruction is provided.
