the georgetown herald wednesday may 31st 1944 whtjlb opinions may differ tn re- regard bo the provincial govern ments proposal to introduce reu- otton in me sonooib t the province yet we nave to admit tbat tbe proposal is paying di vidends already due to the fact that it la causing a good deal of discussion both tn conversation and in the press honest expression of opinion l m helpful both to the owner of the oplnton and to the listener as well religious instruction should we would sunk commence tn tbe honie and be followed up in the church tb general opinion these days is that botn of obese institutions have fallen down on the job and the government pro- i to start religious instruction in the schools the tact that the govern ment has had to come to the rescue la no credit to either the home pr the church it seems that due to the pace which we nve these day tnere is no far family worship in the home more many of us can recall when was the usual thing to have family worship every morning and evening bight alter breakfast a chapter was jad and a morning prayer repeated then just before retiring in the even ing the same short family worship pe riod was repeated- on sunday evening the usual procedure was changed all members of the family to take part gathered around the bl dining room table each with a bible of ttkdr own the different memers would lead a verse in turn from some well known chapter usually in the new testament or perhaps it was one or more of the psalms- thus even the youngest membe would eel that they bad taken part r it seems that we are too busy these days for anything nke that but up to date there hasnt been a better way discovered of startl ing or ending the day most of us will agree that the poet robert bums had his faults but then many of us come under that same con clusion ourselves in bums poem the cotters saturday night burns tells of the cotters conducting family worship on saturday night and we are going to use one verse of his from that poem right here the priefltuk father reads the sa cred page how abraham was the friend of goa on high or moses bade eternal warfare rage with amaleks ungracious progency or how uie royal bard did groaning lie beneath the stroke of heavens aven- glng fixe or jobs pathetic plaint and walling real sermon wasnt over the childrens schbdvue for district cry or rapt isaiahs wild seraphic fire or other holy seers that tune the sacred lyre recalling those days when family worship was the usual custom we thin of the church services of that time as well and we find tbat the whole family attended church together in those days today the average sermon is away over the heads of the younger generation but as we recall it wasnt so in those earlier days this may in part explain the absence ol the young folk from church services these days the pecu- liar part of it is that due to the custom of having the sunday school meet im mediately before the morning service ft should be very easy to have the whole school attend morr4n senpee attend ing one of the large city churches we noticed that they took particular atten tion to see that the whole school did remain for the regular cnurch service the minister had a short address espe cially for the children and it was also suitable for the older folk then the heads either we thought tbe auort address was complete in itself but was also a continued story as well when uving in northern ontario some years ago we used to like to drlv out to a log school house out in the country in which church services were held much sunday the seats in that log school house werent very comforta ble bat we did enjoy those services were we to judge by present day stan dards we suppose the minister that we have m mind wouldnt be considered as being too well educated these days although as we recall it it wasnt his language so much as bis pronunciation that was at fault but perhaps that would not be his fault entirelyin his address though he seldom used words containing morettian five or six letters- arid even the youngest child there would be able to understand him those sermons of his stul stick a young man that we knew quite well also attended those services and today this same young man is now a well known minister himself f he often tells us that when getting up his ser mons these days he finds that his thoughts often go back to those sim ple sermons that we had both enjoyed back in the bush in northern ontario think back over the sermons that you yourself recall and maye it wont be the most learned one that you remem- er most vividly maybe it will be the simple sermon that even the younger folk could understand that still sticks in your mind as well lacrosse leaoub six teams have qualified for the north peel district
