At the ilt ani versary meeting of the iWUoman's Mission Board et the Congre- gational clhurch in Toronto, Miss Amy E. McKowan, Sîratford, who will go to Tapan as a missionary, in October, gave an eann- est address on "The Cal 1 Service,". She nejoiced that the numben of volun- teers for the foreign field was increasing. Volunteens onfly, not conscriptswene quai- ifid for mission work, and as the needs of th-is world were made known, the armny of volunteens splendidly increased. Rev. S. C.

But Samuel was a c"iid of prayer and was early consecnated by bt- is parents 10 the service et God. The caneer and example et Sarnuel are a lesson 10 the youtb ofthIis age and of every age. Let us learn then that the education acýquined by cbildnen iii a Christian home and Lunden lise influence of the cbiuncb and Sabbath ichool will be lastiaig and vill bear good fruit.

Anoîher phase of home educatïin whicb I wish 10 present is daiiy habit. "A good habit is one of the best of good tinigs." Children gain a valuabie educaýtion froin insistance by, parents in the homee cor- rect habits. It is veny unforunnate if a cbild is allowed te become irnegniar in attendance at churcis, Sabbatlî or public ichool. Too miany parents cmr greatly lu pemmitting for trivial excuses, chJildren ,to' absent themnselves froecurch on school. Irregularity crea tes indifference and aise results in serions loss.

DARLINGIONIN even heard it said that a muinister once in thîs conference was hardly ever on turne for funeral, wedding or church service. But this is another digression-I want parents'to teach their eidren punctuality by precept and exampie. 1 want to saysmehn about teaching cbindren prompt oeine order and neatuess in the homie, Sabbath sehool and Publie or other s.hool. he inculcation of these admirable habi ts will mean much to every child amdihe are an important part of a chld1's homne education. 1 had occasion to catI at a homne recently after the littleieblîdrený had beý,en put to bed for' the night.
