Before the Altar of Christ they took their vows. And now God has placed another hand in theirs; a small hand, needing tenderness and guiding love. Before the Altar of Christ they come with their child, and according to the baptismal beliefs of their church dedicate his life to God. Before the Altar of Christ they worship each Sun day, and eagerly help their growing son to master the Truths that will undergird his life. Of course, there are times when the responsibili ties of marriage and parenthood test their patience and understanding, and courage to sacrifice. But they have learned long since to conquer their selfishness and surrender their pride where they re ceive forgiveness, strength and ever-deepening love —before the Altar of Christ.

Read Ephesians 3:14-19 1 how my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family In heaven and earth Is named. (Ephesians 3:14, IS) One day I heard of a school where the children were extremely unruly. The teacher was at her wits’ end as to how she might bring a semblance of order out of the chaos. Suddenly, a child’s clear voice rose above the hubbub: “Is this the way for a Christian fam ily to act?” The other children were taken by surprise. They looked won- deringly at the small girl who asked a question she had no doubt heard at home. They stopped their quarrels, their giggling, their teasing. They began to conduct themselves in a different manner because of this child whose family worshiped togther in the home every day. This girl had parents who read the Bible and prayed. The child had an altar at her mother’s knee. PRAYER Dear God, we thank Thee for Thy promise that where two or three are gathered together in Thy name Thoa art in their midst. Thou dost love families and hast put the solitary in families. Strengthen oar faith as we worship in our homes and know that Thou art here with us in familiar surroundings. We thank Thee in Jesus’ name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A home is a gift of God and a fitting place for worshiping Him Thelma Allinder, Homemaker (Nebraska) Mrs. M. A.
