Church in St. Louis, said among other foolish (things, "There is something wrong with tho boy who longs for tho time to como whon ho goes to Sunday School. Ho is also qifotod as saying that tho boy who likes to go to pray er-mooting should be examined, unfortunately his statement ap plies correctly to many churches, but tho order should be reversed, Any Sunday School or prayer- meeting which is not attended by tho boys with pleasure should be investigated and the pastors also. Tho hopo of the church today la in tho children more than ever and a well reared boy or girl in a Christian homo enjoys the fel lowship, singing nnd service of his church when it Is sincere.
