'"God First" is an excellent
tnotto to keepsteadily in
view in a|| the relations of life*
We-think you do well to keep it in
view in tbp home life, where it is
so vitally important. With regard
t > the asking of a blessing at
/ pneale, it is a good -plan to train
the children to do it. We know
of families where "grace" is very
.pweetly sung, and others where
the children have been trained to
respond promptly to a request to
ask the blessing. Ordinarily, the
husband, as the head of- the house
hold,-performs this duty. If he
be a Christian he will do it with
out urging. If not, then the duty
devolves upon the wife, whose ex
ample may be the means of ulti
mately winning over the husband.
