In a sermon on “The Debt Parents Owe to their Children,” Newell
Dwight Hillis, D.D., of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, told of a
parent who had said to him: “For twenty years neither myself
nor my family have paid attention to Christianity. And now I
have learned to my sorrow that the Christian Church is the only
place in which to bring up a family. If I had ten sons I would
compel them to marry wives reared in the Christian Church and
the Christian home, who have the Christian method and Christian
spirit of rearing children. (Text.)
