LOUISA'S LETTER Uil J :

Dear Louisa, My husband and I were both brought up in families who were good members of their churches. Attending church services was automatic as far as we were concerned. I am sure it meant a great deal to both of us as our standards as to morals, honesty and compassion for others have certainly been a great help in making us a happy family and in setting a good example for the children. We are not perfect but there is a good relationship between all of our family. Now what is worrying me is my sister. She married a man who was brought up in a very worldly family. Her husband plays golf instead of going to church on Sunday morning and ridicules some of us for our religious ways. Their children have been left alone at home a great deal and have been something of a problem to them. Even if people do not agree with everything the minister says the habit of attending services together with their children n a regular basis, makes for a closer family and less problems. Don’t you agree? Sister —Col.

a fitted bodice and chapel-length train. The gown was accented with a single rose at the waistline and a shoulder strap of silk roses over the right shoulder. It also featured lace ruffles around the top of the bodice and the hem of the gown. Her fingertip veil and blusher were attached to a white satin cap with simulated pearls and a floral spray of soft white polyester flowers and simulated pearls.

The bridesmaids were Margy Hendershot, Indianapolis; Penny Helmick, Moravia, Iowa; Grace Stichter, Milford; and Fay Sharp, Logansport. The attendants wore tea-length dresses of peach fantanza, which featured a scooped back with a large bow at the waist.

Answer: I agree with you that families who attend church services together seem to have less problems than those who do not. Even though you may not agree with everything the minister says, the sum total of benefit is usually a plus. Louisa.
