     worship?

     economic pressure?

     3.  How have the changes affected the religious influence of the
     home?

     4.  What features of the older customs are most worth preserving?

     5.  Recall any of childhood’s prayers which you remember.  How many
     maintain the custom of bedtime prayers in mature life?

     6.  What should be the central motive of “grace” at meals?

     7.  Would there be advantage in occasionally omitting the “grace”?
