Thought for August 31

[Thought for the Day]

     If children are with those whose conversation is upon unimportant,
earthly things, their minds will come to the same level. If they hear the
principles of religion slurred and our faith belittled, if sly objections to
the truth are dropped in their hearing, these things will fasten in their
minds and mold their characters.  Adventist Home, p. 461
