Rh 78. — Bring your Bible and hymn book with you and pray and sing attentively, for from the mouths of young children God will perfect praise.

79. — Listen carefully to the sermon. Note the text and the divisions. These you may also write on your slate. Open your Bible quietly to the references given and mark the place with a narrow strip of paper, of which you should always have several in your Bible.

80. — Do not talk during the sermon, and if others talk to you, do not answer. If you are sleepy, stand up a little while and try to keep it off.

81. — When the name of Jesus is mentioned uncover or incline your head and show yourself reverent.

82. — Do not gaze about you at church, but keep your eyes under good discipline and control.

83. — All improper habits that you must avoid at school, as given in No. 62, you must avoid still more diligently at church.

84. — If you enter or leave church in couples you must not purposely elbow, push, or stare at others, but walk out quietly and modestly.

85. — Dear child, live in peace and unity with every one, and let all your politeness emanate from pure love of your neighbor.

86. — Practice order in all things; lay your books and other belongings in their proper places and do not let them lie carelessly about.
