Your Child's Religion By The Rev. Randolph Crump M iller Miller’s treatment of the use of re ligion and morals in the home is a very practical approach. He uses a question and discussion technique to cover the basic religious questions of parents in helping their children de velop a keener sense of moral stature. He covers religion in the home, church, school, and secular activities. His coverage of basic problems and responsibilities of the parents is well done. However, there is difficulty in his major premise.
