4th PL on persecution then on children in church. Te move to have all in the service from age three up met with some resistance but we only lost one family over it. They had several boisterous children. The session was criticised as having no young children except well behaved ones. PL had firm convictions. I was prepared to abide by the consensus but told any objectors that if they had objections to be voiced to the session I would articulate them. No-one asked me to. The production of activity sheets for the children during the sermon and also introducing the subject by the preacher in Sunday School has helped.
