A Laudable Custom
Exodus 12:14
And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations…


Rev. Joseph Sortain, the eloquent Brighton preacher, was of Huguenot extraction. He always observed the custom of his persecuted ancestors of reading the twenty-third Psalm at family worship on Saturday evening. When sometimes asked by guests why he had a special portion of Scripture for that evening, he would reply, "It was the custom of my Huguenot forefathers, and I wish to gain inspiration for my Sunday's duties by the associations it calls up."

(J. Tinling.)
