The Gospel Day

Belief and daily conduct belong together in Charles Ebert Orr's account of Christian living. The Gospel Day develops its teaching through three parts named morning, noonday and evening, carrying the image of light through its argument. Its chapters cover salvation, the church, New Testament observances, divine healing and spiritual growth. In his preface, Orr describes his purpose as presenting plain truth about a holy life and challenging religious errors as he understands them.

Household responsibilities give those beliefs a practical setting. The discussion of family life links children's health with parental care, clothing and habits, then turns to discipline through examples involving babies and older children. Orr treats these choices as moral responsibilities and asks parents to seek divine guidance in handling different temperaments. For readers interested in Christian teaching or older ideas about raising children, the book shows how religious conviction shaped advice about ordinary home life.
