It defines strictness as reasonable rules and enforced actions, combining praise and penalties with understanding motives. Justice, not harshness, guides rewards and punishments to foster affection and accountability.

Churches of Snow and Timber Shape Unusual Houses of Worship
The Rev J F Peck recalls Arctic missions where snow blocks formed a church with seats and altar. A sealskin church on Blacklead Island used whale ribs as a frame, while Perth built a small Sunday church from rushes doubling as barracks and theatre. Other feats include a Chicago church of vitrified clay with terra cotta detailing built without nails, a fossil stone church near Niagara Falls, and a Santa Rosa redwood church with 60 000 shingles. A monolithic Grippsland eucalyptus hollowed into a fifty seat church completes the remarkable list.
