Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Children That in all this there is room for sound philosophy, and great need of it, all wise administrators in this little realm will readily allow; therefore, this forth-coming book should be hailed as a welcome contribution to the literature now most needed. For unless our children can be rightly reared for both earth and heaven, domestic life, in so far as children are involved, is only an altar on which to offer up souls in sacrifice to the lusts of pleasure and fashion. Among the many assignable causes of the desolations of sin, there is not another - not even the Leviathan of intemperance - that has opened so wide an outlet of souls from God and heaven as bad, irreligious family government and its consequences. Minds and hearts spoiled in the nursery can rarely be mended in the sanctuary. Wherefore, the rule of prevention, as given us by Solomon - writing as the amanuensis of the Holy Spirit, and not merely as a practical philosopher - is: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." I believe this declaration to be absolute in its sense, and feel no little shocked when I hear slack-twisted parents, whose children are departing from the right way, alleging that this very special text was never intended to guarantee any thing more than a degree of general good luck. Nay, verily, brethren, it intends insurance against all the evils that occur in consequence of failure in right training. If it does not, it furnishes no insurance at all, nor any ground of faith on which parents can rest their confidence in right training.
