Parents cannot becxcuscd for the neglmt

an hour's time is not required, no compass
of language is necessary. It requires no
strength ot'intcllcct to read a portion of the
scriptures, which our children should hear
till thc-y-can repcst, and the less studied the -
short address to heaven, the more simply '
expressive of our hopes and our depend
ence, the more salutary will be its eﬀects.
Ask those women who from childhood
have been accustomed to think of religion
as thecheerful'tzer of society, the ssspringuf
genuine happiness, who have seen its happy
eﬀects on the minds of their parentS. and
have felt it on their own, whether they ever '
esteemed it a task to perform its dutics or
