James. on Education.

MUCH OF the peace and comfort and
safety OF the community depends upon
the character and habits of the young.
To tame the ierocity Of their unsubduet
passions /; to repress the rudeness Of their
manners; to chasten and purify their Ian
guage; to subdue the stubborn rebellion
OF their wills; to render them honest,
obedIent, courteous, Industrious, submis
slve and orderly, should be an object of
great desire with all who are engaged in
the werk of instruction. 1t should be
your ceaseless effort to reform the wees,
Ito heal the disorders, and exalt the whole
character of children by trairing them up
in whatsoever things are true, honest,
Just, pure, lovely, and of great, report"
Then, to use the beautiful imagery OF the
prophet, "lnstead of the thorn shall come
up the fir tree, and instead of the brier
shall come up the myrtle tree" But
higher even than this you Gust look for
the summit oil your hopes,-A man may
be industrious, orderly, useful, and moral
in his habits and still be destitute OF that
faith and holiness, without which he
shall not see the Lord DWELLING in
walks OF life, where sin spreads destruc-
ton round, how rapid is the growth of
Original corruption how luxuriant the
harvest of actual transgressons which
|springs from il ! how little likely, with.
out extraordinary efforts, are youths to en-.
tier the narrow pah that leadeth TO
eternal life !" What then should be the
|object Of education Look round upon
THE little immorfals, by whom you are
encircled. Every human body is the
residence of an immortal spirit, and how
lever diminutive by childhood, or mean by
poverty, or filthy by neglect, the hovel
might appear, deafness inhabitant will
; oe found within. Every child which
fIcomes under your care, conHdes to Won,
/ ability SOUL, compared with sou
whose worth the sun is bauble, ant
with whose existence, time itself is bu
the twinkling of an eye. View, then
these children in the light which the raw.
lof religion diffuse over their circun
lstances; follow them in imagination no
:, Ionly into the ranks of society, to act ihei
humble part in the great drama ofhuma,

life; but follow them down into t at val
ley, gloomy with the shadow OF death, &
from which they must come forth, they
that have done well to everlasting life;
but they that have it, to everlasting shame
and contempt and while YOU see them
plunging into the bottomless pit, or soar
ing to heavenly mansions, say, what
should be the ultimate object OF Parents

doubtless, must be, the satvation Of their
