A few more remarks on this point and
We dismiss il. Christian mothers, tram
your daughter inr The God who made her
and redeemed her, and for that heaven
where The pure in heart see God, and
dwell in his presence. Let her be thy
companion when thou yisilesi the sick
and poor; and make her frequently the
almoner Of Thy charities TO them. Inter-
est her in the great benevolent purposes

take their little ones with them 10 The de-
votions Of the closest, and even now
sometimes see, in families which visit,
