tho action of tho clements, or tho
agency of man, may loose oil trace Of
every impression mado upon it.
But not so with regard to impress
sions onco made upon tho minds of
tho childin its formative period. Onco
thoughtlcssly or otherwise in the walks
OF human career: place the foot upon
tho tender mind Of the child, and you
havo notonly made an impression,
but ono too often, ineffacablc. DR..
Pricstly, q ripo scholar tells US that
though in his mature life he could not
bclicvo in witches and ghosts, yet
from Impressions mado on his mind
in the nursery, he would often suffer
momcntary alarm, when ut times in
the night, he would find himself alono
and amid circumstances favorable, as
he had been taught, to ghostly manifes-
tations. This is but one striking Illus
tration out ofmany that mi ght be given,
of the durable character Of first impress
sions. And what invests this feature
| OF childhood with still moro fearful
Importance, is that wrong impressions
arc much more tenacious and indc-
structiblc than right ones. Nor is this
surprising, when We consider tho ma
| turc Of the mind in it's fallen condi-
tion. 1t is soil of great fertility in
which every noxious and hurtful plant
| finds abundant nourishment. While
| on tho other hare, tho Hl1mcnt SO nee
cssary to promote tho healthful de-
vclopcmcnt of the plants of virtue is
forcgn substance only supplied
through the importation of Gods
grace. How careful then ought we
to be concerning the daily impressions
wo arc making on our children.
When in state analogous to mud or
wet mortar, impressions wore mado
on the rocks in question that would
require days of laborious chiseling on
the part Of the sculptor to remove.
So while the minds of childhood is in an
impressiblc state may it be impressed
with the character Of sin so as never
to be cffaccd. The sum of tho lesson
thon that we would Impress, is that
the mind and heart of our children
arc in high degrco susceptible to
impre ssions, that impressions of
wrong kind, arc moro liable to be
made than correct ones; and that
these, owing to the character Of the
fallen nature, arc tho most difficult to
erase. Watch therefore that tho
rough footprints of vice and sin bo
not rudely set upon the young heart
Of your child.
