A straw will make an impression ON the
virgin snow; let it remain but short time
and a horses hoof can scarcely penetrate it,
So it is with the youthful mind. A triAing
word may make an impression on it, but after
A few wears, the most powerful appeals may
cease to influence it. Think of this, ye who
have the training of the infant mind, and
leave such impressions thereon as will be safe
for it to carry amid the follies and tempta-
tions of the world.
