Every mother is a historian. She writes
not the history Of empires or of nations
on paper, but she writes her own history
on the iDperishable mind Of her child
That tablet and that history will remain
indelible when time shall be no more
That history each mother shall meet
again, and read with eternal joy or unut-
terable grief in the coming ages of eter-
nifty. The thought should weigh on the
mind of every mother, and render her
deeply eircamspect, and praycrful and
faithful in her solemn work Of training
up her children for heaven and immor~
tality.
The minds Of children are very suscep-
tible and easily impressed. A WORD, e look. .
frown may engrave an impression on the
mind of q child that no lapse of time can
efface or wash out. You can walk the sea
shore when the tide is out, and you form
characters or write words or names in the
smooth white sand which is spread out so
clear and so beautiful at your feet, aecor-
ding as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall in few hours wash
out and efface all that you have written
Not so the lines and characters of truth
or error which your conduct imprints on
the mind of your child. There you write
impressions for the everlasting good or i'll
of your child, which neither the floods
nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor
the cold fingers of death erase, nor the
slow moving of eternity obliterate. How
careful, then, should each mother be- In
her treatment of her child. How prayer
full, and how serious, and how earnest to
write the eternal truths of God on his
mind-those truths which shall be his
guide and teacher when her voice shall
be silent in death, and her lips no longer
move in prayer in his behalf, in commend
ing her dear child to her covenant God.
