Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1883-08-25

Inc cnllu learns much, before the
alphabet Of letters Is acquired. w
Deliberate inquiry is without preju-
dice, malice, or uncharitableness.
The end sought for in all instruction
should be clearly and well defined.
II you tell thing seventy times
seven, even a lie, 1t becomes stale. -y
The forces of nature and social custom
shape character and develop brain.
Tricks rapidly or neatly done, furnish
poor evidence Of education or piety.
Avail yourself to the utmost of all
true influences which surround you.
Be on good terms with your con-
science, your God, and your fellow-men.
He who devises the best means for
reaching an honorable end benefits his
race.
Let the active and controlling in
fiuences of life be Truth, Faith, and
Work.
The work of right grows easier with
every effort, because of aggregated
strength.
Whatever is neutral, or injurious,
avoid, and embrace all that enobles and
ampli6es.
The home, school, college, business,
and church processes, teach much posi-
tive evil,
To fix an objective point without duly
considering the best means of reaching
it, will fail.
Have honor so deeply rooted in your
nature as it will induce you in all mat
tiers to do right.
Rafting off ceremony and dogmatical
answers is peculiar kind of godliness
that never bushes.
Affection is operative prior to reason
and through the affections the child can
be wisely reached.
Furnishing through the moral nature
is an hundred-fOld more severe than
through the body.
The senses and heart of humanity
cannot be opened with 60 instruments
of lifeless instruction,
The whole nature of man is affected
and moulded more or less by everything
come in contact with.
Extraordinary success is not granted
the man who is not enthused with his
or pursuit.
Pride, prejudice, and passion, provoke
the unfortunate to press selfish interests
in violation of right.
With sweet and kindly tones direct
your child to nature, beauty, benevO-
Ience,- God himself.
transitory acquisition of undigested
facts, with their relations unbrought to
light, is of doubtful value.
If repulsive features of character and |
action, excite you to amiable and honor
able ways, you are helped.
Natural tact, dignity, and force of
character are required to impress, con-
troll, and draw out the soul.
A mind overloaded with isolated facts,
having no connection, has no perma-
lent acquisition of knowledge.
Seek to acquire that temper, DISPOSE
ion and habit, that will ensure cheer
'ulness, happiness, and purity.
A religion Of raw-hides, leather straps,
numb screws, and fires, is nowhere to
De found in the Gospel of Christ.
Much of the instruction of school and
church is premium upon verbal men,
Dry, simply this and nothing more.
If you would avail yourself of power,
arrange and classify your knowledge,
and enforce concentration to habit.
Thoughts and hearts treasure with adj
and invitation, life of real
and uniform virtue, courage, and honor.
You jeopardize the welfare Of the
child the moment you admit its early
should be trifled with, in one
instance.
A teacher who spends most of his time
in beating children is ct for nothing
,lse, as his habits and temper unfit him
for an instructor.
Engrave upon the young mind deep
love for humanity, filial fear Of God,
and true devotion to correct principle
II you would do immortal work.
