greatly strengthened. He hcli that
rarenal authority should be cxertcd ard
respec cd until the children cached the
age OF n years, and the influence thus
eNerted Tor their welfare would prove Il
great blessing to them and the com.
muulty. He thought Ltat there was too
much laxlty IN family government, and
that much OF the lawlessness of the
times was owing to the same. 1t be
