proper education of the heart he will bt
taught to love what is good, wise and
right and to hate what is evil, foolist
and wrong And by proper education
of the hand he will be enabled to supply
his wants, to add to his comforts and Il

ready to do good; order and peace reigl
around, and sin and sorrow are almos
unknown.
