Exposition on Training Children.

Exposition on Training Children.
Train up child in the way in which
he should go, and when he is oldhe will
not depart from it, II this be true and
we are allowed to judge by works, deeds,
fruits, doings, etc, then it is not the
99th sheep That has gone astray, but the
whole gang seems to be in the woods.
The first reason for the right trainir g
of children is, that the thing withing it
sell is right. Another is, that it is en-
phaticaliy a Divine command, besides
bcing in accord with CO mmon sense and
Justice, It is also a blessing and honor
alike to parents and children, anl
light to tho world.
Such culture not only keeps the pa
rents children and community out of
trouble, cost and loss of sleep; but is n
safe guard to many generations foil ow-
ing. Another urgent reason is, that if
child learns to be an ignorant deprav-
ed, Vulgar scoundrel, and goes on in
such meanness i'll a. sinful world, then
the probability is that he will not only
life: coutaninating IL e morals of Others
and spreading tares of iniq uity; not on
ly to his posterity, but the many Others
whom this wretch cursed with such ev
ills and may also transmit them TO 9TH
ers and all such would effect following
generations.
Still another reason for respecting
this command is that if death works no
change, then it must be tina, we wake
up in the next world with the same
propensities good and evil, which we
are in love with at the time of death.
just like CLOSING river or state line,
the act does not make one honest OF
purify him. Then if the eyils of this
world continue into the next, on and
on,unless we repentand purify ourselves
here, it must be that they will continue
on forever. Theu it must be that the
teachings and training given to children
are not for one year, nor for life. but all
eternity Then how very necessary it
is to Train up child in the way in
which he should go?
Another reason is, that it is much
cheaper financially to educate them
properly, than it is to turn them out
like hogs and let them spring up by
chance like mus hrooms. Because many
fathers spend much more trying to
keep their children out of prison and
from being hanged, than would be re.
quired to give their prodigals collie
giate education, not saying any thing of
the re orse of conscience, disgrace and
loss of sleep created by such iniquity
Still another reason why all people
should universally obey this command,
is that it is socially, financially and NOR
ally effecting all people in the world,
every day, hour and minute in life, in
creasing our joys, or SORROWS in proper
tion to the degree in which this iniunc-
ton has been kept or Violated. When
one dies he gets rid of paying tax, but
we cannot get rid of our rascality and
meanness in this short handed way. So
we must try and overcome the evil with
good. WIN. EDWARD READ.
