Sketches From Life Or Illustrations Of The Influence Of Christianity Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Family Pictures From the Bible But not only, nor chiefly, in a literary point of View, is the Holy Book the best instructor of families. It will not be questioned, at least by any who believe in revelation, that a substantial religious foundation is indispensably necessary for the true family organization and welfare; the more so, as experience shows daily how far into the future extend the habits and influences of family life, exercising a controlling effect upon that which is more public, whether it lie in the department of Church or State. NO truth is more generally admitted than that most Of the good or evil exhibited in the actions Of men exists in the germ during childhoodfiand youth, and that it may often be discerned by judicious observation, and checked or eradicated, or be nourished by careful culture. Where the conduct in advanced years is not governed by correct principle, the presump tion is a fair one that the home culture has been neglected.
