"It is not merely by speaking to children about spiritual things that you win them over.

If that be all you do, it will accomplish nothing less than nothing.

It is the sentiments which they hear at home, it is the maxims which rule your daily conduct the likings and dislikings which you express- the whole regulation of the household, in dress, and food, and furniture-the recreations you indulge

the company you keep-the style of your reading the whole complexion of daily life this creates the element in which your children are either

growing in grace, and preparing for an eternity of glory or they are learning to live without God, and to die without hope."

- Rev. W.B. Mackenzie
