Synopsis
Excerpt from The Way to Bless and Save Our Country: A Sermon, Preached in Philadelphia, at the Request of the American Sunday School Union, May 23, 1831
As every science and course of instruction depends, essen tially, upon a few elementary principles, and that of Chris tian education as much as any other, so a familiar acquaint. Ance with these principles is essential. Before we undertake to teach, it is extremely important that we understand the primary laws of thought and feeling; and that we have an intimate acquaintance with the elements which we are to arrange and combine, so as to strengthen every faculty, and to secure the most perfect developement of symmetry ~and beauty. And, whatever our ultimate object may be, we must begin at the beginning. We must commence With the simplest combinations, either of characters, substances, thoughts, or affections. This holds true, whether we would construct the most ordinary machine, or measure the height and magnitude of the stars - whether we would unlock the stores of literature in a foreign language, or fathom the deepest and sweetest wells of our own - whether, in short, we would, in any way, concentrate and direct the mighty energies either of matter, or of mind. He who should wait for his son to understand Paradise Lost, before he would teach him the first lesson in two letters; or, who should at tempt to bend an oak of fifty circles, would be about as wise, and about as successful, as the parent who should wholly neglect the religious instruction of his children in their ten der years, and then undertake to change their habits, and mould their hearts, in the strong maturity of passion and ap petite. We must begin the work early, or we shall labour in vain, and spend our strength for nought and in vain.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book interrogates the ancient proverb, âTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it,â delving into the foundations of moral development in children. The author draws connections between the simplicity of this proverb and current approaches to education and child-rearing, arguing for a return to traditional Christian values as the most effective method for instilling virtue and piety. The book explores ways to implement these values through early religious instruction, examining how such an approach can lead to permanent, positive character traits. By providing a comprehensive examination of the proverb's meaning, historical context, and implications for contemporary society, this book offers valuable insights into the importance of religious education in shaping the moral fabric of future generations.
