Excerpt from The Lady Preacher, or the Life and Labors of Mrs. Hannah Reeves, Late the Wife of the Rev. Wm. Reeves, D.D., Of the Methodist ChurchEre there no teachers of literature and religion, our race would be in worse than a savage condition. All knowledge of every valuable kind comes from teaching, and from the bottom to the top of society, in every department of learning, there are male and female teachers. In the family, the father and the mother are the joint instructors of the children; but the mother, especially, lays the foundation, and is the rudimental instructor of the household, and reli gious mothers give the first lessons on the subject of Christianity. And every woman who becomes a mother should be qualified to give instructions to her children. In all the private and public schools of the land there are male and female teachers, not only qualified to teach the different branches of an ordinary or superior education,-but to impart to the students a knowledge of sound morality and religion. In our Sabbath schools, where it is the prime Object to make a religious impression on the minds and hearts of the children, male and female teachers, qualified for the task, are found, by universal consent working together, filling the minds of the children with the precious truths of our holy religion, and leading their young hearts to the Saviour of sinners.
