Synopsis

This book is an extensive collection of anecdotes, set pieces, and essays, all centering around a common theme: the sanctification of children, and the responsibility of parents, teachers, and clergy to imbue children from their earliest days with a thorough knowledge of the Bible and gospel truths, and to lead them through their formative years free from the influence of worldly and corrupting amusements. The author draws from many sources, including history, sermons, and his own experiences, to illustrate the value of a sound and early Christian education, a commitment to Bible reading, prayer, and accountability, and the dangers of allowing children to indulge in popular, but ultimately spiritually harmful, novels and romances. The book argues that the neglect of these principles has led to a generation of children who are ignorant of the Bible and unconcerned with piety, a lamentable state of affairs that can only be reversed by a return to the biblical principles of child rearing. Its examples and advice are still as true and valuable today as they were when first written.
