Synopsis

Excerpt from The Duties of Parents: A Discourse, Preached in Christ Church, Cincinnati, January 17, 1831

Phil. To be as bad as myself? I'm black enough, God knows!

But, though, my beloved hearers, there are few pa rents, however had, who do not wish their children to be better than they themselves aref - yet, is it not too true, that most even of Christian fathers and mothers, do not fe'el as they ought the solemn responsibility which the parental relation devolves upon them? Hence the la mentable extent to which the duties of. Parents are ne glected, or very imperfectly performed. And could that fearful amount of sin and misery, which every where burdens, and pollutes, and oppresses the human family, be traced to its legitimate sources, much the largest por tion, I am persuaded, would be found to have originated in parental folly and negligence. Were this fountain of evil once thoroughly purified, our world would speedily present a far diflerent and happier aspect. 'doubtless many of you desire to bring about so goodly a result. And to such I would say that, in this-case, as well as in most other efforts to benefit society, it is best and indeed absolutely necessary (if we would accomplish much) to begin with ourselves: - and therefore, equally for my own sake, and yours, I now ask your attention to these words of holy scripture Bring them up, i. E. Your children, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
