In order t:.> propedy govern a fannly .we must first govern ourselves, rcmembermg t h at "an ounce of example is worth a pound of p er c.ipt" any time. It is utterly useless stri vmg to correct bad temper and other faults m our children while_ we arc gwen tu ltke ermrs .rnrselvcs , for they will du as we do, not as we .wiy. 1t also b ecoml:'s us to ha17 e grea.t patience with our ch1ldren, bearing :ihrnys 111 mind that their faults 1mrl failures are largely inherited, and tlut we, their parents, are in a great meusure r esponsible for those very faults which we correct m t hem. If we could romov'l the evil tendences with which our ~hildrcn are born, our task of home go' er111ue11t would be urnch lighter, a nd we could work confident of success ; but as that rn impossible, the best we can do is to kctJp, or try to k eep, the evil in their natures tiuiescent, and to fill their minds with l(OOd principles. Theroforn l mamt.am that non e but truly pious parents can successfully gove rn a family, for children are quick to n otice inconaistences in parent or t,ea cher, ancl if we would have them do right, we 111 URt lead the m by walking circumspectly in the narrow path oul'sclves ; it is worse than usokss trymg to dri,,e them on the ri1rht track while we travel on tile wrong. I ~re n ot how well a family is trained in the principles of hones·y, industry a nd like ,-irtues, or how well they a re educated in school, if they are not trained in the "viitue a,nd admonition of the Lord," and filled with the "wioldom that maketh wise unto t;alvat 1011, " that fa111ily, in going into the world, is liable to failure . I know whereof I spe«k , fur I have seen families of bright, clever boys and flirls pushed forward m all the world 's accomplishments, to the exclusion of he:tvenly things, 1 mcl sometimes, owing perhaps to b emg thrown iuto ~ood company, they luve done very well, anrl become use ful nien and women ; but too often have I seen the pt·omiamg young man or young woman fouuder on some one of the many rocks of t emptation that are scattered throughout t h e sea of life. .A ml no wonder they are cast away, for a human being sent out into the world to gain a h vrng anC. make his way therein, without t he sustaining influence of a pure religion to keep him steady and on tht1 right track, IS like a ship makmg a voyage without a rudder, onl y to be <.:<1st h ~Jplessly about at the uicrcv of wmd a.id wave. \V oddly "accomplishments must by no mea.us be neglected, but our tirst great duty to our children is t<· strive earnestly to lead them to Jesus. In every home t hore ~ho ulcl b e au altar set up, iiround which, if possible, every member of t he family should be gathered morning and e\·euiug, while the father presents the petitions of the hou~el!old fur c<ire and g uidance, to th e 110hce of the lovin~ :Father in h e:w en, who d elights to hear and an swer true prayer.
