The Religious Instruction of the Young
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.


1. See to it that we present the Divine character in a manner calculated to encourage young hearts.

2. Distinguish between the way in which death affects the body and the way in which it affects the spirit.

3. Make it clear that the religion of Christ is in harmony with all innocent recreation and enjoyment.

4. Do all in our power to interest the young in the services of the sanctuary.

5. See that you offer to the young the truth which God has revealed to you, and of which you have felt the power.

6. Avoid all treatment of the young that is calculated to dispirit and discourage. Be careful not to exact too much from them.

7. Be varied in your teaching, and do not be depressed if the attainment of your object is delayed.

(S. D. Hillman.)
