עמוד 10 - For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth ; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
עמוד 8 - ... if we directed their aspirations this way, it is probable that we should not have to complain of being disappointed, nor they of being deceived. Who can say that wealth can purchase better things than these ? and who can say that they are not within the reach of every man of sound body and mind, who, by labour not destructive of either, can procure for himself and his family food, clothing and habitation ?

עמוד 9 - Though a pious education is not universally successful, in bringing children into a truly religious state ; yet it is undoubtedly appointed by God for this end, and is perhaps more frequently attended with success than any other means of grace. Education may be comprised under these three heads, discipline, instruction, and example. These must all concur, and be agreeable to the word of God, in order to form what is comprehended under the idea of Christian education. Children are the proper subjects...
עמוד 11 - ... any kind, and of being impressed, permanently, by such instruction. It should be imparted frequently — or, rather, constantly, — as God directed his anointed people: "And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.
עמוד 15 - Riches thus expended are returned with increase into the bosoms of the generous; for ." the liberal soul shall be made fat, " and he who watereth shall be watered also him
