Description

It is a situation of tremendous responsibility to be a parent--for the manner in which you discharge the duties of this relation, you must give an account in that dreadful day when the secrets of all hearts shall be judged by Jesus Christ. With every babe that God entrusts to your care, he in effect sends the solemn injunction--"Take this child, and bring it up for me"--and at the final audit, will inquire in what manner you have obeyed the command. It will not then be sufficient to plead the strength of your affection, nor the ceaseless efforts to which it gave rise; for if these efforts were not directed to a right end, if all your solicitude was lavished upon inferior objects, you will receive the rebuke of Him that sits upon the throne. It is of infinite importance that you should contemplate your children in their true character. They are animal beings, and therefore it is highly proper that you should use every effort to provide them with suitable food, clothing, habitations--and everything else that can conduce to the comfort of their present existence. They are social beings, and it is important that you should qualify them to enjoy the comforts, and discharge the duties of social life. They are rational beings, and it is your duty to furnish them with every possible advantage for the culture of their minds. But if you look no further than this, you leave out of sight the grandest and most important relations in which they can be seen, and will of course neglect the most important of your duties towards them--for they are IMMORTAL beings--the stamp of eternity is upon them--everlasting ages are before them! They are like the rest of the human race--depraved, guilty, and condemned creatures; and consequently in danger of eternal misery. Yet are they, through the mercy of God, and the mediation of Christ, creatures capable of attaining to glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life. Looking upon them in this light (and this is the light in which you profess to contemplate them)--what should be your chief concern concerning them, and what your conduct towards them?
