Teaching Spiritual Truths
To teach children habits of order will take some time each day; but
this time is not lost. In the future, the mother will be more than repaid
for her efforts in this direction.
See that the children have a daily bath, followed by friction till
their bodies are aglow. Tell them that God does not like to see His
children with unclean bodies and ragged garments. Then go further,
and speak of inward purity. Let it be your constant effort to uplift and
ennoble your children.
We are living in the last days. Soon Christ is coming for His people
to take them to the mansions He is preparing for them. But nothing
that defiles can enter those mansions. Heaven is pure and holy, and
those who pass through the gates of the City of God must here be
clothed with inward and outward purity.
