Temperance
How hard to teach such ones and make them feel the necessity of
Christian temperance, when they reach maturity. The temperance
lessons should commence with the child rocked in the cradle.—

The Final Reckoning
—When parents and children meet at the
final reckoning, what a scene will be presented! Thousands of
children who have been slaves to appetite and debasing vice, whose
lives are moral wrecks, will stand face to face with the parents who
made them what they are. Who but the parents must bear this fearful
responsibility? Did the Lord make these youth corrupt? Oh, no! He
made them in His image, a little lower than the angels.—
