   And be not afraid�察�above all�察�that such a plan of training will make
   your child unhappy。 I warn you against this delusion。 Depend on it��
   there is no surer road to unhappiness than always having our own way。
   To have our wills checked and denied is a blessed thing for us�察�it
   makes us value enjoyments when they e。 To be indulged perpetually is
   the way to be made selfish�察�and selfish people and spoiled children��
   believe me�察�are seldom happy。

   Reader�察�be not wiser than God�察�train your children as He trains His。

   XIV。 Train them remembering continually the influence of your own
   example。

   Instruction�察�and advice�察�and mands will profit little�察�unless they
   are backed up by the pattern of your own life。 Your children will never
   believe you are in earnest�察�and really wish them to obey you�察�so long
   as your actions contradict your counsel。 Archbishop Tillotson made a
   wise remark when he said�察 �To give children good instruction�察�and a bad
   example�察�is but beckoning to them with the head to show them the way to
   heaven�察�while we take them by the hand and lead them in the way to
   hell。;

   We little know the force and power of example。 No one of us can live to
   himself in this world�察�we are always influencing those around us�察�in
   one way or another�察�either for good or for evil�察�either for God or for
   sin。They see our ways�察�they mark our conduct�察�they observe our
   behaviour�察�and what they see us practise�察�that they may fairly suppose
   we think right。 And never�察�I believe�察�does example tell so powerfully
   as it does in the case of parents and children。

   Fathers and mothers�察�do not forget that children learn more by the eye
   than they do by the ear。 No school will make such deep marks on
   character as home。 The best of schoolmasters will not imprint on their
   minds as much as they will pick up at your fireside。 Imitation is a far
   stronger principle with children than memory。 What they see has a much
   stronger effect on their minds than what they are told。

   Take care�察�then�察�what you do before a child。 It is a true proverb�察 �
   Who sins before a child�察�sins double。; Strive rather to be a living
   epistle of Christ�察�such as your families can read�察�and that plainly
   too。 Be an example of reverence for the Word of God�察�reverence in
   prayer�察�reverence for means of grace�察�reverence for the Lord's day。Be
   an example in words�察�in temper�察�in diligence�察�in temperance�察�in faith��
   in charity�察�in kindness�察�in humility。 Think not your children will
   practise what they do not see you do。 You are their model picture�察�and
   they will copy what you are。 Your reasoning and your lecturing�察�your
   wise mands and your good advice�察�all this they may not understand��
   but they can understand your life。

   Children are very quick observers�察�very quick in seeing through some
   kinds of hypocrisy�察�very quick in finding out what you really think and
   feel�察�very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions。 You will often
   find as the father is�察�so is the son。

   Remember the word that the conqueror Caesar always used to his soldiers
   in a battle。 He did not say ;Go forward�察─�but ;e。; So it must be
   with you in training your children。 They will seldom learn habits which
   they see you despise�察�or walk in paths in。 which you do not walk
   yourself。 He that preaches to his children what he does not practise��
   is working a work that never goes forward。 It is like the fabled web of
   Penelope of old�察�who wove all day�察�and unwove all night。 Even so�察�the
   parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building
   with one hand�察�and pulling down with the other。

   XV。 Train them remembering continually the power of sin。 I name this
   shortly�察�in order to guard you against unscriptural expectations。

   You must not expect to find your children's minds a sheet of pure white
   paper�察�and to have no trouble if you only use right means。 I warn you
   plainly you will find no such thing。 It is painful to see how much
   corruption and evil there is in a young child's heart�察�and how soon it
   begins to bear fruit。 Violent tempers�察�self´will�察�pride�察�envy��
   sullenness�察�passion�察�idleness�察�selfishness�察�deceit�察�cunning�察�falsehood��
   hypocrisy�察�a terrible aptness to learn what is bad�察�a painful slowness
   to learn what is good�察�a readiness to pretend anything in order to gain
   their own ends��all these things�察�or some of them�察�you must be
   prepared to see�察�even in your own flesh and blood。 In little ways they
   will creep out at a very early age�察�it is almost startling to observe
   how naturally they seem to spring up。 Children require no schooling to
   learn to sin。

   But you must not be discouraged and cast down by what you see。 You must
   not think it a strange and unusual thing�察�that little hearts can be so
   full of sin。 It is the only portion which our father Adam left us�察�it
   is that fallen nature with which we e into the world�察�it is that
   inheritance which belongs to us all。 Let it rather make you more
   diligent in using every means which seem most likely�察�by God's
   blessing�察�to counteract the mischief。 Let it make you more and more
   careful�察�so far as in you lies�察�to keep your children out of the way of
   temptation。

   Never listen to those who tell you your children are good�察�and well
   brought up�察�and can be trusted。 Think rather that their hearts are
   always inflammable as tinder。 At their very best�察�they only want a
   spark to set their corruptions alight。 Parents are seldom too cautious。
   Remember the natural depravity of your children�察�and take care。

   XVI。 Train them remembering continually the promises of Scripture。

   I name this also shortly�察�in order to guard you against discouragement。

   You have a plain promise on your side�察 �Train up your child in the way
   he should go�察�and when he is old he shall not depart from it; ��Prov。
   22��6��。 Think what it is to have a promise like this。 Promises were the
   only lamp of hope which cheered the hearts of the patriarchs before the
   Bible was written。 Enoch�察�Noah�察�Abraham�察�Isaac�察�Jacob�察�Joseph��all
   lived on a few promises�察�and prospered in their souls。 Promises are the
   cordials which in every age have supported and strengthened the
   believer。 He that has got a plain text upon his side need never be cast
   down。 Fathers and mothers�察�when your hearts are failing�察�and ready to
   halt�察�look at the word of this text�察�and take fort。

   Think who it is that promises。 It is not the word of a man�察�who may lie
   or repent�察�it is the word of the King of kings�察�who never changes。 Hath
   He said a thing�察�and shall He not do it�拭�Or hath He spoken�察�and shall
   He not make it good�拭�Neither is anything too hard for Him to perform。
   The things that are impossible with men are possible with God。 Reader��
   if we get not the benefit of the promise we are dwelling upon�察�the
   fault is not in Him�察�but in ourselves。

   Think�察�too�察�what the promise contains�察�before you refuse to take
   fort from it。 It speaks of a certain time when good training shall
   especially bear fruit�察─�when a child is old。; Surely there is fort
   in this。 You may not see with your own eyes the result of careful
   training�察�but you know not what blessed fruits may not spring from it��
   long after you are dead and gone。 It is not God's way to give
   everything at once。 ;Afterward; is the time when He often chooses to
   work�察�both in the things of nature and in the things of grace。
   ;Afterward; is the season when affliction bears the peaceable fruit of
   righteousness ��Heb。 12��11��。 ;Afterward; was the time when the son who
   refused to work in his father's vineyard repented and went ��Matt。
   21��29��。 And ;afterward; is the time to which parents must look forward
   if they see not success at once��you must sow in hope and plant in
   hope。

   ;Cast thy bread upon the waters�察─�saith the Spirit�察 �for thou shalt
   find it after many days; ��Eccles。 11��1��。 Many children�察�I doubt not��
   shall rise up in the day of judgment�察�and bless their parents for good
   training�察�who never gave any signs of having profited by it during
   their parents' lives。 Go forward then in faith�察�and be sure that your
   labour shall not be altogether thrown away。 Three times did Elijah
   stretch himself upon the widow's child before it revived。 Take example
   from him�察�and persevere。

   XVII。 Train them�察�lastly�察�with continual prayer for a blessing on all
   you do。

   Without the blessing of the Lord�察�your best endeavours will do no good。
   He has the hearts of all men in His hands�察�and except He touch the
   hearts of your children by His Spirit�察�you will weary yourself to no
   purpose。 Water�察�therefore�察�the seed you sow on their minds with
   unceasing prayer。 The Lord is far more willing to hear than we to pray��
   far more ready to give blessings than we to ask them��but He loves to
   be entreated for them。 And I set this matter of prayer before you�察�as
   the top´stone and seal of all you do。 I suspect the child of many
   prayers is seldom cast away。
