“Children are to be taught to magnify the Lord; they ought to be well informed as to his wonderful doings in ages past, and should be made to know his strength, and the wonderful works that he has done. The best education is education in the best things. The first lesson for a child should be concerning his mother’s God. Teach him what you will, if he learn not the fear of the Lord, he will perish for lack of knowledge. Every satchel should have a bible in it. The world may teach secular knowledge alone, tis all she has a heart to know, but the church must not deal so with her offspring; she must look well to every child, and see to it that he knows the Holy Scriptures.”
