It Is hardly necessary to say that ever since
the formation of these institutions, which was
more than forty years since, that they have uni
versally prospered, and never has the downfall ol
one been registered on its annals.
Let them speak for themselves.—Let ours
have a voice. And if any are yet unacquainted
with their utility—if any wish to see a proof of
their good effects, let them visit the Sunday
Sellout in Milledgeville, and 1 presume to say
that every shadow of doubt will be dispelled,
and every speculative inquiry silenced.

It is natural to suppose that parents feel most
deeply interested in this institution. The rea
sons are obvious, but two numerous to be noticed
in a brief essay. One however is too important
to be passed over. That is, that the first impres

habitual, for “just as the twig is bent the trees’
inclined.”
But some argue that these things may be taught
them at home. Upon the same principle a man
may all his life time study the map of a country
in his chimney corner,but, after alfjiis knowledge
will be only founded upon the assertions of
others. The mind of man is so curiously framed
that it needs a variety of springs to keep it in
action. And the means of grace are the best
adapted to produce this action, for the great law
