want to teach the children God’s
word, for that is something we all
need to know, old and young, for
God commands us to study His
Word and find out what he would
have us do. Fathers and mothers,
are you teaching your children
God’s word as you should, are you
teaching them like you are teach
ing them to farm and go in worldly
styles? Mothers and sisters, if
your boy or brother ever gets into
trouble, will he have to say, “I
never heard you pray or you
never taught me the word of God
as you should?” Oh, it will be
too late to weep, and pray then.
Think and start in time, train a
child up in the way he should go,
and when he grows older he will
not depart from it.
