CORRESPONDENCE. THE Aii.UX TO Tin: J'KONT. Mu. Elinor,.—Some say they would dice to hour from that lady again. I sup pose that means myself, its I wrote some ■ to your paper under that name. But site Co), failed to answer, so I stopped, But in answer to the call made, I again appear upon the stage of action. But ■bis time, and hereafter, I shall sign my «>wn name. I shall not attempt to write a ! political letter this time, as I have a sub ■ct I deem of greater importance than politics. I sec in your valu d.le paper a letter j from Simon f’ordwood. He gives an ac- 1 count of a bad shooting scrape, and then moralizes upon the character of the ria-; iug generation, I agree with brother j Cordwood in his ideas. I do hate to see . young man so profligate. 1 bate to hear | them using indecent and profane lan- j uuage. t hate to sec them with a pistol, j bottle of whiskey and a, deck of cards on • iu ii person What an awful prospect is tills, when our country depends on the 1 generation i rising as her only hope. It j does so mi a haul crowd to choose from to ' fill positions of trust and honor. But I hope wc may be able to line! enough men. good and true, among them to till, tour | otiicis. Ob, to think that iu this boguti- \ ful free land of ours, where every com-1 im.nity,every village and hamlet are well j supplied with free schools, churches a ml Sabbath schools to educate our young, mentally, morally and spiritually, many such characters. B:other (birdwood asks the question: “Who is to blame?” Well, brother Si moil, wo can’t tell who is to blame in ev cry particular, but we might as well be plain. I have obseivod very closely and I believe that in most cases parents are to blame. I know this is a seiious charge to make against parents, but I consider it true. ELow many parents even though th-y be Christian parents, that clo tlair duty by their children as they should? Ho.v many parents use their influence and authority to its full extent and to the best advantage? I believe there are few. How many parents make a study of the character of their children and treat .each according to its disposition? I know many who use influence when authority should be used, and use au¬ thority when their influence would have been far tiie best. All children cannot be, must not be treated in the same way. As their natures and disposition differ, so must they be handled differently, to obtain the same good result in each. That would be a mean child indeed, in whom there is no good to be found, no responsive chord in its bosom to be touch ed. I believe every child has some good qualities, some tender spot, some rt spoil sive chord hidden m the very dcptiis iis nature, that may and can be in the right way, if the right kind of in- j flueu.ee is brought to bear upon it. O, parents, what auswer are you going to make to God iu that great day when you and your children shall meet togeth- { ! er at the judgement bar of Christ.? When he shall demand youi children at your hands, demand an account of your stew ardsliip. When, perchance, vour own children shall stand there as your accu ser. Oh, what answer, I say, shall you then make? Will you, then, like the man without a wedding garment, be speech¬ less? Oh, parents, while your children are yet young and pure in heart, lead | them to the Saviour. Fir he says, “ 1 suf . ’ j fer little children to-come unto me. and i fobid them not,for of su h is the k ug lom j | of heaven. When they are young, oh, . parents, is the time to use your influence j for good, Then is the time to com ornate j them to the most high Ged, in prayer and holy consociation. When they are young they are easily impressed v. i.h a lasting impression, but when they have j grown up and become hardened in sin, ! your prayers may never reach them. | Theu it may be everlastingly and eterna' ly too late. They may die under ibe just displeasure and condemnation < f God and ! be damned to au eternal hell. “The • wfeked shall bo turned into hell with all the nations that forget God,” so says his holy word. 0, parents, take these preci- otis children of yours while they arc free from guile, fold them closer, ever closer to your breast. Teach and instruct them, explaining to them the love and mercy of God the Father, the patient suffering, crucitixion, burial, resurrection and the ascension and advocacy of Jesus Christ the Son and the quickening and comforting powers of the Holy Ghost, Tell them of their duties, and the way in which they must walk, in order to obtain this life everlasting. Oh, says somebody, they are (do young, they can't stand such things. Christ said to Peter, “Feed my lambs” as well as "feed my ■sheep. ’ Again, the Bible teaches us that out of the mouths of babes and Biddings proceedeth wisdom. Such being the case they car. and will understand, if instruct ed properly, prayerfully and with a faith that can remove mountains. Again, we should teach our children by our own daily walk. Our children pattern after us and follow in our footsteps to a extent while yet they are young. One eminent minister of the Gospel, one time said that lie could find no fault in any of his children but what ho or his wife had the same fault. This is most generally the case until the child grows up and throws off parental authority and con tracts evil habits from evil associates. The Bible, book of all books, the word of the living God, says: “Train up a child in the way it should'go, and when it is old it will not depart from it.” Now, if pa rents would only lay hold of this promise with perfect faith, perfect belief and do tlieir duty in raising up their children, this promise shall and will prove true, for God is the same to-day, to-morrow and forever, “for not a hoof shall be behind” and He has promised to “pour out liis spirit upon our seed and bless our o.f-spring.” He is God and He lies not, and if we do our duty and believe with our whole heart and soul that He will do as be promises, it shall bo done. This is my faith, my religion. Wliat we lack as Christians is faith. Faith in Go I a id j His promise to save to the uttermost and His power to cleanse Horn all I cousness. As Christians, let us exercise this faith and do our duty and Bvo. Cord wood and others will no longer com plain. C A MACS C'U EH MAX. “HE EE MOSES STIILE.” “■ Bi>i; on.
