Screw The Truth Into Men's Minds.

If Family Religion Were Duly Attended To And Properly Discharged, I Think The Preaching Of The Word Would Not Be The Common Instrument Of Conversion.

If A Man That Is Desperately Sick Today, Did Believe He Should Arise Sound The Next Morning; Or A Man Today, In Despicable Poverty, Had Assurance That He Should Tomorrow Arise A Prince: Would They Be Afraid To Go To Bed....?

O What A Blessed Day That Will Be When I Shall . . . Stand On The Shore And Look Back On The Raging Seas I Have Safely Passed; When I Shall Review My Pains And Sorrows, My Fears And Tears, And Possess The Glory Which Was The End Of All!

Get Masters Of Families To Do Their Duty, And They Will Not Only Spare You A Great Deal Of Labor, But Will Much Further The Success Of Your Labors. You Are Not Like To See Any General Reformation, Till You Procure Family Reformation. Some Little Religion There May Be, Here And There; But While It Is Confined To Single Persons, And Is Not Promoted In Families, It Will Not Prosper, Nor Promise Much Future Increase.

Take Heed To Yourselves, Lest You Perish While You Call Upon Others To Take Heed Of Perishing, And Lest You Famish Yourselves While You Prepare Their Food.
