CHAPTER III:

CONDITIONS OF SUCCESSFUL TRAINING.

 

 

1. In the last Chapter you say there are certain conditions of successful training. What do you mean?

I mean that if there are certain things in you as a parent, -in your character and conduct, and in the teaching and management of your children,-you may safely reckon they will be saved and grow up to be good.

2. Will you please name what these conditions are? I want very carefully to consider them.

I will name them here, and afterwards try to explain them more fully:-

1. A godly parentage.

2. The parents must see clearly their responsibility to give this training, and must resolve to impart it.

3. The definite dedication of their children to God.

4. The blessing of a holy example.

5. The benefit of a wise and godly home government.

6. Correct teaching with regard to the relations and duties of the children.

7. A careful training in the personal practice of all that Is taught the children. by precept and example.
