upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them
upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Notwithstanding this plain instruction, some of
God's people permit their children to attend the
public schools, where they mingle with those who
are corrupt in morals. In these schools their
children can neither study the Bible nor learn its
principles. Christian parents, you must make
provision for your children to be educated in Bible
principles. And do not rest satisfied merely with
having them study the Word in the church school.
Teach the Scriptures to your children yourselves
when you sit down, when you go out, when you
come in, and when you walk by the way. Walk
with your children much oftener than you do. Talk
with them. Set their minds running in a right
channel. As you do this, you will find that the light
and glory of God will come into your homes. But
how can you expect His blessing when you do not
teach your children aright?
