To a Youth at School

Your parents regard you with tender affection and anxious hope. Should it please Almighty God to spare your life, you will certainly be an instrument of increasing the great mass of sin and misery, or the small sum of piety and happiness. How desirable to increase the latter! It is at present uncertain what station you will fill, what influence you will possess, or by what circumstances you will be surrounded. Man is born ignorant of every thing. Education is necessary, because you have every thing to learn. Impelled by duty to God and to you, your parents have placed you under the care of those whose instructions and admonitions, if rightly improved, will make you respectable and happy. Next to Christian ministers, your teachers and governors sustain, in various respects, the highest and most important office in the world. And since the time you will spend with them is short, you are under so much the greater obligation carefully to improve it. When you rise in the morning, fail not to acknowledge your dependence on God, whose watchful kindness continually preserves you. Adore him for his greatness and goodness. Confess to him your guilt. Beseech him to bestow pardon and purity of heart, through his Son Jesus Christ. Pray earnestly for an increasing aptitude to learn, and for such continued aid as may enable you to realize the best wishes of your friends. And while you pray for yourself, include your teachers, your schoolfellows, your parents, your friends, and all mankind. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
