Top Highlights
“To relieve the young from healthful labor is the worst possible course a parent can pursue. Their life is then aimless, the mind and hands unoccupied, the imagination active, and left free to indulge in thoughts that are not pure and healthful. This gives them opportunity for a more free indulgence in that vice which is the foundation of all their complaints.” (Page 13)
“Secret indulgence is in many cases the only real cause of the numerous complaints of the young” (Page 13)
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.’” (Page 29)
“Secret vice is the destroyer of high resolve, earnest endeavor, and strength of will to form a good religious character” (Page 9)
“ of teaching your children the lesson of self-control, you should learn it yourself.” (Page 21)
