The parents who stood at Horeb learned that God required them to train
their children to implicit and uncompromising obedience, and he who
closely studies the Word of God can find no other or lighter
requisition. How will the received opinions and customs of this age
compare with the demand?
We ask our young friends, who may perchance glance over these pages, to
pause a moment and consider: If capital punishment should now be
inflicted on every disobedient child, how many roods of earth would be
planted with the instruments of death? If every city were doomed to
destruction in which the majority of sons and daughters "set light by
father and mother," how many would remain? To every child living comes a
voice, "Know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into
judgment."

BROTHERLY LOVE.
BY REV. MANCIUS S. HUTTON, D.D.
Be kindly affectioned one to another, with brotherly love, in
honor preferring one another.
(Concluded from page 108.)
To aid you in making the effort to comply with the injunction we have
been considering, I add the following considerations:
1st. It is right, this you will all acknowledge, no matter how unkindly
a brother or sister may treat you, you will acknowledge that it is never
right for you, never pleasing to God, that you should treat them
unkindly in return.
