"For Children," The Gospel Messenger vol. 4 no. 8 (Aug. 1882)
Children, it is a good thing for you to read the Holy Scriptures. My father made me read them when I was a young child, and I remember to this day some things I read in them when I was about six years old. It is true that the reading of the Scriptures will not make you Christians, but it will not do you harm, but do you good. You learn in them your duty to your parents as a child; and the promise of long life in that obedience. Many children have come to the grave through disobedience to their parents. |
