yisnonsty Edacation of Children. BY MRS. F. W. K. The children are the hope ot the earch; according as they are now coed. will be their character and! Jness when they take our places. we look around us and sce the read spirit of worldlinesss in chorch and the departure from told paths,’”” we are almost ready | tofeal that the hope of our fathers | { gnd_our ancient and holy religion | jg about tv dissappear, submerged | gnd overwhelined by the swelling | fede : how great the importance then | of so preparing and fortifying the ing to withstand the pressure; how can we better do this than early missionary education, that js, by training the children to regu- Jar, systematic and constant interest in the subject of missions. This may be done in various ways. First, by knowledge imparted. Talk tothe very little ones of the poor heathern children who have jeasant home, no loving care. 0 comfortable bed to he down in at ight no pretty things a,ound them, | nothing but filth and misery, nofSun- no Savior; let them put a petition fer these wretched ones in their “Now Llay me down to sleep,’’ | er. he impressions of childhood are | vivid and lasting; who of us acrived at middle age but can leok back and clearly recall the picture which used so often to meet our childish views ofthe heathen mother throwing her baby into the Ganges and the wide- open jaws of the river monsters waiting to seize it; it was our earli- est missionary sermons. A _ bible verse on the subject, a missionarv hymn, will come back with power to the mind in after years when the dear voice which taught it, may be hushed forever. } In these days ot multiplied pic- tures, books and papers, there is much literature on the subject which will interest and instruct the young if it is only placed in their han@ Secondly, we should teach them to give. it is comparatively easy to lead a little child into the experience that itis more blessed to give than to receive. It is hard to pursuade a man who has never lived on that lan to adopt it; the little one can be led to lay aside its pennies tor the missionary box and to contmue in the pracuce after it grows older. It is well to let children earn the money which they give by doing some Initle | work. so that they may give ‘hat which 1s their own and have cost them something, it is an easy matter for a child to run to its parents for money to use for this purpose, but the spirit of missions is the spirit of self sacrifice, acd if that spirit is to rule the child’s future life it must early be brought ‘into action and persistently practiced: and there is no better place to begin than right here ; he will probably look twice at the money, which he feels is_intirely his own, before he will give it up to God; but when he can_ once decide | to put his little free will oftering into the treasury of the Lord he has taken the first step which likens him to the self sacrificing Lord himself—a step which is worth more in the forma- tion of character than years of merely passing the parent’s money through hishands. A child trained to this mode of giving will not inafter years expect to have a dish of ice cream or achance in a church lottery, for every quarter which he gives to the Lord’s cause. And let it not be said that this is too strict andsevere a method for the little ones; mother think of the | fate ot that darling daughter, the | character of that cherished son, had they been born heathens; they owe itto the loving Lord who alone | makes us to differ, that they have 2} happier lot; can you then, dare you, | refuse to teach and to urge upon them early and late and by all means in your power, their obligations to those wretched oacs tor whom Christ died as equally for them? Thirdly we must teach them by | example. And here is the most po- ter.t influence of all; the stream can- not rise higher than the fountain; as the parent, so will be the child. If itis accustomed from its years to a manitestation of interest in misstons on the part ot its parents, if it hears words of loving sympathy for mis- | sionaries, it it sees the effort at selt- demal in order to give something to the cause, if, in’shorty that: precious early home influence 1s full of this spirit, the child will never grow up to say when asked to contribute to missionaries, ‘I don’t believe in missions;"? ‘‘Charity begins at home,”’ andthe like. Here in the home are all foyn- dations. laid, and what can we! expect of the chila when the whole | energy apparently of the professedly christian mother is expended upon dress, vain show, and contormity to; pra: the world’s ways, both for herself | and child; it sees her anxiety after | the latest fashion and the costliest material in dress, hears her thougnt- less, slighting remark upon ‘a plam generation that they shall be | us, ; teach my werds dilligently unto thy | no j day school, no sweet bible verses, | or unfashionably dressed neighbor, if fully aware of the amount of time, | pains and money spent over exces will her words have when occasion- ally aroused from her spiritual leth- | argy, she speaks in taver of higher things; children see with clearer eyesight than ours; they kaow us as we are, not as we seem. How | ferent will be the influence of that mother whose whole life 1s aa exem- plication ot her precepts! | Some of*us can look back to such mothers and have good right to speak | ot their influence, however poorly | we may have profited by it. | God says to us, “Thou shalt when thy attend in thou nouse, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou riseth up.’’ Household Receipts. { To Peal Peaches.—Dip them a | minute in hot water, then in cold, and the skia peals off readily.
