The first point touched was that of "Home ReInstruction," which was assigned Pastor Shields of tbto city. He took the ground that sufficient eminence was not i given ihto department by those who oogfat he moat iolettsred. The acbool was dependent an the borne at tbe chief and primary agent In tbe proper Instruction and religious training of tbe children. A mother's influence bow ear.y it was fell in ! A point to be emphasized ia tbia ooonerikm, and one which gave extra prominence to tbe responsibility res, ing , oo parents, was that they had the authority to Impart Instruction to their chlidren. I"areota cannot eacape tbe irapanaihility of the charge laid open them. It waa . their privilege to enforce good and wbotelasacirn with authority and to encourwith love.
