Excerpt from Life at Home: Or the Family and Its Members
The following pages substantially were preached as a series of discourses to the people of the writer"s pastoral charge. The favor with which they were received and the request of the publisher have led him to believe that their issue in a more permanent form might be desirable and useful.
At a time when the sacredness of the marriage relation is so much called in question, and when the bonds which hold the family together are in danger of being lightly esteemed, any attempt to exalt the family life may be hopeful of good.
The failure to reach the highest happiness of married life, and the best results of family training are caused, we may believe, not so much by willfulness as by ignorance or inexperience.
