I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Now unto the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory now and forever. Amen. Next, the children may be required to bring texts in reply to such questions as these: Who is Jesus Christ? For what did he come into this world? What is the character of Jesus Christ? What has he done for us? What does he require of us? What is to be the condition of those who are wicked after death? What is to be the condition of the good after death? How are we to escape from the portion of the wicked after death? How are we to gain the rewards of the good after death? Some such question can be given each morning; and the children can be required to learn a text from the Bible, which will answer this question, to repeat the next morning. If they are too young to find it themselves, they can be required to ask the aid of their companions who are older, or of their friends at home. The being, character, and works of God, the feelings and duties owed to him, and our relations and duties in reference to a future state, are the topics which usually are classed as _religious_ instruction. _Moral training_ commonly is understood as relating to the duties we owe to ourselves and to our fellow-creatures. In this department the following methods could be adopted: Each morning, some one of such practical texts as the following could be given out for the children to reflect on through the day, and in reference to which, they can be required to seek from books, or from their friends, some cases in which this command of God is either obeyed or disobeyed. “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” “Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” “Recompense to no one evil for evil.” “Forbear one another, and forgive one another, if any one have a quarrel; as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” “Bless them that curse you; bless, and curse not.” “If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink.” “Put away _lying_, and speak every one truth with his neighbour.” “Put on humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering.” “Be followers of Christ, who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who hath left us an example, that we should walk in his steps.” When such texts are given out, their spirit and meaning should be illustrated by example, and then the children should be required to learn the text, and next morning to bring some case to illustrate the violation of, or obedience to this rule. But it is not sufficient to give children clear views of duty, and store their memories with the precepts enforcing their duties.
