 It will save a thousand tears from the child's eyes! ~ Spurgeon

(Charles Spurgeon, "The Christian Training of Children")

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

Babes receive impressions long before we are aware of the fact. During the first months of a child's life--it learns more than we imagine. It soon learns the love of its mother, and its own dependence; and if the mother is wise--it learns the meaning of obedience, and the necessity of yielding its will to the parent's will.

This may be the keynote of its whole future life. If it learns obedience and submission early--it will save a thousand tears from the child's eyes--and as many from the mother's heart! A special vantage-ground is lost--when even babyhood is left uncultured.

-C. H. Spurgeon
