Bernard Fell emphasizes the importance of nurturing and admonishing children in the ways of the Lord, highlighting the responsibility parents have in shaping their children's hearts and minds before the world's influences take hold. He encourages parents to feed God's lambs with love, gentle manners, and good behavior, focusing on molding their children in realms of grace rather than worldly standards. By pointing their children towards the Lord as the ultimate target, parents can guide them on a straight course in life and ultimately gather as a complete family in the realms of glory.

Bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 "Feed My lambs." The Shepherd calleth, They are placed within thy care, While the heart is warm and tender, Ere the world seeks entrance there. Happy parents! precious priv'lege! 'Tis a work that shall abide; And the training in life's morning Shall remain at eventide. Gentle manners, good behaviour, Love's restrictions-have a place; More important is the moulding Of thy bairns in realms of grace. As the arrow leaves the quiver, Poised in bow and sent abroad, Point the straight course to thy dear ones, And the target is the Lord. Wouldst thou meet in realms of glory As a family complete? Even now within thy dwelling Gather at the Shepherd's feet.
