TRAINING CHILDREN & SUNDAY SCHOOLS 1886 1/2

It is in vain to educate your children — vain to train them in mind and morals, with a view that it will prepare them for heaven. They must be born again; they must have spiritual life. 

But we would not be understood as disparaging education and morality, for we do not so design; but would teach that nothing short of God's grace will regenerate them, and without which they will be lost, even though they were taught to speak with the tongue of men and angels, and had all knowledge and knew all mysteries, all their moral, mental and physical culture would be as a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal in their eternal salvation. 

Nor will it do our children any good to teach them to assume responsibilities for which 'they are not qualified. It would require more of them than they would be able to perform, and our love for them should forbid such a requisition upon them. No prudent father would put his son into a worldly position even, for which he is not prepared, and much less should he put him into a spiritual position for which he is unqualified; that is, to put him into the position of a Christian, or induce him to assume the responsibilities of that high calling because of his moral and mental ability and training; for instead of doing him good, it would be a positive injury to him. 

The calling of a Christian is the highest one in the world, as the calling of Yashti was the highest in the empire of Ahasuerus; and if she, possessing mental, moral, and physical culture in its highest excellence, fell for lack of capacity to fill it, is it reasonable that one now, with equal capacity, shall attain to the excellence of which she fell short? 

Nay; though one "be full of wisdom and perfect in beauty;" "though thou hast been the garden of God; though wast in the holy mountain of God, and hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire;" if thy wisdom and beauty are such as lifts up thy heart, "I will cast thee down." — Ez. 

It is absurd to say that the assumption of Christian obligations will prepare men to fulfill them; that is to say, by joining the church one gets to be a Christian. 

— Elder JR. Respess

The PDF is searchable, but some of the older issues, are smudged thus affecting the software's ability to find the words.
