I. IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN.
‘Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones.’ Matt. xviii. 10.
I. They are important to Society.
Our future soldiers, sailors, servants, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, &c., &c.
II. Important to yourselves.
The babe—the child—the young man—the young woman.
A gift (Gen. xxxiii. 5; xlviii. 9) which must prove either your crown (Prov. xvii. 6; Ps. cxxvii. 3) or your bitterness. Prov. xvii. 25; Gen. xlii. 38.
