"QUESTIONS TO BE THOUGHT UPON.
"1. Have I so prayed for my children as that my prayer produced an effect upon myself?
"2. Have I realized that to train my children for usefulness and heaven is probably the chief duty God requires of me?

"5. Have I yielded to importunity in altering a decision deliberately made?
"6. Have I punished the beginning of an evil habit?
