DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Family, a Religious Institution, or Heaven Its Model Let those who have gone from the quiet places of their youth, where they were educated, amid the sacred re straints and endearments of a well-ordered rural home, and are now resident, with their own growing house holds, in the midst of some more bustling town, or in the bosom of some vast and whirling metropolis - let them look back and contrast the home of their own youthful days with the present home of their children, and they cannot fail to see the peculiar advantages of the former, and the besetting snares of the latter. Amid the ten thousand diversions of the city, frequently operating, alike upon parents and children, either drawing them from their own evening circles, or interrupting their hallowed quiet, by the infusion of countless frivolities, there is imminent danger that household bonds will be come extensively weakened - that parental influence will become circumscribed - that the home of youth will be poisoned, and the foundations of society become out of course.
