PREFACE The substance of the following brief treatise, was
delivered in the form of an address before a literary society,
consisting of candidates for the gospel ministry, at the
anniversary of the New-Hampton Theological Institution, for the
year 1847; and subsequently repeated, with such modifications as
the circumstances and occasion required, to the congregation under
the pastoral care of the author. In complying with the numerous
requests that have been made to him for its publication, the author
has been influenced by the opinion expressed by many, that the
subject, though comparatively novel, is one of vast importance, not
only to the efficiency and usefulness of the Christian minister,
but more especially to the Sabbath School teacher, and the
Christian parent, who would succeed in adapting the momentous
truths of the Gospel to the understandings of their youthful
charge. It is hoped also that the interesting illustrations of
truth, which have been selected as examples of the principles laid
down, will render the work not devoid of interest to readers, who
belong to neither of these classes. Those who listened to the
delivery of the discourse in its original form will find some few
additional paragraphs, added, in most instances, for the purpose of
adapting the work to the faithful and pious teacher as well as to
the minister of the gospel. Such as it is, it is commended to the
blessing of God, and to the careful attention of the youthful
ministry and the Sabbath School teachers of our land, by their
affectionate fellow-laborer and servant, for Christ's sake, The
