Not illustrated. 1841 edition. Excerpt: ...were equally vain. The tender-hearted boy was hardened in sin. A coat of mail was on his soul. " How would your parents feel, should they hear that you had become a Christian?" said a pious friend to him, one day, as they were for a moment together. It was an arrow that found its way through the joints of the harness and reached his heart. The rock was smitten and the waters gushed. The fountains of the great deep were broken up. He fell on his knees and besought his friend to pray. He thought of home; of a parent's prayers and tears, and as early recollections thronged on his mind, he resolved to return. He did turn to God. He renounced the ways of sin, and consecrated himself to the Saviour; and often have those parents' hearts been filled with joy, as they have heard the gospel preached by him whom they had in infancy dedicated to the ministry.

God em-ploys means to accomplish his purposes. In this case, he caused the early instructions of those pious parents to spring up like long-buried seed, in the heart of that wayward youth. And such impressions are the most powerful that human instrumentality can make on the soul. The ties that entwine around the heart, and bind it to the scenes of early life, are the strongest that man can throw around his fellow man. And when the sinner leaves the path of virtue and wanders into the ways of the transgressor, those impressions grow fainter and fainter, those ties weaker and weaker; but as long as they are not wholly obliterated or broken, there is hope. Oh yes! there is hope for the vilest prodigal who has not yet forgotten his father's counsels...
