N ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY 3
THE REV. ROBERT COLLYER. | j
S . ]
Subject: Leading Children Softly. J
Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Rev. Robert 1
3ollyer, the oldest Unitarian pastor 1
n Greater New York, preached in the 1
Second Unitarian Church, Clinton and
Congress streets, Sunday morning. His 1
ast appearance in that church was last 1
'all, when he delivered an address on <
lie late Rev. Dr. John White Chad- ]
vick, the former pastor, who had just 1
lied. The eloquent preacher took for !
lis text: Genesis xxxiii:13-14, "The (
hildren are tender; I will lead on soft- 1
v." and said:
it was one of the secrets of my craft,
n the old days when I wanted to weld
ron or work steel to a fine purpose.
y begin gently. If I began as all
?arners do, to strike my heaviest blows
jt the start, the iron would crumble
pstead of welding, or the steel would
puffer under my hammer, so that,
phen it came to be tempered it would
fly," we used to say, and rob the *
hing I had made of its finest quality,
t was the first condition of a good
ob to begin gently, later 1 could strike
rith a firmer hand, and in the end pour
ut all my might in a storm of sturdy
lows; but if I began so it ended, as a
ule, with a wreck. The perfection of
tie Nasmyth hammer lies in the blendig
of its gentleness and its ponderous
light, so that it can come down as
ently as a June shower or smite like a
jraado, according to the need of the
ijbment. So the skillful mechanic
uarts new machinery, a locomotive,
Jsteam engine or even a sewing maBpine,
gently. It is the first condition

$o I love to note such things as these
s!' I watch the perpetual advent of ^
ttle children into this life of curs, and j
?nder how we shall deal with them in ^
ife one wjsc way wmcn wm wem j
i/bm, shall I say, to -whatsoever things ^
je true and lovely and of good report, j
art them to the surest purpose and
iin them so as to bring out the r
hole power for good which God has j
Lfiden la their nature. There must be .
?e right way, and I think this father t
>und it when he said: "The children ^
re tender; I will lead them on softly." t
hey may seem crude, mere machines ^
little brutes; there are some men ?
ho seem by their actions to have ^
ich notions of a child's nature, to ^
leir eternal shame. Here is the prin- c
pie: They are tender; we must lead ^
lem on softly. Solomon may slip in ^
ith his cruel maxim of "Spare the rod (
id spoil the child." He has no busi- c
?ss about my place while my children c
e tender. I can no more be hard
1 them than Jesus could. If I hurt
icm in this evil way I hurt those
ho are of the kingdom of Heaven, j
y white hairs have brought me this ?
isdom: That the unpardonable sin r
to be hard on a tender child. I do
>t wonder that the old grandsire is so s
:ntle with the second generation. He ^
ill not tell you, or himself, perhaps, jhy
he is, but he would faiu recall i
me passages of his fatherhood, but |
at cannot be done, so he chokes back j
e inextinguishable regret and humbly c
ies to get even through the overeasure.
Mr coo(f mother was some- ?
iing of a Spartan, a very gentle j
tartan, "with her children, but it was
jnderfuily beautiful to see her in f
r old age spreading her wide, grand, i
Dtherly wings over the children of i
e new day. She could no more be
rd upon tbem, no matter what t
anks they played, than your May f
n can be hard upon your May bios- j
m. It was tbe return of the heart c
the soft answer, tbe sweet submis>n
to the better plan, the vision of
e infinite worth of gentle ways with
nder folk, the endeavor, unknown to
rself, to ease her dear old heart of c
hat little pain there was from tbe 1
1 days, the feeling that perhaps she *
ight have gone mor? softly once. j
rhese children are not things at all t

bildren are tender we must rememas
we try to educate them. Wo
Id hardly light on a -wiser or better
pan than Mrs. Barbauld; but sbe
i so eager to make a very remarkaman
out of her little nephew,
[rles Aiken, that she educated him
of his mind into idiocy. So good
?nts, who would shrink from laying
vj burden on their children's backs,
pot hesitate to Iny burdens on tbe
ire and brain. They urge them on
peir books, or permit the teachers
o this, untii the poor young things
more in wealth of life and life's f
ih than their education will ever (
for. Lead on softly in these c
b of sdncatiTB. U you' children -
ivant to rush ahead at a pace -which
cvill leave them learned but invalids,
io!d them back: a true education is
lot a long fever. Here and there a
:hild may need to be urged on a little,
fut I frankly confess that under the
ligh pressure of our public schools I
would take the children's side in their
ittle plots to stay away a day from
school when they have been hard at
tvork for many days. I like to plot
vith them; tluir success pleases me
nore than their failure.
In the culture of the heart, also, we
nust lend on softly. I can no more beieve
that hard and cruel thoughts of
3od will bo good for my children than (
[ can believe in hard and cruel words ,
ind blows, and I have no doubt there
ire more so-called infidels made, and
.'onfiriued to that end. by fathers who |
hought they were doing God's service
ban there are of any other type. Such
houghts may be but theology to the
'ather, but they are very often grim,
lard, real biting torment to the tender
;hild. It shuts out Heaven and opens
lell to him: it is cruel as the*hissing
md biting of serpents to some delicate
small souls. I suffered more agony at
>ne time in my childhood when a revivalist
got hold of me and made me
jelieve I might wake up in hell when
! laid my poor little head on the pillow
ban from any other thing that ever
itruck me. There lies the way to do a
'atal mischief, the way the seeds of inidelity
are sown in many a noble naure.
It is simply the revolt at. the re;islance
to, and the rejection of, a God
heir nature is too large and sweet and
ender to tolerate. If in these early
lays there is no day star of a lovelier
ight, no dawning for the small, bright
;oul of a better day. then there may be
10 chance for that soul to pass into the
wingdom until it has passed out of the
;vorld.
TFhen we quote the Scripture: "Train
ip a child in the way he should go," we
nust still take heed to our ways lest !
ve think more of the Scripture than j
ve think of the child?fix our mind and j
mrpose on the other rather than the j
lither end of the way and train him
!or what he should be at forty rather '
han -what he must be in childhood and
routb. We must answer for what is
vritten in the book of the life of our 1
rhildreu. I must lay the patriarch's 1
jentle purpose to my boart: "The ]
hildren are tender, I will lead on 1
softly," for these in my care, who ]
tlso have the long hard journey before 1
hem.
If this is true ef the shadow, how
:rue it must be of the light. If ours
s a hard and poor lot, no man or 1
voman. father or mother, need ever I i
'ear the children -will fail to look back- .
vard to the early years with a tender
ove, if by all the means in our power
ve make pood for them the patriarch's
)urpose. I tbink, indeed, our love for
be old home is very often deepest and
>urest in those who have had to face
he hardest times if we have fought
hrough them in this bright, good way,
tnd led the children on softly. There
vere homes in this country fifty, sixty,
seventy years ago bare of all things
;ave this one secret?they are the dearest
places on the earth to-day in mem*
>ry of men and women who have everyhing
now tbe heart can desire. And
vhen we have done this, what better
an we do tban put the whole wealth
>f our endeavor in trust into the hands
if God. -
"Thon Art My Lltrht."
'A touching incident was narrated by
Dr. R. F. Horton on the second Sunday
ifter his return from months of treatnent
by a celebrated German oculist.
He was waiting in the oculist's conlulting
room, not knowing whether or
lot the remainder of his life was to
)e passed in darkness, when he put his
land into his pocket and drew out his
ittle Bible?not to read it, but to see if
le could. As he opened it his eyes fell
m the text:
"For Thou are my lamp, 0 Lord;
ind the Lord will lighten my darkless."
"I had not been aware of $he very
'xistence of this test," he said, "and
do not know who but an angel could
lave led me to it; but I felt that,
vhether I received my sight or not,
hose words were enough for me, and
rom that time I seemed to know that
should continue to proclaim the words
if this blessed Book."
JInty Above Lire.
Life is a matter of very small ac'ount
to any one in comparison with
iuty-doing, whether a man realizes
his truth or not. Whatever is worth
iving for is worth dying for, if dying
)e an incident to its pursuing. When j
he Roman General, Fompey, was
yarned against the danger of his reurning
from Egypt to Italy, to meet
t new trouble in his own land, his i
leroic answer was: "It is a small mater
that I should move forward and
iie. It is too greet a matter that I
:hould take one step backward and
ive." Life is never well iived when
t is held dearer than duty. He who
vov.ld tell a lie in order to live is wiling
to pay a great deal larger price for
lis life than that life is worth to him;elf?or
to others.?H. C. Trumbull.
Gentle Specch.
A single bitter word may disquiet
in entire family for a whole day. One .
;urly glance easts a gloom over tbe
lousehold, while a smile of sunshine *

lours. Like unexpected flowers which <
;pring up along- our footpatb, full of
"rcshness. fragrance and beauty, so \
cind words, and gentle acts, and sweet (
lispositions make glad the sacred spot (
ailed home. No matter how humble
he abode, if it be sweetened with
iindness and smiles the heart will turn 1
ongingly toward it from all the tumult
