be mttde to believe that, in the
economy of gmee, provision was
not made for the reiigfon* training
and salvation of tlie children of the
church. And that this is to he done
whHe they are children. It ran not
be reconciled with Infinite Wisdom,
that rife children of chrl.tt inn parents
nre to grow up in sin; that, notwith
standing they have special advnn
tagos In the way of piety, yet we are
to expect nothing decisive from them
litl at a certain jx-riod, more cr Irss
remote, they are cotivertesl and
brought lock to the fold from which
they had strayed.
It would be a strange policy,
indeed, fora nation to pursar nock
a course toward her youth, ns to
lend them to suppose that, from the
necessity of the case, they most
identify themselves with an slien
peoph', and that when they are ohl
enough to he drilled into service,
tiicy must b<j coerced hack into tbe
service td that nation to which they
belonged by birth.
And yet each bus been the eounm
of the church toward her children,
that they have been compelled to
regard theuweivee as the enemies of
the clittreh. They arc taught that
he that ia not for Christ is against
him, and they being \ irtnnllv ex
cluded from tbe Saviour's fold, can
