of their final dispersion, and their present

properly conducted, the right aim of fam

subdue the turbulent and refractory, even
in those obstinate cases where persuasions,
threats, and chastisement would be alike
unavailing. If such be the beneficial ef

christian parent, who loves his offspring,
can feel himself excusable in neglecting to
promote their welfare, by the use of an in

THOUGHTS ON FAMILY WOR
SHIP.
Mr Editor,
In a late paper, I had the pleasure of
offering to your readeis, through your
courtesy, some reflections on family wor
ship, designed to show that it is both a du
ty and a privilege, by considerations drawn
tiouitica of tho Jews, and berhaDs also of from scripture example and precept, and
their modern -customs and opinions, is ab- from the fitness ofthe thing itself Allow

Beside thesa considerations, a knowledge nected with the utility of the practice.
of tho efforts which have been made, in
various parts of the world, for the evan
gelization of the Jews, and of the success
with which theso efforts hare been crown
ed, is necessary to encourage the Christian
Church ia their exertions to spread the
Gospel throughout the world, andtoin
crealo their confident expectations ofthe
speedy approach of that happy period,
when the glory ofthe Lord shall bj reveal
ed, and all flesh shall see it together,
when the Jews shall be gathered into the
Gospel fold with the fulness of the Gen
tiles, and thev shall seek the Lord, and
Tiid their Ivinn, in the latter days. ....

It appears to me, that family worship,
if regularly and properly attended to, is
calculated to produce highly beneficial re
sults. Even aside from the blessings
which mav be anticipated in answer to
the petitions that are thus offered to God,

becoming the gospel of Christ, which in
dicates deep spirituality, deadn -ss to tin
world, and meetness for the inheritance of '
the glorified ? Who, is it supposed, will
cherish the deepest interest in the prosper
ity of the church, the salvation of sinners,
and the advancement of the precious cause
of Christ? or who, on the other hand,
will drive a bargain most craftily and skil
fully, approach nearest the verge of hon
esty and yet escape the imputation of fraud,
and evince by the general tenor -of their
conduct, that though they profess to have
an unfailing treasure in the heavens, they
are far more strongly attached to the evan
escent and corrupting possessions of earth ?
Even a child may mark the difference.
I will not say, that the observance of
family worship lies at the foundation of
all tne otner cnristian auues; dui l win
venture the assertion, that the professor
will find it extremely difficult to separate
other christian duties from this. He who,
by erecting a family altar, has given a
tacit pledge to every inmate of his house

bow in their presence, and call upon the
name of the Ijord, acting the part of an in
tercessor in their behalf, as well as a sup

to be cautious and circumspect in his de

his grace. The only qualification neces
