Synopsis
Excerpt from First Lessons in Christian Morals: For Canadian Families and Schools
The following little book of "First Lessons in Christian Morals," like the "First Lessons in Agriculture" is a gratuitous contribution, on the part of the Author, to an essential branch of education.
The selection and arrangement of topics, the mode of presenting them, together with many of the definitions, explanations, and illustrations, are my own; but in some instances I have appropriated, what appeared to me, the best thoughts and sometimes the best words of the best authors.
Instead of entering into any of the speculations with which many works on moral science commence, I have, at once, assumed the truth of Christianity and the authority of the Holy Scriptures, and have endeavoured to present the subjects in harmony with the views of all religious persuasions who receive the Bible as the rule of their faith and practice, and Jesus Christ as the only foundation of their hopes of eternal life.
The want I attempt to supply by this little book has been widely felt, and often expressed in connection with our system of public instruction.
In "First Lessons in Christian Morals," I need no apology for taking the Bible as the rule and standard; but under any circumstances, we could appeal to no other book with like advantage; for, with the late Rev. Henry Melville. and in his language, "we always recur with delight to the testimony of the Deist, who, after publicly labouring to disprove Christianity, and to bring Scripture into contempt as a forgery, was found instructing his child from the pages of the New Testament.
