Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commandment With Promise
A party of young people having been permitted to spend the day With me as a sort of holiday, I thought it best to leave them to amuse themselves, whilst, taking a book, I sat in the same room, to be ready either to promote their happiness, should they require any help, or to check any purposes which might be mischievous.
I took a chair near the window, and drawing a little table before me on which to rest my book, endeavoured to abstract my mind from their, conversation. They passed rapidly from one subject to another, each con tributing their share by relating the things they had ci ther learnt or seen, and being soon absorbed in the study of my own book, I had become insensible to their engagements. A sudden pause in the sound of voices had the effect of recalling my attention to them, when I observed the eldest girl exhibiting to the admiring eyes of her companions a miniature picture, which was in a red morocco case.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uses the account of a youthful garden party to reflect on the nature of filial love and duty to parents. Drawing insights from a passage in the fifth commandment and corroborating revelations from the gospel, the author laments that the gracious disposition of love toward parents is seldom shown as springing from true principle and demonstrates how the lack of it has damaged society. Guided by a desire to restore order and method to family life, the author laments the lack of lial love and duty that is so obvious in the society of mankind. Written to help parents and children alike, the book presents practical methods to cultivate a deeper expression of devoted attachment from both parties, with the ultimate goal of securing the promise of a long and happy life in the land that the Lord gives.
