If you are violent and intemperate in your demeanour, if your language is coarse and brutal, if your manner is overbearing and insolent, will not your children be infected by your example; and are you not crushing in the bud the truly estimable and Christian qualities of gentleness, forbearance, and charity?

It has been well said, that "Drunkenness expels reason, distempers the body, inflames the blood, impairs the memory, is a witch to the senses, a devil to the soul, a thief to the purse, a beggar's companion, a wife's woe, and children's sorrow; and that a drunkard is the picture of a beast, a self-murderer, one who drinks to the good health of others, and destroys his own, as well as the happiness of those whom he ought to protect, love, and cherish." You need not be guilty of this vice, or the other vices, in a gross degree, to influence your children by your example; and you must abstain from vice altogether, if you wish to train up your children to the proper fulfilment of their duties, so as to secure their welfare here, and their eternal happiness hereafter.
