The only foundation for a useful edu cation in a republic, is to be laid in re ligion. Without this, there can be no virtue ; and without virtue there ran be no liberty ; and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. It is foreign to my purpose to hint at the arguments which establish the truth of the Christian revelation : my only business is to declare, that ail its doc trines and precepts are calculated to pro mote the happiness of society, and the saffty and well being of civil govern ment. A Christian, one would think, could not fail of being a republican. The history of the creation of man, and of the relation of our species to each other by birth, which is recorded in the old testament, is the best refutation that can be given to the divine rightof kings, and the strongest argument that can be used in favor of the original and natural equality of all mankind. A Christian, 1 say •'gain, can hardly fail of being a re publican ; for every precept of the gos pel inculcates those degrees of humility, self-denial, and brotherly kindness, which are directly opposed'to the prirle of monarchy and llie pageantry of a court. A clirislian cannot fail of being useful to the re])ublic ; for his religion teaches him, that no man lives to him self. And lastly, a Christian cannot fail of being wholly inofFensive ; for his re ligion teaches him in aH'thing'sto do to others what he would wish, in like cir cumstances, they should do to him. J am aware thal I dis.sent from one of those paradoxical opinions with which nindern times abound, that it is improp er to fill the minds of youth with religi ous prejudices of any kind, and that they sliould be lelt to elioose their own prin ciples, altnr they have arrived at an age in wiiicii they arc capable of judging fir themselves. Could we preserve Ihe mind in childhood and youth a perfect blank, this plan of education would have more to recommend it; but this we know to be impossible. I'lie human mind ninsas naturally into principle.'^, as it does after facts ; it submits with (liffi- culty to tho.se rcstraijits or partial dis coveries whir'll are imposed upon it in the infancy of reason ; hence the im patience of children to be informed up on ail s'lt'iecio tiiat relate to the invisi ble V—!d. jjuI 1 hf‘g leave to ask, why should we .nirsueadillerentphui of education witii respect to religion, from thiit which v.’o pursue in teaching the arts and sciences? Do we leave our youth to acrjuire sys tems of gfography, philosophy or poli tic’^, tlM they liave arrived at an age in which tliey are capable of judging for themselves ^ We Uu not. ' 1 claim iiu more then for religion, tiian for the oth er sciences ; and I add further, that if our youth arc (!ispo.sed, aflei they are of age, to think for themselves, a know ledge of one system will be the best means of conducting them in a free en quiry into other systems of religion ; just as an acfjuaintance with one system of philosophy is the best introduction ta the study of all the otlu r systems in-the world. When we still add to the above forci ble reflections, the well known fact, that those children who are brougiit up without religii'UN sentiment, reatlily be come extremely llci;ntious, and fall into every kind of dissi|)ation, the candid reader must grant that parents ought, by all means, to bring uj) their children in the fear of God. - FOR TIIK JOlinWAt. Mr. Binoha.m : li( lirvinij; you to hr in terested in whatever concerns the welfares of our little villajje, I have ventured to make the fullowing connnunicatiun for your paper, hoping- yon may jiuhlish it for the benefit of those concerned. It is :^ratifyinf' to observe the iticrease of use ful anti benevolent instiiulions in dilfer- cnt parts of our ^Mowinij country at the present day ; to see bil)ie, and tract, and mi.ssionary societies jointly supported by- all cJenominaiions of chrisiians. Hut there is another insiitution. u hit h has been of late years introduced ituo our stale, and to wliich it appears clue impor tance has never yel been attacheil ; £ mean the Sunday School, an insiiiution which rc(iuires little or no funds, and on ly the assiduous attention of a few persons to carry on its operaiions. ’I'he object of such a society, we all know, is to im part religious instruction toeliildren and youth, by devotinf*: a convenient time oti the sabliath-day to that purpose. 'I'he children aie also Jaughf in s ich institu tions, both by precept atid example, ic» form habits of sobriety, industry and f',ood order, as well as piety tow ards (iod. These things are important at any time I of life; but how much more efl'ictual, j when thus forcibly incuicated in early ! years, when the youthful mind, like melt- I rd wax, takes any impression given it.— j 1’hat Sunday schools have answered, yes, I far more than answered, the highest ex- I pectations of their most sanguine advo cates, may be known l)v an appeal to \ftrt.s. In the account of a revival in the I state ofNew-York, it is stated, that of ^ thirty-five persons who v»ere hopeful sharers in the work, twenty-seven be- ' longed to the sabbath-schooLs ; of one I hundred persons who united with achurchi !n the course of a single year, ninety- eight had enjoyed the blessings of sab- I bath S'I. >;d instruction. I It is said that of the missionarie.s who j have gotie from (Jreat-Hrium to the heathen, ninet'een-twcntieths bee,tine pi- ! ous at the sabbath schools; and that of j the orthodox ministers in I'.ngland, who are under foi ty years of ag", more than two-thirds became pious at 'he subbuth schools. Henderson and Patterson, who have done such wonders on the continent, in regard to the Bible' cause, it is said received their first religious impre*ision9 at sabbath schools. 'J’lie celebrated Dr. Morrison, missionary in the vast empire ofC’-hina, who ha.s recently translated the whole bible into Chinese, a language spo ken by the largest associated population Oh the globe, became pious at a sabbatU school ! ()! who can tell how many IJrainerd'-, and Jiuchanans, and Morri sons, and Martyns, and IFaniet Newells, and Isabella tiraham*', C»od is training in the snnday schools to become the blessed instruments of rtnovatinpr the woild. Now some of these great benefits have b'-en produced fi om the s.oallest begin nings; and without wisiiing to ( astthe least reflection on those who subscrib/* to and sujiport foreif^n missions, 1 cannot help thinking that our money would be much better appropriated bv sijp[)orlin5 Sunday schools and domestic missionaries in our own towns and villages. VVc iihould have at least one important ad vantage, v.e could see the application of our funds and the benefits resulting from th-m, with our own eyes, and before our own doors ; whereas funds to the sujiport of a foreign mission, after goinfj through a long list of pro[>er auth'^ri ie«, are per haps expended at last in the aboitive at tempt to make Christian converts of a few obstinate and deliuh'd IJrahmins, while we have multitude- of Hottentot?: at home, and Inviiai.s om our iVontiei , sulfering for la«.k of,r* li^Mous insiruction. Might we not use the lanj!;uage of our Saviour, and say, with propriety, “ These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other un done 1 have been led into these remarks, by being informed (,f tlie commencement of a Sunday school it. this place. You may easily concei\e my graiificaiion, when I called ou uac of the pti soui eu^a^-etl yi
