“Had I a voice, then, capable of reaching the remotest bounds of Christendom, I would lift it up in exhortation to parents and ministers, and say—Set your hearts on the promotion of EARLY PIETY in the children and youth committed to your care. Let it engage, with peculiar interest, your daily studies, and your daily prayers. Parents! if you love your children, be intent, and let them sec that you are earnestly intent, on their eternal welfare. Begin as early as possible, and never intermit your diligence.” — Samuel Miller, Dr. Miller on Early Piety (1838)
