About This Book
A practical guide that treats the family as a moral and religious institution, explaining its nature in both natural and churchly spheres and defining parental duties, household worship, and the home's twin missions of temporal care and spiritual nurture. It reviews family religion, the relation between home and church, the Bible as a household guide, formation of character through education and discipline, and the responsibilities of stewardship and accountability. Practical topics include infancy, parental influence, matchmaking and criteria for choosing a companion, with exhortations and concrete counsel aimed at strengthening domestic piety and social responsibility.
