FIRST ADDRESS.

IT has ever been one of our grand aims, my dear children, when permitted to address you, to select as matter for consideration, such subjects as might tend in some degree to interest, as well as edify you.

We purpose, during as many times as we may be spared and the subject admits of it, entering upon an examination of scriptural character of children, as offered both in the Old and New Testament; -and by bringing out before you some interesting facts relative to their circumstances and experience, to build you up in the faith, or settle you upon a foundation, as the case may be, more durable than that of wood, hay, or stubble,-even that foundation
