Youth cannot be made as sedate and grave as old age, the child as sober as the sire.
While sinful amusements are condemned, as they should be, let parents, teachers, and
guardians of youth provide in their stead innocent pleasures, which will not taint or
corrupt the morals. Do not bind down the young to rigid rules and restraints that will
lead them to feel themselves oppressed, and to break over and to rush into paths of folly
and destruction. With a firm, kindly, considerate hand, hold the lines of government,
guiding and controlling their minds and purposes, yet so gently, so wisely, so lovingly,
that they will still know that you have their best good in view.-- Review and Herald, Vol.
61. No. 49. 1884 .
