Homiletic Review Psalm 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 1. An arrow is small, but powerful. One slew Ahab. Latent capacities of a child. 2. An arrow must be sharpened. A child must-be educated, its faculties developed. Note its natural sharpness. 3. An arrow travels far. Who can measure the influence of a child? 4. Its power depends upon the strength and judgment with which it is sent. A lesson to parents. 5. It is firmly imbedded, is the twig is bent, so it will grow. 6. Let us not send into the world poisoned arrows. (Homiletic Review.)
