The Invitation
Proverbs 4:1
Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.


I. LET OUR OWN CHILDREN RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS. This charity must begin at home.

II. LET ALL YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE PAINS TO GET KNOWLEDGE AND GRACE. They are in the learning stage.

III. LET ALL WHO WOULD RECEIVE INSTRUCTION COME WITH THE DISPOSITION OF CHILDREN. Let prejudices be laid aside. Let them be dutiful, tractable, and self-diffident.

( Matthew Henry.)
