The text is Psalm 92: 13-15. Three points: I. To illustrate the operation of early religious instruction towards the formation of subsequent religious character; II. To exhibit the foundation upon which we cherish this important expectation; and III. To urge, upon this ground, the claims of the Sunday-school enterprise, and of the American Sunday-school Union, upon the attention of my hearers.
