I answer, Bless him for what they were to you. Is it noth- ing, that for so long a time they have been with you ? that you have enjoyed, so many years, their society and affection ? Reckon up the manifes- tations to you, of their fond attachment. Compute the value of their sympathy and services. Mea- sure the amount of holy influence they have exerted upon your characters; the quickening light they have shed upon your understandings ; the genial warmth they have infused into your affections. — ...Were they children? Go back to their dawning life, and bring to mind the daily pleasures and satisfactions you derived from wit' nessing the artless exercise of their unfolding powers; from receiving the thrilling tokens of their unbought affection ; from being the highest object of their confidence and regard. Recall the time when God first gave them to your wait- ing arms, and the fathomless fountain of a parent's love leaped joyously at their unconscious bid- ding; when, by their angel-purity, they moved the heart to holier longings, and imparted heaven- ward impulse ; the time when your hfe's joy was in their presence ; when they were the light of your habitation, the bloom of your pathway.
