The Youth’s Instructor
By Editor
ON another page we insert the first page of the YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR, for the purpose of bringing this little sheet to the notice of those who are not subscribers for it. We intend that it shall be of such a character as to meet the approbation of our friends who are parents, and greatly instruct and benefit their dear children. We design to give a Sabbath-school lesson for each week; and it will be readily seen that all who wish to subscribe for the INSTRUCTOR, should do so immediately, so that the lessons may be learned as they are published. If you wait a few weeks, the children will be several lessons behind, which would be discouraging to them. One copy is not sufficient for two or three children. Each child needs a copy, as much as school-children each need a book. If any have not the means to pay now, they should not wait one day on that account, but send for as many copies as they need, and pay when more convenient. And if any are unable to pay, we will cheerfully send it to them free of charge. Let all of the friends do what they can to circulate the INSTRUCTOR. We invite you, who are in the habit of writing, to furnish matter for the INSTRUCTOR. Many of you are, or have been school-teachers. And certainly, if you feel the perishing condition of the young, and your hearts are filled with love to God, and a love for their souls, you can teach them the path of holiness, and the way to heaven. Do not neglect your duty in this respect. We think the paper should be mostly original matter, yet selected matter from good books and other papers, of a sweet, touching character, would be very acceptable.—Those who can obtain such matter, will please forward it.
