Excerpt from Jessie Grey or the Discipline of Life: A Canadian Tale I believe that it depends, in a very great degree, upon the lessons learned and ideas implanted in your childhood, to make you the strong, earnest men and women our country will need. First of all these lessons comes - trust in God. A man who does not love God may love his country; but the true patriot is always the true Christian. Make this your study, dear children, to know and follow Him who hath so loved the world. Trusting and serving Him, we need not fear to leave in your hands the care of our beloved country.
