dent than servants, you insure the receiving by the 

 conferring of benefits ; and it will certainly be found 

 that none of your pains and patience with a former 

 boy are lost by his departure; for the good that he 

 has gained holds out a reward ; your instructions, 

 through him, are conveyed to others ; and your house 

 becomes a place which the worthless will shun and 

 the well doing will covet. And thus, whilst your art 

 of training improves, you have in fact less to do with 

 it; your temper, tried by fewer mischiefs, will be 

 soothed by the sight of good order and willing ser- 

 vice ; and conscience, instead of being galled by the 

 thought of sending half yearly from the manse a pest 

 to society, will be gratified by the hope of making a 

 succession of youths more fit for the world, and more 

 likely to see the kingdom of heaven.
