Home and Church School Manual

A sacred trust

“Every child born into the home is a sacred trust. God says to the parents, ‘Take this child and bring it up for me, that it may be an honor to my name, and a channel through which my blessing shall flow to the world.’ ... Something more is called for than a partial, one-sided^* education.... The first lessons are of great importance. It is customary to send very young children to school.”—Special Testimonies on Education, 36, 37. PH140 21.2
