The sermon at the baptism of Jonathan Norman Crossett
J. Alexander: “As the loving mother rejoices to be the fountain of nourishment to the babe which clings to her, so the Christian father delights to convey, even by reverent reading, ‘the sincere milk of the word’ (I Peter 2:2). He has found it good to his own soul; he rejoices in an appointed means of conveying it to his offspring. ... The example of a father is acknowledged to be all-important. The stream must not be expected to rise higher than the fountain. The Christian householder will feel himself constrained to say, ‘I am leading my family in solemn addresses to God’ what manner of man should I be! How wise, holy, and exemplary!? ... Establish the worship of God in any house, and you erect around it a new barrier against the breaking in of the world, the flesh, and the devil.”
