become a perfect boy,-no one ever will be perfect this side the grave; but he tried to remember and to do right; and having the fear of God in his heart to guide him now, he was not likely to go much astray.

You see that parents love their children very much, even though the children may be disobedient, and may cause them much unhappiness. Do not you think, as Geoffry learnt to think, that it is worth your while to strive to remember to do as your father and mother desire you; and never to make the idle words, 'Oh, I forgot it!' an excuse, when your love to your parents and your duty to your God should oblige you to recollect?
