Text Content: 12 How can I govern a child metaphysically? Doesn't the use of the rod teach him life in matter? The use of the rod is virtually a declaration to the 15 child's mind that sensation belongs to matter. Motives govern acts, and Mind governs man. If you make clear to the child's thought the right motives for action, and 18 cause him to love them, they will lead him aright: if you educate him to love God, good, and obey the Golden Rule, he will love and obey you without your having to 21 resort to corporeal punishment. "When from the lips of Truth one mighty breath Shall, like a whirlwind, scatter in its breeze 24 The whole dark pile of human mockeries; Then shall the reign of Mind commence on earth, And starting fresh, as from a second birth, 27 Man in the sunshine of the world's new spring, Shall walk transparent like some holy thing."
