The Chairman ' s address to the children was peculiarl y striking and
felicitous ; he forcibly impressed upon them the necessity of neglecting no opportunity of supporting , by their conduct , the character wliich the institution had attained through the protection of royalty , and tbe distinguished members of society who were their patrons , governors , and guardians ; pointing out to them that by the inscrutable ways of Almighty God , an illustrious Female , scarcely older than many whom he then addressed , was called upon to sway the destinies of a great kingdom ;
that there was no better distinction than what arose from merit , and that all who heard him might rest assured , that the observance of good order was essential to success in life , and that modest and correct demeanour was the surest passport to the good opinion of the wealthy and the generous . He congratulated them upon the excellent arrangements of the matron , whose lengthened protection had been so fortunate to herself and the school , that scarcely any instances of indiscipline , and none of
serious misconduct , had ever occurred . A continuance in good conduct would ensure to the young female the promise of Scripture , that " Her ways are ways of pleasantness , and all her paths are peace . " The worth y Chairman continued his address for some time in a strain of fervid and impressive language , admirably adapted to ensure the attention of his young auditory , and exhorted them to watch the earliest yearnings of their hearts with great jealousy and care , looking to their maternal tutor
in all cases of doubt , and comforting themselves by a reliance upon the truths of the Holy Book , wherein it is written , "Eye hath not seen , nor ear heard , neither have entered into the heart of man , the things which God hath prepared for them that love him . "
