Art/Literary - Religion / 19th century text
English term or phrase: literary pursuits
Many of the most eminent statesmen are thus afflicted and dishonored. And the affliction must be aggravated by the consciousness that they are reaping as they have sown! I would not willingly inflict a pang upon the heart of any parent who reads these pages, but I cannot refrain from raising a warning voice, in a view of the destruction which has gone forth, and is still going forth, from the cause we are now contemplating. The temptation is very great, for men who are engaged in ***literary pursuits***, and overwhelmed with public cares, to neglect their domestic duties. But how ruinous is this to usefulness and happiness!
