Excerpt from The Servant's Friend; An Exemplary Tale: Designed to Enforce the Religious Instructions Given at Sunday and Other Charity Schools

The Author of the following little work assumes the title of the Servant's Friend, which she hopes will be allowed her by those for whose use it is designed, as she writes with a sincere desire of promoting their interest and happiness, by pointing out the proper application of that learning, which is bestowed upon them through the benevolence of their superiors.

By the institution of Sunday schools, Christian knowledge is liberally dispensed to the poor, and many children, who would otherwise have been left in the most deplorable ignorance, will now be brought up in an habitual discharge of religious duties. But a time will come when each must leave the societies in which they enjoy the advantage of good instruction, and go out into a world abounding with vice and impiety: where they will meet with many temptations, and be exposed to the ridicule of the impious and profane.

Domestic servants, in particular, are liable to be engaged in a variety of trying scenes; it is therefore necessary that they should prepare themselves beforehand to resist evil, and hold fast that which is good; instead of going to service, as too many do, with no other view but to their worldly profit and advantage. The connexion between masters and mistresses and servants is of a very endearing nature; and the happiness of each depends, in a great measure, on the proper discharge of their respective duties; the frequent neglect of which counteracts the wise designs of Providence in appointing different ranks, and fills the world with just complaints.
