X NOVEMBER 3, ?98T .|g| Miss Flo's Corner A Question Box for the Ladies By MISS FLO CHILDREN'S DISRESPECT? IT'S ORIGIN Dear Miss Flo: I am the father of two children? sixteen and eighteen years of age. Neither one of them has the slightest oit of respect or affection for me. Yet I have done everything within icy power to make them happy and tc give them advantages Which I never had. They seem not to appreciate in the least anything I do for them and are always asking- for something more. Who in your opinion is responsible for this state of affairs?the father, the mother, or the children themselves? I personally believe that in this instance their mother is to blame. At least, she has done nothing to promote consideration and love, and in every instance has aligned herself with the ? children against me.?W. J. ^ It is the natural and normal thing for children to love their parents, to admire them, and to consider them their best friends?and when they do not. it is usually r'no fault of the par-1 ents. In rare cases only is it the fault of the children. It is possible that in this case it has been the mother's fault?for too' often women fail in the important I duty of teaching the children to love | their father. Rather, perhaps through i .carelessness and a lack of thought.! tliey are apt to kill the natural af-l fection which is there, for the atii- i tude of children toward their father j is almost entirely determined by j their mother, whether they look upon him as a superior being to be adored j and worshiped or merely as a cash! register to be used when they want j money. There are women who teach their | children to hate Vheir fatht r by making them fear him. When the children are bad they are threatened with what father will do when hegets home. Some women teach their chi'dron to regard their fathers j simply as money-making machines i VtJUat exist .o'.cly fer lh own use. and benefit. What the children want j they must have at any cost to father, j and mother will nag him until theyj get it. The children, seeing that j mother has no consideration for father grow up having none. Still J other women teach their children to j disrespect their fathers by alv-avs criticizing them for being poor business men. for lacking in enterprise, for being too easy?fo: being r.ight'empered and hard to get along with | ?for this and that weakness, until j the child's mind is embittered with] the idea that their father is inferior. to other men?amounts to nothing? and with silly opinions that, need not he respected. And this is unjust and unfair?for fatherhood calls for jest as many I sacrifices a:-, motherhood does. And j the only way in which these can be. rewarded is with affection and grati-j tilde, and if h. is denied these he| is cheated. , Or. ii . oil har.

The idea that children must love W- ant. respect their parents Became it * is their duty to do so will not work, and you . must deliberately try to; make yourself attractive to your] children, and make much effort; to ingratiate yourself with them as you would with a stranger. \ou must! try to impress your children with! your ability, your wisdom, your up-j to-dntenc-ss as you would any; man. or: Woman with whom voii are frying I to do business. And you must begin making thel effort, while youur child is still in the cradle?then it will bo natural; for the child to love you and respect j you as long as you deserve it?and j believe me?once, you have eonviuc-j ed your children that you are worthy! of their esteem it will take an awful j lot. to make them change their j opinion. When a child does not love its j father it is a cruel thing to both I child and father, for it rcbs them ofj so much joy in each other that they' miss. SI WOULD RE-STOCK CAROLINA STREAMS WITH LARGER FISH! j Raleigh, Oct. 30.?Municipalities.! sportsmen's organizations and indi... viduals should establish fish rearing >Syponds or nurseries over North Carolina for the purpose of raising baby fish from the hatcheries through the first year in order to insure the {greatest degree of success in stocking the .streams, according to G. C. Leach, chief of the division of fish culture of the United States bureau of fisheries, who visited Raleigh today to confer with officials of the department of conservation and development. Realizing the greater efficiency of stocking streams with larger game fish, Mr. Leach declared that the United States bureau of fisheries is starting a movement for nurseries to raise the fingerlings to a larger size. He has just returned from Valdosta. Ga., where the bu rea.l will establish a rearing pond of more than iiOO acres as the first in its system. He (at the ait exhibit): Ah, Joan d'Arc. She (also there): Join it yourself. ^ I'm a Kappa. i~" i SundaySchool ' Lesson' j (By ?j:v. p. g. d.d Mootfy Bibla ln?lkuto of CSiiea*?.) i C?. I5?JI.

PRIMARY TOPIC?Treating Everybody Right. JUNIOR TOPIC?Tho Kind of Man God Hears. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?A Squaring for God Against ths Crowd. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?The Conditions of Divine Approval. K. Israel's Desolation Predicted ( v. 1-3). Amos lamented over the doom which was to overtake the nation. ' tsruel is called a virgin because she !- had never been subdued by any forI eign nation (see Isa. 33:12). Her fall | ing to rise no more sets forth the uti ter desolation and helplessness to I which the Assyrians subjected the nnI tlon. From this captivity Israel never returned. Those who come back from the Babylonian captivity were largely from Egypt. M. The Call to Return to God. God tlirough the prophet says, "seek ye me and ye shall live." The implication is that while the divine judgments are not executed, au opportunity is offered for them to turn to God. In their turning to God they were to renounce: 1. Idolatry (vv. 5. 6). They were to turn away from the [ laces of idolatry?Bethel, Gil gal and Beersheba. God's judgment was to strike these places. If they would not come to HLinfor life Re would he their destroyer. ' Our Cod is a consuming fire." The ooiy one >vho can give life to those who seek Uim is the one who shall destroy. 2. Cease to pervert judgment (v. 7). "Tu'ni judgment to wormwood" fm plies the bitterness of the perversion of justice to the injured. 3. ' iso to dethrone righteousness. "t \'ng oit righteousness" is thought to mean that unrighteousness w is WimI to take its place. In this third c: donation the Lord's name is given with the following statement of some lias works:1. "Mrtketh the seven stars and ? Orion2. "Turneth the shadow of death into morning;" 3. "Maket.h the day dark with uight;" 4. "Calleth for the waters of the sea and poureth lhem out upen the earth/' hotli lo rain apd deluge; 5. "Strengthened the spoil against the stroug." j III. The Sins Committed by the j Wicked Nation (vv. 10 i:'). t. They hated the judge who con- j demned their wicked practices (v. 10). j 2. They abhorred him that spoke uprightly (v. 10). This Tnost Likeiv referred t?? tnS ? - " j prophets themselves who told tliem of , t! oir sins and urged uprightness of life. :? They trampled upon the poor (v. 11). The rich built magiiiQeezit houses i out ef the proceeds extorted from the | poor. 4. They afllicted the jnsr. (v. 12). ,Tills they did by taking a bribe, ! 5. Tliey turned aside the poor In I the gate (v. 12). Because they had uo money the j poor were turned aside. It was most difficult for the poor to ! ornt lliciluua Tl?a rlimv. Suit ilie prudent would best keep si- I lence. IV. The Conduct of the Righteous ' <vv. 14. 15). No condition in the world, religious. | .social or political can become so riiffi- j cult that the righteous are shut off i irom help. The righteous can: 1. Seek God (v. 14). Those who seek good shall have with them the Lord God of Hosts. 2. Hate the evil (v. 15). Evil must be hated. The sin cues tion must he settled before God can bestow His blessings. 3. Establish judgment lu the gate It was the custom la thai day foi the courts of justice to sit in the gate ot the city. The prophet urges upon them the responsibility to place hou nrable men In charge of public affairs V. The Judgment to Fall (vv. 1G-20). There is coming a day of retribu ilou. Justice and right shall be vio dicated. This will he realized In the day cC the Lord {H Tbcss. 1:7-10: James 5:7). All wrong shall be _ righted at that time. May we earnest 'y pray, "thy kingdom come." |j) " VI.
