caresses us and soothes and heals
the wounds and whatever trouble
there may be, disappears. When we
are through with our sniffles, mother
wipes away the tears, we jump down
and toddle away again to join our
playmates, as happy as ever. We
forget mother's love and kindness in
the happiness of our play, but moth
er has left upon that heart, that life,
impressions that will live on through
out eternity. We come to mother,
as we get older, in much the same
way. In our outbursts of anger a
gainst a playmate because he claims
one of our marbles or because our
friend's doll, in our imagination, has
said some rude things to our own
precious doll. We come breathing
out threatenings against our play
mate. What a wonderful opportu
nity for mother to take us and in her
patient and loving way, calmly teach
us a great lesson in self control that
may mean much to us in after life.
That mother has great and fearful
repptmsibilities too great for her to
bear them alone tht Sunday School
should and will help if we as parents
will co-operate.
We read and talk so much about
the responsibilities faithfulness and
duties of mother. Is there any reas
on the father should have less respon
sibilities? In some respects the re
sponsibility of the father is greater
than that of the mother especially
when there are boys in the home. No
matter how earnestly a mother may
try to teach and train her boys and
try to get them interested in Sunday
School and church, if the father is
worldly or even indifferent, it some
times seems like a hopeless task, for
the boy looks to the father as an
example of the ideal man. This is
often true when the father is not
worthy of such trust and confidence
on the part of the child. We be
moan the fact of so much indifference
and waywardness on the part of our
boys in our county. Why should
they be expected to be any other
way? I can tell you where the big
gest responsibility lies-on the should
ers of the indifferent fathers. Fath
ers, you are responsible for bring

know his Lord and Master : Ur win
he, from his pit of gloom and despair,
shrink from you as from a frightful
beast, with cursings too foul to be
uttered, because you set him the ex
ample of loafing on the street corn
ers or around the stores on Sunday
morning instead of attending Sunday
School?
Suppose you were invited by the
recording angel to write a sentence
or a few sentences expressing your
ideals of life to be read from the
Book of Life on that morning when
we shall all come face to face with
our Lord, would you not be extreme
ly careful to say just the right things?
That is exactly what is happening.
Your child is the tablet on which is
being inscribed for all time and eter
nity the influence from your life and
the inscriptions on that tablet will
be publicly read before you and the
great host on that great day.
We love our children dearly, but
in so many cases, we are so busy
looking after their temporal welfare,
we neglect to co-operate with the
children follow our example of in
difference until they become harden
ed in the world and there is no hope.
A .hnildinsr was on fire. In that
building was a mother and her child.
That mother loved her child above
pvervthine else in the world. She
loved it so much that she had spent
mnnVi wiAnov Catherine? around it
mnnv trinkets and playthings. When
tVie alarm was eiven, the mother
thought of all these lovely things that
meant so much to the happiness of
the child. Thinking that she had
time to save them, she hurriedly gath
ered them in her arms and rushed
out" to a place of- safety and then
rushed back after her child. But,
before she-reached the room in which
was her child, the flames had cut her
off. The child was losj:. In her an
guish of soul, she shrieked and fell
in a swoon and would have been lost
herself had not some one rushed to
her rescue. Is that an extreme illus
tration? I think not, All around
us there are hundreds of women and
men doing just this very thing. They
are so devoted to their children, so
wranDed un in their affections. They
spare nothing in reason to give them
what they need and gi'e them a good
time. Their one desire in life is
to make them happy, to dress them
properly, to see that they take their
rightful place in society. The world
ly fire is beginning to burn in that
building, the alarm is sounded time
and time again from the Sunday
School and church. At last we real
ize that the building is on fire, but
the trinkets and playthings must be
snvpd first and before we know it the
flames have cut us off from our chil
dren and we are left to spend our
old age in lives of remorse-and suf
fering. WTe as fathers are just as careless
and in most cases more so. We, too,
love our children dearly. We may
not express that love in such tender
terms as the mother. We may not
be as attentive to the many little
things to amuse the children but we
lnvp them. We not only love our
own children, but we love all chil
dren. If some one were to rush
through the street at this moment
crying that a child was overboard or
lost or kidnapped. I a moment this
building would be empty. We would
be rushing here and yonder trying
to find and save that child! Onlv a
few years ago, we had a vivid i!!'"
tration of this kind, when in the
quiet of the evening, suddenly the
word was flashed thraugh town that
r fhild had been kidnapped. In an
incredibly short time the streets
were thronged with peopl?, all in
a ru?h to help save the hoy. We as
fathers are quietly and in an un
concerned manner letting the kid
nappers of the world and the Devil
steal awav f.ur boys. rh! that we

his fears would be realized and that
they were making their plans of at
tack. Putting his head close to the
door and listening intently, he realiz
ed to his great delight that the fam
ily were having their evening devo
tions. Thev were reading from
Gods word. He immediately rolled
his hpd awav from the door and
raised the windows, retired and had
a good night's rest because there was
Christianity in that home.
Fathers and mothers, are we meet
ing the rsenonsibilities of parenthood
as we will some day hope we had?
Do we realize how time is fleeting
and how fast our children are grow
ing up and away from us? Ae we

short vears before we will face that
terrible moment that Mary and Jo
seph faced when her child of twelve
years met their anxious questioning
with that strange answer: ist ye
not that I must be about my Father s
business?" Oh! how we then want
our children to be active in the Sun
day School and church. Will they.
It depends upon how you are leading
them and training them in their ear
lier life. Folks, let's get under the
Sunday School problems of our
county and discharge our responsi
bilities as men and women in the
fear of God and for the sakes of our
children ond our neighbor's ch.l-
