THE YANCEY RECORD
WHO IS BOSS?
By Father Robert Yalenza
“Cream and sugar?” Betty
asked with a smile as she
poured a cup ol steaming
coffee. Mary, the next door
neighbor, smiled the refry.
“Just a little cream, thanks.”
The*e was a short silence as
both ladies cautiously took
the first sip (it was hot), and
groped for a subject of con
servation.
“Are your children going to
Bible School?” - Mary asked,
feeling certain she would get
a “yes’ answer. “Well, all of
them are going but Johnny
and Catherine.” How come
they aren’t going? “I really
don’t know. The othe~s seem
to enjoy it so, but Johnny and
Catherine say that they don’t
feel like going. And I do not
want to fo-ce them. To tell
you the truth, I am worried
about them. I want them to
go, but am afraid to make
them go. I have heard so
many say that It Js bad to
force religion on children.
Tel: me, what do you think
about it, Mary?”
“I had the same trouble,
Betty. My husband and I dis
cussed it and decided that
they were going whether they
liked to go or not. In fact,
the children are all in Bible
School right noW.” “But what
were your reasons, Mary?
Don’t you think that it is
wrong to force them?” “Frank
and I realize that we run that
risk, but decided they were
going anyway.” “Would you
mind telling me why?’ Ce~-
tainly not . . . there were sev
eral reasons that made us de
cide as we did. First of all,
and I suopose the most im
portant reason, was that we
feel obligated before God to
see to it that they learn
about Him and His law If He
said ‘Go and teach all na
tions. . . ’ He must have most
certainly meant that we
should teach our own child
ren. They need His truth and
the graces they will get at
Bible Schol. We feel that if
one of ou” children rejects
God’s truth, he will, have to
answer for It before God. . .
but If we neglect to teach
our child we will have to an
swer to God for our negli
gence." “That Is all well and
true, Mary, but to force them
to go. .. it just doesn’t seem
right." “I know what you
mean, Betty, but when you
think of it, we force them to
do many things that they
don’t feel like doing, because
we know that it is for their
own good. We demand that
they study, that they respect
other people’s property, ana
even at times, ws make them
take medicine. They must go
to school . . . the law demands
that, and it seems to me
that It Is more Important to
leam why God created them
than It is even to learn that
2 and 2 are 4. In fast, we
think that It Is because child
ren do not have to go, that
they feel religion Is uiilm
po.tant. It Is just a question
of who know* best . . . who is
the boss In the family?” “You
know, Ma-y, I never thought
of it quite like that. I am
going to speak to my husband
about it tonight.*’

to gain the whoje world and
suffer the loss of his soul?”
