|| SUNDAY International Il SCHOOL LESSON-:-By HAROLD L. LUNDQVIST. D D. Dean ot The Moody Bible Inetltute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 6 HONORING Ol'R PARENTS LESSON TEXT—Exodus SO 12; Luke 2 46-52: John 19 26. 27; Ephesians 6:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT—Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee —Exodus 20.12. The splendid obedience of parents to their children has been pointed out as one of the remarkable developments of modern life. No, we have not made a mistake in writing or in typesetting. We mean just what we say—the obedience of parents to their children. In all too many homes God's order has been reversed and instead of honoring and obeying their parents, children (both young and old) have taken the place of “boss," and mother and father must obey if they want peace and rest. The need for our lesson of today is both great and acute. The future happiness of hundreds of thousands of children (Eph. 6:3) and the present welfare of thousands of neglected and boss-ridden parents will depend on the intelligence and faithfulness with which this lesson is taught in our churches, and the honesty of heart with which men and women study and receive its truth. I. The Command of God (Exod. 20:12). The first and most important consideration to come before us is—what is the mind and will of the Maker of us all regarding this matter of the relation between parents and children? His words are plain—we are to “honor” our fathers and our mothers. The word “honor” carries with it a great many things, but perhaps the three outstanding elements are respect, obedience, and affection. We should look up to them with high regard, obey them as long as they have the authority over us, and show true affection for them. 11. The Example of Jesus (Luke 2:46-52). The fact that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh only enhances the glory of His conduct. He who is divine presents an example of obedience and consideration both as boy and man which we do well to emulate. 1. As a boy (Luke 2:46-52). The boy Jesus, increasing “in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.” (v. 52) had come io His twelfth year and with His parents had gone up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. There moved in His heart the conviction that He must now be about His Father's business—an altogether proper and commendable purpose but one which resulted for the moment in separation from His parents. This was far more serious than a physical separation, for we read that they did not understand Him (v. 50). Tragic indeed are the consequences of our failure to understand our children. Notice, however, that Jesus did not withdraw Himself from their watch care, nor refuse to obey them even though they failed to understand Him. Equally tragic are the results of hasty and bitter separations brought about by the disobedience of children. 2. As a man (John 19:26, 27). The value of our lesson will be greatly reduced if we see only the responsibility of children while they are young. We are the children of our parents as long as we and they live. Being grown up and having a family of one’s own does not relieve i one of the precious responsibility of care for one's parents. Jesus was dying on the cross. His brethren apparently still regarded Him in un- I belief, and His mother now needed ' a son to care for her. Even in His dying agony Jesus remembers to I commit her to the care of His be- 1 loved disciple, John. One marvels at the carlessness and hardness of heart that w'ill permit men and j women who have time and money i for everything else and yet will neg- 1 lect their aged parents and even' shunt them off into a public institution for care. Notice the promise that accompanies the command of God (Exod. 20:12; Eph. 6:3). If that is the reward of those who do right, what do you think will be the punishment of those who disobey God? 111. The Admonition of Paul (Eph. 6:1-4). This matter of honoring and obeying parents "is right,” says Paut It is the Lord's way. Only if parents command their children to do wickedness would there be ground for disobedience to parents. Apart from such circumstances every parent has the right to expect the child's obedience. There is tremendously important truth on the other side of the picture. Parents are not to provoke their children to anger, to disrespect or disobedience. How much we need God’s grace at that point. It is so easy to «ay and do things that need lessly irritate our children. It is so convenient to nag at a careless child. Often we expect more oi them than their age will justify. We are apt to punish them in a spirit ol anger or revenge and thus to de stroy the value of discipline. May God help us, who are parents, tha: we may take to heart this part of our lesson. Our children are our most valuable possession.

Great Racial Thoughts Need Os Modem Youth Thinking Deep Into Abiding Truths of Life —Fifth Commandment Linked With Stability of Society — One Significance of Old Age Pensions.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Nimble-witted and alert today's young people certainly are; but may it not fairly be said that they neglect to think the great racial thoughts? Do they discuss the primitive truths that have always held the human race together? Youth is sophisticated and “up to date"— on things that will soon be out of date —but are they pondering the primary truths of nature and the importance of the family, and of the loyalty to parents and to their elders? Or, to put the matter concretely, has anyone ever heard a group of young persons considering the Fifth Commandment: its basic and binding character and its permanent and universal application? Rather, is not the sacred injunction. "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." looked upon as old-fashioned and outmoded? In certain circles, parents are alluded to as “my old man,” or “my old woman." rather than as “my father" and “my mother." Students of the social scene report a great slump in respect for parents. Why China Has Liven Long Where society is strong and wholesome, th ’re the family means most. China has lived longer than all other nations because its family foundations are strong. There respect for parents is almost a religion. To fail in filial piety is both a sin and a crime. Miss Tarbell quotes Bishop Foster as relating the punishment he witnessed in Foochow of a young man who had killed his father with a hoe, while working in a field. “The officers chained him to a post in the execution place, and hacked him to pieces. Then they executed the mother for having such a son, and the neighbors living next on either side, for having such a neighborhood. Next the officer, like a policeman, whose duty it was to keep order in that heat, was banished. The taotai, or governor, of the district was removed from office. Then they burned the house in which the man lived and dug up the ground to the depth ot two feet on which the building stood, and carted it into the river. They intended to wipe out that wickedness so it could not spread." As It Is in the South 1 was once talking with a Southern man about the South s intense interest in kin-folk, even to far ramifying degree. We cited the case of a certain wastrel who was, cared for to the end by the society from which he has been a prodigal. "There is something fine about it,” said my friend. “A man may return in rags and sickness, but his own folk never shut the door upon him. He belongs to them." Who can doubt that it is this strong family feeling which has been the foundation of the South’s strength in surviving and *»»»*»»** *The Sunday School Lesson for November 6 is: “The Fifth Commandment: Honoring Our Parents” — Exodus 20:12; Luke 2:46-52; John 19:26-27; Ephesians, 6:1-4. «»•♦»»»»«

i overcoming Its difficulties since • the Civil War? And the basis of , all family feeling is loyalty to and , respect for parents. While in the . veal period, many persons exult I in finding outside of their home circle friends who understand them . and are more congenial than rela- , tives. As the years pass, however, and a real understanding of life j develops, they learn that there are •' no friends who can be counted upon like kindred. The old home op- I ens its doors when all other doors are shut. There is hullabaloo in many parts of the United States and Canada nowadays over proposals to provide public pensions for all persons of fifty years or over. We seem to have abdicated overnight the age old belief that parents in i their age should be the care of 1 children. Family responsibility is throwii out of the window. For the Fifth Commandment we have substituted social legislation. Grandfathers and, grandmothers are to be ousted from the family circle. Such are the tragic lengths to which our modern individualism has gone. Gearing Life's Machinery Wrong | Life’s machinery is being geared to other centers than the home. City hospitality is expressed in restaurants, instead of around family dinner tables. Entertainment is found elsewhere than In the home. In many "modern" families there is seldom a common | meeting about the evening lamp, for reading, games and talk. Indeed, the lamp itself has been superseded by electricity. For our Canadian camp we have tried successfully in the neighboring towns to buy a Rochester lamp. Our guests all express delight at the restfull, happy times we have together before our big log fire, with no opportunity to go to movies or parties or other public entertainments. Parents bequeath a priceless heritage to their children in definitely establishing family usages which become traditions. When our two sons were growing it was onr custom to read to them on Sunday evenings, usually from Kipling or lan Maclaren, while they lay sprawled upon the leopard skin rug in front of the fireplace. To this day, when the sons are home for a Sunday, those six-foot men lie on the floor as of old, and Daddy reads to them. As I contemplate the unusual consideration which our children show to their parents, I am certain that it is partly due to the usages established in their childhood. The Dearest Name of All One can scarcely over-estimate the sensitiveness of children to impressions. It is natural for them to cast father into the role of hero and wise man. How often I have heard men say, “My father was the finest man that ever lived." I was deeply touched one time, when our more unvocal son, an undergraduate at Princeton, was showing me through the University library; and he pulled out a drawer cataloguing some of my books and magazine articles. He had looked them up earlier. Sons who are proud of their fathers are usually sons of whom the fathers are proud. As we roam over this alluring theme of the Divine Law to honor fathers and mothers, we pause to

Jeeus gave the world a sublime new conception of the Deity by teaching | us to address Him as "Our Fath- [ er.” All that earthly parenthood can mean, with an Infinite plus, is true of God.
