IcreamecTjJS I t :on'B.s>«ra| Creamed Comments on the Bunday School Lesson, Parente and Their Children. Proverbs 1:8,9: 6:20-23; 17-6; 19:18; 22.3; 23.2226 for Sunday, August 3. Since home is a sacred ItSTltutlon and the basis of happy social t elutions and a sound rovernment, It Is well that some of the proverb* be considered on the subject of Parents and Children. V.B. "My son, hear the instruetion of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother." Os all < Features born, a child is the most helpless; hence, the special need of parental care. But the child having a soul and a mind capable of high development there is need of a special Instruction that can best be given by parents. It will be a sorry thing for a child that will not hear. V. 9. “For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about the neck." Filial respect Is more oramental than crowns or diadems. A lovely charI acter in a child Is more beautiful than any physical adornment. V. 20. "My eon. keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother" In return for the toll, good teaching, love, and sacrifice, every child Is dutybound to follow parental Instructions. The child that rule* the home is due for a fall. V. 21. "Bind them contiually on thine heart and tie them about thy neck.” Parental instruction is to percolate Into the very motives a nd desire* of a child so that there will ' be a voluntary yielding to these I teachings. V 22. "When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou steepest, It shall keep thee; and when thou awakest. it shall talk with thee." When good teachings possess the mind and lodge in the subconscious mind, expressions of these good teachings will bound forth unconsciously. It kt just too bad when a child has to make an effort to be i good. , V 23. "TfSf the commandment b’ taifl A In a seminary, prominently displayed were these words: "Harmony of eound is music; harmony of line is sculpture or architecture; harmony of color la art; harmony of truth is poetry, harmony of life and goodness is fellowship with God and man" And Dr. E. Stanley Jones adds: "Harmony of the total life Is the Kingdom of God." o Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions Discussion Questions on the Sunday School Lesson, Parents and Their Children for Sunday, August 3. 1. Why are so many parents failures as good teachers in the home? 2. What interferes in making th* most of home privileges today?

a lamp: and the law I* light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life." Right teachings by parents make clear the step* a child need* to take. When guidance is not voluntarily followed then a good parent will be firm enough! to eay "no". But a parent needs to be careful that all reproof I* motivated by love for the child. Nothing Is more outrageous than a parent using brutal force on a helpless Innocent child. V. 6. "Children** children ar* drowns of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers." This proverb Implies that parents and children are good; otherwise, there would be llttip glory In the family life. The greatesa joy of parents is the doing well of their children and grandchildren. A common Inquiry is "How are the children doing?" Th* woe of It Is that too often the answer I* In material term* only. V.lB. thy son where there I* hope, and let not the Soul spare for crying." All good lives are disciplined. The time to begin is with the youth, for then there I* moat hope of a disciplined life. The worst haldt of a child Is that of getting what It wants by crying. V. 6. "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when tie is old he will not depart from it.” Habits started early In life determine character and conduct in later life. Good habits hold a man steady in right doing; bad habit* drag a man down. V. 22. "Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she i* old." Changing social customs make It hard often for children to be true to parental ideals; to respect parents calle for children to be true to the ideals given them. V. 23. “Buy the truth and sell It not; also wisdom and Instruction, and understanding." Truth that is vital must not be discontinued by pleasure or social appeals that have no moral value. V. 26. “My son. give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways." Here is an evangelistic appeal. Parents will have no need' of worry if the hearts of their children have been given to God. Hence every effort ought to be made to be sure of light relations •of each child with God. 3. How treat an obstreperous child? 4. How and when should punishment be administered? 5. What can children contribute to the welfare of the home? o Lesson Prayer treason prayer: Forgive us as parents for having failed to do better by our children when they were young. Bless what good teachings we may have given them. Ahove every thing else we pray that each one of them may give hi* heart to thee and that thou mayest dwell within as the source of their strength and salvation. — . ■ ■ ■■ p————Book Review Adventure in Jade, by James Lewis Kraft, I* the story of how the author searched until he found jade in Wyoming, California, and Alaska.

While thousands of missionaries are returning the one great handicap is Inflation and the financial chaos now prevailing in these countries.

The demand for Bibles is enormous and it can be only partially met with the limited supplies and Inadequate shipping facilities.
