Parents and Children.

There are parents who manifest their love for children by gratifying every wish and abjuring all authority. They are surprised in time that their children neither heed nor respect them. The fault is their own. The very fact that they exercise no controlling influence led to a feeling of contempt. There was no authority to respect, and no qualities that especially commanded confidence. A firm kind heart is felt and appreciated by children. They are keen readers of human nature and know when they are firmly or weakly governed. Such commands as are given should be so manifestly just as to have the approval of their judgments. They know when they are wrongly punished and understand when harsh rebukes are the mere outgrowth of the parent’s irritation and not of the child’s wrong. Confidence and love can be inspired by sympathetic firmness better than by mere indulgence. A father said once to his son, who deserved punishment: “My son if it will better impress you with the wrong you have done, I will expose myself to the punishment that belongs to you.” The lad felt the rebuke and beg?ed to be punished and reformed.— 'hiladelphia Call.
