JESUS AND KOME - RELATIONSHIPS LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:12: Mark :9-13; Luke 2:51, 52; Ephesians 6:1-4. MEMORY SELECTION Honor thy ather and thy mother: that thy days nay be long upon the land which the ,ord thy God giveth thee. Exodus 20:12. Home that place so dear to the leart of each one of us is even nore precious in the sight of God. le is concerned about our homes ind those who live in them. Right relationship between children and parents have much to do vith the peace and prosperity of a :ommunity and a nation. Experimce has demonstrated that to be rue, but "sven more basic is the act that it is in accord with the romise of God. One of the sad breakdowns in nodern life is that of proper honor tnd obedience to parents' by chiliren. In all. too many homes God's irder has been reversed and initead of honoring and obeying their a rents, children (both young and ld) have taken toe place of "boss," ind mother and father must obey f they want peace and rest. The problem of juvenile delinjuency, or perhaps we should say nore correctly, parental delinquefi;y, is right on, our doorsteps now. "hat means that the need for our esson is both great and acute. The future happiness of hundreds of ;housands of children and the pressnt welfare of thousands of neglect;d and boss-ridden parents will depend on the intelligence and faithfulness with which this lesson is taught in our churches, and the honesty of ieart with-which we alL receive its truth. I. ' The Responsibility Stated (Exod. 20:12). "Honor thy father and thy mother" how good, and substantial, and right those words sound. ' We are told by Paul that this is the "first commandment with promise" (Eph. 6:1-3). The Lord was not making a bargain with man, or j seeking to draw out obedience by a i prize, but there is obviously a great reward in the observing of this c6mmandment. Then too as the children of God (if we are such) through - Jesus Christ, the first and most important onsideration to come "before us' k I What is the mind and will of tt VTaker of us all regarding this m er of the relationship between paw ;nts and children? His words aw )lain: we are to "honor" our f hers and our mothers. The word "honor" carries with i great many things, but pw laps the three outstanding element are respect, obedience and affection. But men do not wish to follow God's direction, so we see next II. The 1 Responsibility Evaded (Mark 7:9-13). Such an important commandment naturally held a high place in the thinking of the community. To violate it involved a measure of shame which men sought to avoid. So the Jews of Christ's day devised a scheme which made it possible for a man to appear to be very religious even as he deprived his parents of the honor and help to which they were entitled by the law of God. . The man who did not wish to support' his aged and needy parents could entirely evade that God-given responsibility by declaring that his property was "Corban"; that is, dedicated by a vow to God. Thereafter ho matter how great was the need of his parents they could receive nothing, and yet he could keep It and use it for himself. Thus do men make "the word of God of none effect" (v. 13) through their traditions. The method differs but the spirit persists even in our day. Jesus made short work of such trickery and evasion. He declared their man-made creeds and traditions to be simply a means of mak ing the command of God of none effect. Once more he condemns that formal religious observance which serves as a cloak, for sin and selfishness. ! ' III. ' The Responsibility Fulfilled Luke 2:51-52; Eph. 6:1-4). The manner in which children should .be obedient to their parents and honor them in the home is beautifully exemplified in the life of our Lord, living as a boy in Nazareth. In the home the growing youth finds the best place for normal, wellrounded development (v. 52). There is no, substitute for the home. ' " : Th6 words of the Holy Spirit through Paul in Ephesians 1 6': 1-4 stress the same truth and enlarge upon it This matter of honoring and obeying parents "is right," says Paul.' It is the Lord's -way, but it is also that which commends itself to every right-thinking person. 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. May God help us who are parents

that we may take to heart this cart a. m

of our lesson. Our children are ou mcrt yeluabla fcjssssjon.

A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS A little talk with Jesus, How it smooths the rugged road; How" it seems' to help me onward, When I faint beneath my load. When my heart is crushed with sorrow, And mine eyes with tears are dim, There's ndiight can yield me comfort Like a little talk with Him. I tell Him I am weary, . And I fain would be at rest, That I'm daily, hourly longing For a home upon His breast; And He answers me so sweetly, In tones of tend'rest love, "I am coming soon to take thee To my Father's home above." Ah, this is what I'm wanting, His lovely face to see; And I'm not afraid to say it, I know He's wanting me; He gave His life a ransom To make me all His own," ' "" And He can't, forget. His1 promise To me, Hi's purchased one. I cannot live without Him, Nor would I if I could; He is my daily portion, My medicine and my food, He's altogether lovely, None can with Him compare The chief among ten thousand, The fairest of the fair. 1 I know the way is dreary To yonder far-off clime, But a little talk with Jesus Will while away the time, And yet the more I know Him, And all His grace explore, It only sets me longing To know Him more and more. I often feel impatient And mourn his long delay, I never can be settled While He remains away; But we shall not long be parted, For I know He'll quickly' come, And we shall dwell together In that happy, happy home. So I'll wait a little longer. Till His appointed time, And glory in the knowledge That such a hope is mine. Then in my Father's dwelling. Where "many mansions" be, I'll sweetly talk with Jesus And He shall talk with me. ,

The days that we're living in are, us some would say, our days to make hay while the sun shines. And so it is but "the hay comes in different forms. The hay can be planted firm and take solid loot, growing into tall fruitful shoots to be sweet and mellow at harvest or it can be planted in the form of v;ld oats rising ta give forth ncthing but trouble, torment and sorrow. ' These ?.re "cur t!mes" in the days that are numbered as the hairs on. our heads by pur Lord and Master. Days when we are master over the manipulation of our deeds ... ,. . whereby we may produce labor fruits to be weighed in Heaven. ; ' 'Tis said that man moves either forward or backward, hecannot stand still. Th;s is so for the rock that stands in the path of the raging torrent must either move along with it cr be worn down by endless pressure of the stream. Idleness is a sure death for faith but the hand that labors diligently to do the wrk of the Lord is strong in faith, love and charity . . . AND ALL THESE SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU ... to the disciple in THESE OUR TIMES!
