T.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfieid sireei, on ine aoove meme, tue pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text Ex. 20:12, "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother." He said: The recognition by society and the individual of the authority of parentage is at the centre of all the theory of social government. The agreement of society that parents may and should control the youth of their offspring is the foundation upon which our system of social authority is reared. The individual recognition of the ruling right of parents is expressed in a larger sense in this Republic in the submission of the minority to the decree of the majority. The command speaks the truth when it enjoins honor to parents as the sure means unto long life. Small success would we enjoy did we not nay some heed to the mandates of our elders. Little power would the law of city, State or Nation exert over our lives were the fundamental ideas of obedience eliminated from family life. The individual and that Nation which has a poor sense of the need for obedience is sure to meet an early death. The man who won't learn from the past will not live long to instruct his descendants. The State within whose boundaries the recognition of the rights of the law has fallen into disrepute will soon totter, fall and be dashed to pieces. The text calls to our minds three things: First, that children should honor those who are over them by birth. Secondly, that parents should be worthy of honor from their children. Lastly, that, broadly speaking, the principle of obedience?that is to say, respect for law?must be manifested in all our civic life. "Honor thy father and thy mother," says the commandment. In urging the need for honor it implies that obedience, respect and" deference be yielded to those who are above us in birth. The man who doesn't honor a good father and mother is not much of a man. The first law of family life is that we should give honor to those who have given us life and that meed of love which we enjoy at their hands. The man who works lovingly and long for the welfare of his n children, the woman who strives with motherly affection to make her home the pleasant harbor cf her children, both are entitled to and should receive the honor of their children. j Honor implies obedience. The youth who obeys the wise mandates of a good parent can never fail or fall. The parents who speak out of the fund of a true experience can teach any youth the way to the happiest life, and their words should be law. Honor implies respect. It is net dignified to belittle the place and dignity of a good parent. The youth who essays to speak with dogmatic assurance upon the full range of human problems pronounces him,self a fool at the start. The disrespectful youth who disdains wise counsel and claims to know it all will ere long find out that his ancestors can tell him at least one or i two things of which he is ignorant. Honor implies deference. A youth who is to be the true being that ve all should be must learn first to yield primacy in all departments in life to ripe years full of wisdom and noble experience. The man who pushes his way into places where ret serve should, very properly, be j shown will sooner or later find that j cheek doesn't ' -aw checks, but rath- j er rebuffs. \ We must, in our youth, yield honor, respect, obedience and defer eiice to those who lead us worthily in the home. He who would lead must learn to obey. He who "would gain honor must grant honor. The man who wish the respect of other men must first of all be respectful,.! A little yielding of the point or place i to age does no man any harm. Def- j erence is delightful either in young or old. It isn't at all necessary for me to point to our youth the wrecks upon the shores of life who are monuments to dishonorable actions in the ' home. The gutters and the jails are ! all too full of men and women who j refused to honor, to obey, to respect j ?or to listen. On the other hand, the command ment forces en ethical duty on the ; parent. Many times men become ] criminals because of parental mis- j management and lack of wise, sound and pure leadership in the home. Honor be to whom honor is due. The man or the woman who demands honor from a child must be honorable?that is to say, worthy of honor. Parents must be respectable before they shall merit or gain their children's respect. Obedience is the due of that man who j doesn't contravene the moral law or the laws of common sense?and the I due of him alone. Age deserves def- \ erence not on the basis of years so j much as on the basis of wisdom. Parents are many times more responsible for the lack of honor that! children show them than are the I children themselves. Honor in many miMs begins and stops with obedience. Many parents seem to think j that the subjection of the individuality of a child to their whim and will is the sum and total of obedience. Obedience consists in becoming as much like themselves as possible? . some parents seem to think. Children cannot be held down in that matter. Freedom must be allowed for the exercise of individuality and personal preference and bent. Obedience must be given and required only when a moral principle is at stake or the best interests of a child make it necessary that parental authority be enforced. But the unrea-. sonable exercise of undue authority I which many people exhibit in their j tome life is pitiful-^-and the more; . v T -v- - v . : > so because the consequences are quite sure. The whole of honor is not bound up in obedience. Obedience should not stifle individuality. Children have rights to wise leadership and unceasing parental love. Many times they receive silly government and no love?and whom shall wo blame for the consequences? The wise parent will realize that as we grow older our ideas chan: : and our perceptive powers strengthen. Guidance for a boy of four will harHiv evor he the sort of advice the youth of fourteen will need. You may be the apotheosis of wisdom to your child of five end the finest parent ever to a child of six without the power of analytical Comparison and keen perception?and most of us if we are not too unwise in handling our children are?but beware when your youth of sixteen has seen the habits of better and wiser men than you. Then must you watch out. For if you do not grow with and adjust yourself to the changing point of view and the increased vision of your child you soon will find you are fast losing his respect. Give j a child wise guidance! Study not how to make him a replica, a reproduction of yourself; but to lead him to be a distinct personality, possessed of strong individuality, molding by his own actions his being into the stature of the Son of God! Some one has said: "Who is to blame for tbe piuaDie mite wnicu children give in return for a parents' flood of love?" I do not know; but of this I am sure: if parents would cease to feel that they own their children in common with their horses, their estates and their cattle; if they would not, as many do in varying degrees, treat their children as their property, the return of love would be far more adequate than it is." We know how true that is. And yet I fear that many of us 4do not know how to handle our own children. A good child asks not for more pocket money, or newer clothes, or a more sumptuous supply at the table?but for a richer love. It is useless to try to hold children with gifts. Children should be taught to yield honor through j parental love. A man who attempts ! to bind his children to him with material possessions must surely fail. But th& father and the mother?be they erer so unlearned and be they ever so poor?who give their wisest experience and richest love to the cultivation of the personalities of j their children will find that a bond I that neither time nor eternity can I sever holds their children to their sides. An-d if that won't?nothing else will. Love is the touchstone of life, the law and the measure of values. Love is the force that draws soul to soul. The home that is ruled by love will be the seat of honor. For it is the abode of everything A 1 1-1- ~.SX.+ VlTT mat is noiiorauie, i especinuic, r> ui w; of obedience and deference. But to carry the principle into its broadest application we must glance for a moment at the duty of honor and obedience to law, civil and moral. Here, as with the Individual, the law must be worthy of honor. The civil law to-day is not so highly respected as it should be. From all parts of our country we read of lynchings, riots and miniature civil wars all due to disrespect for law. And yet the laws are largely at fault ?and the enforcers of the law with them. When a murderer, guilty before men and God of heinous sin, may use the law to cheat the law, and prevent the execution of jus; ticfc; when one man may buy off the i law that sends another citizen to I jail; when those who are sworn to enforce the law neglect their duty; we cannot say that individuals are i entirely to blame for lack of deference to the law. The laws should be wise, sane, quick to act, equal m. meting justice to ail offenders. Tfclis, only can it retain the respect of the 1 governed. And we on our part are not to turn to "wild justice" whetf the laws are not to our taste, but rather to the ballot box, there to see to it that good laws and the right men are set up over us to rule. ?5Ut ail IIULlur lur law ia :iuuuu up with our early ideas and teachings, and in the home should be found the source of respect for law. Forgetfulness and Forgiveness. An old man lay on his dying bed. Beside him were three of his sons. The father had taken each of his boys by the hand, and had spoken his last words of loving advice and farewell. When he had finished, one of the boys leaned over the dying man and, with much emotion, asked forgiveness for any harsh words spoken in the past. With a look of unutterable love, the father replied: "Oh, my boy, I forgot it all long ago!" When the prodigal (you and I) returns and confesses his sin, he finds that his Father has forgotten it all long ago. While the confession is still on the penitent's lips, he is restored to sonship. . ' ... . . V?f, A Little at a Time. : *5r How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness! Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any." Good*is done by degrees.

Probably the most notable faked living picture ever produced was that which purported to give a representation of the actual scene inside Westminster Abbey at the King's Corona-1 tion. The production was the work of an inventive Frenchman, who had special scenery of the abbey painted and rejfroductions of the historical costumes made. Then a number of French actors were "made up" to represent the King, the aged Primate and other central figures?and remarkably lifelike they were. The mock coronation ceremony took place at a qmet nttie village in urn-1 tany, and the films were sent to London for reproduction in one of the ! leading houses of entertainment. The managers, however, made no attempt to impose on the public and openly confessed that the scene was a "fake." J ?London Chronicle. | Archie Is Blamed Instead of Lceb.
