I)., UL, I)., In The United Presbyterian) Because parents and children live under the same roof It does not fol-j low that they live In the saute world.! Too often parents are so engrossed In business and Hoclety and their children In school or pluy, that they live in different worlds. Much class things of its own Inter t td has little care for the other. ' There is no sadder sight than the wide gulf which this indifference to each other's interest, digs between parents and children. j A happy home demands reciprocal J accommodation to each other's tastes; both must surrender something of J their desires, to the rights of thei other. The eveulng hour is a critical one. Probably the parents wish quietness, the opportunity to converse over their interests or Jo read, while the chll-j (lien, home from the restraints of the I school, want play, action, laughter.' | Alas, too often this type of home is I the separating #of the ways between parents and children. Too often this enforced quietness drives the children from the home to seek pleasure elsewhere. I Dissect the human body and you 1 find 450 muscles made for laughter.' ! The finding is significant. God intended them to be used. They are flexible and work easily in youth, but like other things, muscles stiffen with age. This makes laughter more dlffi! cult for adults. It Is very Important that children shall find the play element met in the home. Screw down the safety! valve and there will be an explosion. ' The writer knew a little girl overflow1 lng with life, who in the evening was chasing her pet dog through the I house. . She was laughing in wild glee and the dog was expressing its Joy by frequent barks. At length one of the older members exclaimed impatiently, "Marie, can't you be quiet for a single minute?" The child stopped for a moment, looked with wonder upon the older group, and exclaimed, "It can't be did." On the other hand parents and older members have their rights in the home, .and these should be respected. But love and the future of the children should bring a compromise. A little girl overflowing with life, said to her grandmother, "No other person ever entered my life as you have done. You take me places where children like to go, and laugh witty *pe. You Join me in my "make-believe' play. I would rather play with 1 you than with any other person in j the world." Then, with a mischiev' ous laugh, she said, "You must have reached your second childhood, for you know what children like." A father pointed with pride to a handsome young soldier embarking | for France, -and said," "That' la my j son." After a moment his eyes filled ' with tears and he added, "I do not know my sou, and I do not know how to get acquainted with him." A busy lawyer discovered that his boy was getting Into bad company and drift* ing away from his home. He recognized the necessity for quick action, and said to those in his office, "I am going away for two weeks. I will leave no address for I do not want to be called back.". Then he asked his boy to go with him on a flsMng trip. For two weeks they were alone, they did their own cooking and slept together In their little tent, The father gained 'the boy's confidence and they discussed many problems of young life, and also the vision of a larger future. They caught some fish, . but the father's great oateh was his ? boy. He hooked him so tightly that the boy forsook his evil companions far the comrk'defihj]> or his new nrpal.*rr The father In turn placed the boy above his business and had the Joy of seeing him grow into flue Christian manhood. i gr 1 '' Camden Theatre >ooo^oo^o^<>ooooooooeoe< THURSDAY and FRIDAY MAY 18?19 Warner Baxter?Lynn Bart Caesar Romero Henry Hull "THE RETURN OF THE CISCO KID" ^S^A^R^A^MAY^^O^ Humphrey Uogarl?Kay Francis 'KING OF THE UNDERWORLD" Added: Buck Rogers and Comedies SATURDAY, MAY 20 10:30 Show Charles Haggles? i Marjorle Ham beau "SUDDEN MONEY" MONDAY and TUESDAY MAY 22?23 America's Moat Thrilling Story!
