Internationa] Sunday School Lesson for November 6th, 1938, GOLDEN TEXT: “Honor thy father and they mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," Exodus 2:12, Lesson Texdi: Edodus 20:12; Luke 2:46-52; John 19:26-27; Ephe- slang 6:1-4, If you are a keen observer and sensitive to the moods and trends of modern life, you are already cog- nizant of the fact that there is some- thing radically wrong with American home life. Contemporary American iife seems to contribute to the break- ing up of the old-fashioned home. | Parents have, for the most part, turned over to the public school the responsibility for the mental train- ing of their children and relinquish- ed to the Bunday School and Church the obligation to mould the char- acter of their children. This is unfortunate because the home and its influence cannot be replaced by any social agency lack- ing the same intimate association and close affection which should ex- ist within the family circle. Our national life would probably improve if we could increase the stability and unselfishness of our homes, which should be the controlling in- fluence and impeiling inspiration for right living and service in every life. involves a series of each individual child, requiring ap- longer, before the child ls adequately ——————— An and their mother. As a reward for such obedience, God promises that their “days may be long in the land { which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.” | “The word ‘honor’ involves rever- lence (Lev. 19:2); obedience (Col. 13:20); gratitude (I Tim. 5:4); the following of advice (Prov. 1:8); and, of course, the exclusion of all the feelings and actions opposie 0 these (Ex. 21:15-17; Deut. 27-16)" —F, W. Parmar. This “honor” will find expression in an acceptance of | parental authority and in a be- ‘coming deference to one's parems’ desires and wishes. ‘The children who ape rude, insolent and disre- ispectiul to their parents are not only guilty of breaking this com- ! mandment, but they show them- selves utterly lacking in moral and spiritual discernment. Although this Commandment seems to be concerned solely with the duty of the child toward hig par- ents, it by inference clearly teaches that parents have responsibilities toward their children. In order to {receive the honor of one’s children, {parents should be worthy of their children’s respect. A parent lacking in character and self-respect hag no right to expect that an intelligent ‘child shall honor him. Parents, to merit the respect of their children should give them the best care—phy- sical, mental and spiritual-that is i possible. They should have, in the home, the benefit of proper examples tof Christian living in order that they may have the chance to evalu- 'ate the advantages of proper choices. | The picture given us, in Luke 2: | temple talking with sorely to understand him, Jesus re- a | | !

Health and Beauty I Modern Etiquette o> “I WAS BLIND.” NO. 2, People who become blind late In life do not often learn the Braille system of reading, The govern- ment sends many of them “talking books.” These books are very much on the order of the phonograph. Many poems, stories and novels are recorded. “The American Founda- tion for the Blind through its various distributing agencies has made it possible for 17,000 blind people in our nation to have a talking book, which is exchanged when gead.” Harold Bleakley applied himself with great assiduity to obtaining an education, but somehow he hoped, prayed and believed that he would see again, some day. He could tell when it was light, and that wag very precious to him. One day he re- celved a letter from the specialist who cared for him at the time of the accident, inviting him to call at his office. The boy lost no time in ac- cepting the invitation. The doctor thought that he had good news for him. “Harold,” sald the physician, “for years I have been searching for a man who might possibly give you your sight. It requires a surgeon of the highest skill or you may lose what sight you have. I didn't know whether such a man existed. That is, T didn't know until I went to New York recently, Now I know he does and I think he can give you your sight.” Harold got the name and address of the surgeon and left the office, out of which he had gone yearg be- fore, filled with black despair, now buoyant with hope His father thoroughly investigated the stand. ing of the New York surgeon and found that he rated among the best in the world. In Pelxuary Harold was taken to see the great doctor who sald that he believed he could give him up to 00 per cent of his sight. The blind boy was 50 Impressed with the confident, quiet manner of the doctor, that he decided to place H i {himself in his hands. He could not [imagine what the world would be lke after eleven years of blindness. His family encouraged him in every way possible, so he went into the hospital determined to cooperate fully with the surgeon and nurses. He wondered how he oould be still on the table for six hours but hy- podermics were injected Into areas around and in the eye to keep him from feeling pain, An instrument wis inserted between the lids and the operation was quickly and skill- fully performed. The eye was band- aged and for days he had to remain in a darkened room. But his soul wasn't dark, the glad refrain, “I shall see again” kept running through his mind. He constantly prayed that God would bless the work that had been done for him and that his sight would be restored He relates that when the magic hands of the great surgeon were busy at their work, it seemed to" him as though God himself had touched him during the days that he had to live In the hospital with his eyes bandaged, his memory traveled back to the time when the cruel arrow blinded him. That day was burned into his soul. That day was one of agonized pain, darkness and despair For eleven years now he had seen bus differenc between darkness nothing the ii] the years since he was bilnd after the first winter of loneliness and misery, had been full of activity and interest. He enjoyed his life at the Pittsburgh school for the blind and was a regular fellow among his blind companions By and by the time came to re- move the bandage from his eye, It was several days before he could see the doctor's hand held before him, in & few days more he vould dis- dnguish his finges. But everything was dim and looked red.
