NV • OCTOBER 24, 194 cuNToN NLws-REcoRD PAGE THREE "The Parasol of Long Ago" By "PEG" S'orne lyear s ago, at house cleaning time, the contents of a cupboard were put outside to air and be dueted. Among, these antiques, as one might call them,• there were four or five parasols, which had been used many years before. How odd ?seine of them aooked in the r solemn black covering with handles at least one third again as long as they aee now. Then there Were Others still with the long handles but 'with a black and, white covering. As one looked at them the thought conld not he repressed of the happi- ness of the oceasions en which .some of theni had been used. Between the period of years in , which the young ladies walked proud- ly drown the street -sheltered or shadowed y those relics of the past with their skirts brushing up the dust of the sidewalk, and today there is a vast difference. Many of those who lived in those days have passed on and we fear if they could rise from their graves and zee some of the things which are going on now their thoughts, would Re beyond ese, pression. r, We can say we were brought up in a :home where we were taught to do this and that. The home training' was very etrict indeed yet those who lived in the olden days tell us that they would not give up that training for anything which the world can offer today. At that time children respected their parents. Some do so now, but many many would no more think of obeying mother or father than they weak' of "flying to the moon." Even that concession may be put aside as it is predicted that some sort of moon transortation may be in the not too Ear distant future. It is indeed pitiful to hear some parents eay as they confide in you some of their problems. "I can do nothing with Jim, ihe disregards any advice I try to give him. The same applies to our daughter Jane." They are indeed heset broken. -Officials of our country tell parents they must endeavour to raise families and to help out they have made the "family allowance" a law. Without entering into politics in any way in some respects it is a helpful move that is if the money ie being used in the way it was intended but when Lathers mid mothers are seen lined up in front of liquor stores at thnee withichildren in carriages or toddling beside them one cannot help but feel that the expenditare of the Inthey needs to be more strictly supervised Oh, the awful tragedy of it all" There are rie a rule eight ribs in a paraeol and from time. to tune we will endeavor to send out a message oni each of these different parts which act as a support to the pre- pared cloth which keeps •the rain or the suss from the one carrying it. A parasol on be useful or it can be an ornament. Now, one seldom sees a person carrying a parasol to shield them from the hot rays of the summer sure in fact many people don a lain coat arid go out in e pelting rain disregarding the fact that they are likely to becoine wait- ing wet. In olden dole a person who did that would be thought ready for scene mental institution. Our young people -of today are a very eine class. It is true they do not weer`their skirts to ehe ground (ma less on special occasions) protected by what they used to call brush bind- ing; their attire for bathing and beach walking, for beauty contests, and in- deed for ordinary street wear; their cigarette smoking and drinking hab- its must •at times be deplored. Their lack of respect for their elders and the way they disregard the wishes of their parents and those in authority over them makes one feel sorey for them for they are the Msers. But does that apply to all young people? By all means no. There are as fine young people today as ever walked, but it is just that times are different. In conversation one day is minister was seeking of the scarcity of young people in his and other congregations and brought eet the fact that they seemed to kick the love of Christ in their hearts which would make. them want to be associated with Christ in His house. The person to whom he was speaking ventured the opinion that the fault lay with the parents who had not trained them properly in their young days. God ,has given the children to the parents. If they teach and train them to love God and to respect Him then they will show that same respect to their par- ents, hut if even in this age they 1,A,OXYv' DOMINION OF CANADA BONDS 43a% due November 1st 1956 HAVE BEEN CALLED FOR PAYMENT NOVEMBER lst 1946 These bonds should be presented for redemption with all coupons of later date attached.

SKATING FOR CHILDREN GODERICH—It was decided that when tenders for the eental of the skating rink are called for, the stipu- lation will be inserted that three afternoons a week be placed at the disposal of the children free of charge. anew them to go their own Way, they can look for nothing but dis- rewpect from them end furthermore, the parents will have to aceoant to God because they did not .fulfil their obligation to Him in ,regard to, the Iran which He bestowed on therm A true illustration may enlarge on this point. Recently; M many of the Sunday ISthools throughout our coun- tries, Rally Day has been observed. As it representative of one of the ?Sunday Schools, a faithful teacher, went shortly before the session to call on one of her scholare to make Mire he would be present at the Rally. The father answered the door and the following conversation took place: -Teaelier-e."I am Mrs. J--- from Y--,-- °Meech. I just ealled to be sure that Jim Was COMirig to Sunday School today." Father—"No, he is not going to- day:" Teacher—"I am Jim's teacher and as this is Rally Day we are anxious that every child -Who ecu possibly come should be present." rather—"Well, he can't go today." Teacher—"Could I see Jim." Father—"No, he is taking it bath. We are expecting company, so he won't be there." With that he intimated that the door was about to be closed, and downhearted the teacher had to go on her way. •Can we think that incident went unnoticed by the Lord. No, we have every reason to believe that God SSW and heard it all. We know the teach- er will be cornmeeded for her faith- fulnese, but we also realize to the full that that father will be held reeponsible for his action, as will hundreds of father's and mothers Who have in any way put a stumbling block in the way -of their children attending chureh or Sunday School. Cass have been a blessing but as far as keeping children ,awaty, from Sun- day Sehool is concerned they have been a curse. Many a man and woman today has no respect for church or Sunday School and have gone down to destruction beeause their payents have taken them Sunday visiting, when they were children, thus not only keeping their own families away from God's House, but oftimes the people whom they went to visit. Par- ents think that matter over very care- fully. If you have been accustomed to taking "everything to Gocl in prayer," follow out that custom, and if you have not accepted Him as your personal Saviour then right now "believe on Hint" and He will become part of your life. In connection with the picture by Holman Hunt "The Light of the World," Christ is represented as standing at the door et it cottage, a lantern in His hand, knocking upon the door for admittance. We are told that the painting is a result of a dreiim of the famous artist to Preach the gospel by 'nears of art. Some years ago when those who had the painting- in charge took it ceet of the frame to cleansn the canvas. it was diseovered that the artist had -written in one corner of the canvas where it could not be son, as lang as the irame was on, the words "Me non praclermitt as Dornine." Literally translated, the words are a prayer: "Do not pass by me, 0, Lord." What -a blessing it is for us to know that, if we offer the same p 'ayes Christ - will be our stay and 'nerigth. -10 --- 132 120 124 120 -4 toe .1 —4104 1000 .196 Eitt •-•1841..° ,eo tp '-"760 72.
