PARENTS,
Are You Guilty?
SHERIFF
Millions of lost souls will stand
in the judment day before the
Great White Throne and, hearing
their condemnation, will historically
scream, “I accuse my parents”.
There are thousands of parents
who have given their children
everything but God. They have pro
vided them with nourishing food,
warm clothing and liberal educat
ions but with no saviour. They
have showered them with gifts
and protected them from harm
but have not provided a family
altar.
They have read them Dick Tracy
and superman but not the Bible.
They have taken them to the mov
ies, but not to Sunday School. They
have cursed their children, but nev
er prayed. Thus thousands of chil
dren have lived to curse their par
ents for bringing them into the
world and raising them without
Christ.
One of America’s great moral
problems today is juvenile delin
quency. The majority of criminal
offenses are being committeed by
teen-agers. They have no revemc
for God and thus no respect for
authority. Public schools have in
stilled their anti-Bible philosophy of
“behaviorism” in their heads and
they are expressing themselves to
the utter consternation of educat
ors, statesman, clergymen and
police.
Juvenile delinquency is but the
outgrowth of adult deliquency. The
son will be no better than his
father, the daughter no better than
her mother. A Godless, Bible-less
drunken father will produce an
equally worthless son. A smoking,
beer-drinking, gadabout mother will
produce a loose-living and pleasure
loving daughter.
God Almighty will hold you par
ents accountable for sending your
children to hell. Judge Healy of the
Juvenile Court of Detroit, address
ing a young People’s Rally on
July 7, 1945, said: “Eighty percent
of the youngsters arrainged in my
court came from homes in which
there has been no religious train
ing”. Bible-less homes produce po
tential criminals.
One authority states that “One
child out of every eight born in
America is illegitiminate”. The
breakdown of moral among our
youth is the direct result of throw
ing the Bible out of America.. Boys
and girls who are already reaping
the disastrous results of their sin
ful orgies, are already crying. “I
accuse my parents; they never told
me about God, Christ, the Bible,
sin and sex.”
To be responsible for the demor
alization of a youngster is a crrime
of collossal proportions. If your
child goes to hell, it will be, to a
great extent, your fault: If you are
on your way to the lake of fire,
your child is following in your
footsteps.
Friend, you can lead your child
ren to heaven or hel. The sole
solution is for you to accept the
Lord Jesus Christ as your personal
Saviour. Then you must begin liv
ing for your Lord in your home by
immediately establishing a time
each day when you gather your
family together for prayer and the
reading of the Bible. Then by God’s
help endeavor to lead your children
to the Saviour who in turn will
keep them from the polutions of
this world. “For the wages of sin
is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord.” Rom. 6: 23. Many of
these thoughts were suggested by
David D. Allen.

ents and Teachers as guest speak
er. Mrs. Shows said she liked the
theme. lit was alive and active.
Good building is exciting whether
s> ehucr, a school, a life, or a na
tion. People like to be dedicated to
a mission, to express themselves.
The P. T. A. builds the lives of
all children and all children are
ours in P. T. A. We must provide
an envirement for the child to
grow up in because times are not
what they used to be. We must
adjust to the changing times and
equip the echild to live in a so
ciety of law and order. The P. T. A.
is a public agency-relations Agency
in each community, a bridge be
tween parents and teachers, and
the school and community. There
must be a bond between the princi
pal and P. T. A. President. We
parents brought these children in
to the world and our job is to
lead them to adulthood.

P. T. A. spoke on “Designs For
Progress”, He said - The Consti
tution of the State promises an
adequate education for all people.
Every child in Georgia is entitled
to an adequate education regardless
of any factor. The state is the
only recognized agency that can
tax wealth where it is and spend
it where it is needed. Next January
there will be a new general as
smbly. We must find out if the
men elected are for adequate edu
cation, teachers salaries, etc. We
must elect people to the assembly
that will do what the people want.
Mr. Jack Grantham spoke briefly
on Civil Defense. He said that we
must live with the idea of civil
defense. School children should

evacuation, not just one or two.
