Butler, Ga.
The Decalogue was given from
Sinai. The scene in the boyhood of
Jesus took place in the temple at
Jerusalem.
Many people who have passed the
age of childhood and many with no
fathers and mothers now to honor
should probably have the emphasis
p'aced upon their conduct before
their children so as to deserve the
highest love and respect of their own
children.
The Command to Honor Our
Fathers and Mothers
The first four commandments have
exclusively to do with our relation
ship to God. The last six which have
exclusively to do with human rela
tionship. The fifth is a connecting
link between the two groups. In the
fifth which deals with human rela
tionships the name of God is not
mentioned.
What Honoring Our Parents Means
The honoring of our parents ac
cording to this commandment in
cludes respect, love, ob e dience and
affection. We love our parents, first
because they are flesh of our fl e sh
and certainly toeing of the same flesh
should love each other, and th e love
is bound by the strongest of earthly
ties, to the extent that only death
can separate. In vi e w of tills close
relationship and the truth that our ‘
parents during our childhood are su
perior to us we should show the re
spect that one is due a sup e rior,
And during the childhood this re
spect should become so inculcated in
our very being that it would last
throughout the life of our parents
even though they reach the allotted
pan of three score and ten and ev e ii
beyond. In childhood we are depend
ent upon our parents for guidance in
th e paths of right and safety, and if
it is to count for most we must he in
obedience to them. In return for all
that our parents have done for us
we should hold an abiding affection
for them. Th e re is not a more
beautiful sight in all this world than
to toehold a true affection between
sons and daughters and their par
ents even though th e sons and daugh
ters have reached in years the point
that their hair is silvered with the
passing of half or mor e of a life.
The Social Trend
The individuals are not the units
of our national life. What then is the
unit of our national life? It is the
family. In the strength and stability
of the individual famili e s of a nation
is the strength of the nation. Fami
lies where love and affection abound
are the bulwarks of our nation. In
order that we hav e a strong and vig
orous nation we must have laws and
these laws must be obeyed. The fam
ily to be a success must have rul e s
and these rules must be obeyed. Then
we might say that the family is a
nation in miniature. Each m e mber of
that family has its own individual
duties to perform nn the organizing
of the family. The head of the fami
ly as with the heads of nations must
establish laws and direct the affairs
of th e family. In bringing these
conditions about the fifth command
ment is a suitable and necessary rule
to go by. In a nation where love ‘be
tween the units abound w^ have
nation that is invincible against any
power that can be sent against it,
The Promise
There is a promise attached to th e
fufillling of this commandment. The
carrying out of this command result
in habits and character that will give
one length of years. Character is e n-
ctoled by obedience to father and
mother and will shine through to
eternity. Th e comer stone of this
great nation ofours is laid around its
firestones. The hearthstone is that
golden chain that unites a people into
a nation. This commandment th e n we
might say also not only applies to
sons and daughters but to nations.
The great nations of the past have
flourished or fell indirectly as they
obeyed or disob e yed this great com
mandment. We shudder as we point
to that arch demon in the flesh, S^ero,
in all his cruelty and his utter disre-
sp e ct for his own mother. He even
went so far as not to obey her but
had her put to death. His tragic end
was no more than he deserved and
the corruption that had perm e ated the
great Roman Emperor was such that
an alliwise Creator would not allow it
to stand as a great nation among the
governments of the earth.
To Whom Docs This Commandment
Apply?
This commandm.ent applies to us
so long as our father and mother
live. The commands holds good so
long as we can have earthly com
munication with father and mother.
Memory of a moth e r‘s prayer many
times kindles in the breast of a man
that love and reverence for that
honored mother that has lbe e ii an
incentive for him to Btrive for great
er things in life. What applies to
our earthly parents in regard to our
e arthly parents also applies to our
Heavenly Father for we are told by
the Apostle Paul in the first chapter
of Romans the consequence of turn
ing from th e worship of God to
idols.
In all the annals of history there
i3 not a more shameful disregard for
parents than that of Hum for his
father as r e corded in the ninth chap
ter of the book of Genesis. The curse
that was placed upon him is an ex
ample of not showing proper respect
for a parent. A shining exampl e of
affection of a son for a father is
Jonathan’s case as regarded his
father, Saul.
Jesus Honors His Parents
The only glimpse that we hav e of
the life of Jesus in the first 33 years
except the time when Jos e ph fled
with him and bis mother into Egypt
was when he was a lad twelve years
old when he w e nt with Joseph and
Mary up to Jerusalem for the Pass-
over, and on the return after having
pursued some distance on their jour-
n e y they found that the boy, Jesus,
was missing from their midst and
iniemdiately they retraced their sjtcpp
to Jerusalem in search of him, and
found him in the templ e talking with
the learned doctors. He was not ar
guing with them but eagerly answer
ing questions, but his answers to
them w e re of such importance that
they were astonished at his remark
able knowledge of God's word They
w e re led to perceive that they were
in the presence of more wisdom than
was possessed by any of thorn.
Hi/'mother asked him why he had
left them and h e immediately replied
“how is it that ye sought me? Know
ye not that I must toe in my Fath
ers house? And they understood not
the sayings which he spoke unto
th e m”. These were the first we have
recorded of Jesus. These very words
show, us that Jesius though only a
boy was conscious of his divine mis
sion. He here exhibited a lif e pur-
poe. He had learned to ‘bo engaged in
thing of sGod. In spite of all this h e
did not forget his mother and fath
er. This we know from these words,
and he went down with them and
came to Nazareth and he was sub
j e ct unto them, and his mother kept
all these sayings in her heart, and
Jesus abounded in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and
men.”
So in all the record we have of
Jesus’ e arly life he honored and
obeyed his parents. He was the ideal
boy. The record here would lead us
to beli e ve that his submission to his
parents was permanent.
In the life of Jesus we find that
as a boy he knew far more of the
inner and spiritual ,m e aning of the
word of God than his fathe r and
mother and communed with God
during his boyhood days he, always
obeyed the fifth commandment.
Power of the Christian Religion
The Christian r e ligion enters .into
every part of the human life.. When
one has the religion of teh Lord
Jesus Christ his whole being, gme-
nate its influence about them as a
halo of power from above. There is
nothing in the human life that is not
b e autified by religion. It goes into
the social, the industrial and even
into the commercial life. The power
of religion over these things is Self-
evident. We do not have to tell the
world of our religion, they will 1 know
it. Above all th e power of religion is
radiated from the parents and off
springs. A religious parent leads and
directs their offspring into paths of
righteousness. This godly 1 influence
acts a powerful magnet to the child,
causing them to honor > and obey
them for what they are.
So we see that the godly parent
make it eassier for th e child to love,
honor and obey thew. This will be
marked pu in their favor, in the
great book of life when it ,is open e d
on that great day that’s coming bye
and bye.
NEW DEPARTMENT AT
BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL
Ideal News
Butler High School is improving
more and more each year. There have
been now departments added all
along but this year one that has
neer been in the school before is be
ing developed. At one time this de
partment was known simply as
“cooking and sawing.” It was later
called the Department of Domestic
Science. Then a broader term wa-
used and it was known as the Home
Economics Department. More recent
ly it is being called the Department
of Home-making.
Only the clothing laboratory has
been developed so far. The food
laboratory and liring^dining room
combination are to be added a little
later when space and funds are
available.
The clothing laboratory was start
ed with only one old-fashioned, long
bobbin ewing machine. Some of the
boys brought it into the room one
day saying, “Here’s a machine Mr.
Folds sent. He suid Mr. Rustin •
thought this would be all you’d
need.” This was intended for a joke
on the Home Economics group but
the machine has proven to be a real
asset. Now the girls have, besides the
old machine, four new Singer ma
chines, three standard and one elec
tric. They have learned many of the
different parts of these machines and
something of their operations.
There are three large, roomy
clothing cabinets, all brand-new, in
the clothing department and it is
needless to say that as each new
piece of equipment comes in there is
a now thrill in every heart, and nn
eager awaiting to try it out.
Miss Eva B. Hooks, who is the in
structor, has three classes which last
two periods eucli. Since this is the
first year in the study of home-mak
ing all of the students are beginners.
Two of the classes are studying the
fundamentals in clothing construc
tion. They are now making their uni
forms to be worn in the food labora
tory. The senior group is studying
“Family Relationships.”
The girls are striving to make this
one of the best departments ever to
be in Butler school. All of the girls
in the department will leavn a great
deal wiiich will help them in their
future life and they are delighted
that the Board of Education has seen
fit to add this department to the
school.
