QUESTIONS FOR FATHERS
What sort of a father are you to
your boy?
Do you know if your standing
is good?
Do you ever take stock of your
self and check up
Your accounts with your boy as
you should?
Do you ever reflect on your con
duct with him?
Ace you all that a father should
be?
Do you send him away when you
are anxious to read?
Or let him elimh up on your
knee.
Have you time to bestow on the
boy when he comes ?
With his question — to tell him
the truth?
Or do you neglect him and leave
him alone
To work out the problems of
youth?
“What memories pleasant of you
will he l:tave ’
In the years that are certain
to come?
Will he look back on youth as a
season of joy,
Or an age that was woefully
glum?
Come, father, reflect! Does he
know you today,
And do you know him now as
you should?
Is gold so important to you that
you leave
It to chance that your boy will
be good?
Take stock of yourself and con
sider the lad;
Your time and your thought
are his due,
How would you answer your God,
should he ask,
‘What sort of a father are
yvou?”
