WAR FUND DRIVE
Some facts concerning some ot
the causes served by the Nation
al War Fund are:
More than 5,000,000 men and
women of our fighting forces
look to the USO each month foi
off-duty recreation, comforts and j
spiritual welfare.
Nearly 1,000 professional en
tertainers give nightly perform
ances under auspices of the USO
Camp Shows, Inc., for our ser
vice men at home and abroad to
keep them laughing.
Thousands of merchant sea
men wh o bring the convoys
through find needed rest and re
laxation in twenty-hve homes
and centers operated by th e
United Seaman’s Service in co
operation with the War Shipping
Administration in ports in two
hemispheres of the world.
More than (5, 0CR), 000 men are
in the “barbed wire legion,”
prisoners of war, who need more
than the established prison re- 1
gime if their spirit is to be main
tained for peacetime usefulness.
Scattered all over the world
are 30, UOU, UOU refugees fro m
Axis terrors, needing friendly
help in their efforts to re-estab-'
lish themselves.
Between 5,000,000 and 7,000,-
000 Chinese people are facing
starvation.
Of the Greek children born
since 1040, less than 1 in 20 is
alive today due to starvation con
ditions.
Approximately 40,000,000 Rus
sians have had to evacuate their
homes.
More than 2,000 child victims
of the war have been evacuated
to this country for care ano pro
tection, and hundreds of other?
await the miracle oi rescue.
One out of every five homes n
Britain have been rune 1 m
damaged by air raids and the
Axis now say that ours is ruth
less bombing.
In China 2,000,000 childm

HONORING OUR PARENTS
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:12; Luke 2:48-
31; Mark 7;6-13; John 19:25-27.
GOLDEN TEXT—Children, obey your
parents in the Lord; for this Is right.—
j Ephesians G:l.
Right relations between children
I and parents have much to do with
j the peace and prosperity of a com
j munity and a nation. Experience
has demonstrated that to be true,
but even more basic is the fact that
it is in accord with the promise of
God.
One of the bad breakdowns in
modern life is that of proper honor
I and obedience to parents by chil
dren. In all too many homes God’s
j order has been reversed and instead
i of honoring and obeying their par
ents, children (both young and old)
have taken the place of “boss,” and
mother and father must obey if they
want peace and rest.
The need for our lesson of today
is both great and acute. The future
happiness of hundreds of thousands
of children and the present welfare
of thousands of neglected and boss
ridden parents will depend on the
intelligence and faithfulness with
which this lesson is taught in our
churches, and the honesty of heart
with which we all receive its truth.
I. The Command and Promise
(Exod. 20:12).
We are told by Paul that this is
the “first commandment with prom
ise” (Eph. 6:1-3). The Lord was
not making a bargain with man, or
seeking to draw out obedience by a
I prize, but t*ere is obviously a great
reward in the observing of this com
j mandmont.
Then, too, as the children of God
(if we are such) through Jesus
Christ, the first and most important
i consideration to come before us is,
1 What is the mind and will of the
, Maker of us all regarding this mat
ter of the relation between parents
| and children? His words are plain—
| we are to “honor” our fathers and
our mothers.
The word “honor” carries with it
n great many things, but perhaps
the three outstanding elements are
respect, obedience, and affection.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the
Saviour and then the Example of
believers, presents a beautiful pat
tern of true obedience to this com
mandment.
I! Willing Obedience (Luke 2:48-
51John 1!):25-27).
The fact that Jesus was God mani
fest in the flesh only enhanced His
conduct. He who is divine presents
an example of obedience and con
sideration both as boy and man
i which wc do well to emulate.
1. As a Boy (Luke 2:48-51). The
hoy Jesus, increasing "in wisdom
and stature, and in favor with God
and man" (v. 52), had come to His
twelfth year and with His parents
had gone up to Jerusalem to cele
brate the Passover.
There moved in His heart the con
viction that He must now be about
His Father’s business—an altogeth
er proper and commendable pur
pose, but one which resulted for
the moment in separation from His
parents. This was far more serious
than a physical separation, for we
read that they did not understand
Him (v. 50).
Tragic indeed are the conse
quences of our failure to understand
our children. Notice, however, that
Jesus did not withdraw Himself from
their watchful care, nor refuse to
; obey them even though they failed to
understand Him. Equally tragic are
j the results of hasty and bitter sep
arations brought about by the dis
i obedience of children.
2. As a Man (John 19:25-27). The
j value of our lesson will be greatly
reduced if wc see only the responsi
bility of children while they are
young. We are the children of our
i | parents as long as we and they
, | live. |
j One marvels at the carelessness '
and hardness of heart that will per
: mit men and women who have time
and money for everything else, to
neglect their aged parents and even
{ shunt them off into a public institu
; tion for care.
111. Hypocritical Disobedience
(Mark 7:6-13).
Such an important commandment
naturally held a high place in the
thinking of the community. To vio
late it involved a measure of shame
which men sought to avoid. So the
Jews of Christ's day devised a
| scheme which made it possible for I
a man to appear to be very religious!
even as he deprived his parents of
the honor and help to which they I
were entitled by the law of God. j
The man who was so avaricious
that he did not wash to support his
aged and needy parents could en
tirely evade that God-given respon- :
sibility by declaring that his proper
ty was “Corban,” that is, dedicated
by a vow to God. Thereafter no
matter how great was the need of
his parents they could receive noth
ing.
Thus do men make “the word of
God of none effect” (v. 13) through
their traditions. The method differs
but the spirit persists even in our
day.
