A WORD TO FATHERS.
We have read a story of a little boy who, when he wanted
anew suit of clothes, begged his mother to ask his father if
he might have it. The mother suggested that the boy might
ask for himself.
“I would,” said the boy, “but I don’t feel well enough
acquainted with him.”
There is a sharp reproof to the father in the reply o< the
son. Many a father keeps his childien so at a distance from
him that they never feel confidentially and lovingly acquaint
ed with him. They feel he is sort of a monarch in the fam
ily. They feel no familiarity with him. They fear him and
refpect nim, and even love him some —for children cannot
help loving somebody about them, but they seldom get near
enough to him to feel intimate with him. They seldom go
to him with their little wants and trials. They approach him
thru the mother. They tell her everything. They have a
highway to her heart on which they go in and out with per
fect freedom. In this keeping-off plan fathers are to blame.
Children should not be held off. Let them come near.
jyPhe prevailing idea ot the time is to make everythihg as
pleasant as possible for the children. And the principle seems
almost unquestionable. It would seem a little short of bar
barous to be otherwise. But some good things are spoiled
by overdoing the attempt to make everything pleasant and
agieeable for the rising generation. In the home, in the school
and in the church our whole study may be to please the child
and make the way easy. But when the household pet passes
into the business world, the way is nt easy. Grim difficulties
confront it on every hand, and nothing but pluck, patience
and perseverance will overcome them. But the child that
hat always been entertained and helped along an easy way
is not likely to possess these important qualities. There is
no surer way of making anarchists than to pet and pamper
the rising generation until it must take care of itself.
There is an old proverb, home is home be it ever so home
ly,” but home should not be made any more homely than
necessity revuires. The family fireside should be associated
in the minds of the young people, not only with stern require
ments of duty, but witli a sense of pleasure. It is not enough
to drill our sons with severe discipline, in all the formalities
of rigid virtue. They should be taught not only how to keep
straight, but how to bend, since it is not in the power of na
ture to undergo a perpetual tension. Provision must be made
at home for relaxation as weil as work, for pleasure as well
as duty. If such provision is not made there, it will be as it
is often, sought elsewhere.
1
Husbands and wives give expression to every petty feeling
of irritation and bandy words back and forth till some mole
hill assumes the proportions of a mountain. A tendency to
nag goes unchecked among the children, and almost before
the prrents are aware there is a chronic condition of unpleas
antness in the home. Young marriod people, especially need
to learn control in this direction. Another disagreeable trait
to be guaided against is the habit, peculiar to some people,
of always being on the opposite side of a question. Call at
tention to the good points of a book, a person, a public move
ment, a work of art, or what not, and this individual is ever
ready to interpose ‘-Yes—b ,t.” Conversation in such a home
gives one the chills.
Haven’t you all heard men say in a boasting tone of voice,
“Why I havn’t had a vacation in ten years.” Let me tell you
right now that such insane adherence to work is nothing to
boast about. Half of the men that make such a boast are
loafing on the job constantly and for that reason they don’t
need to take any particular time for vacation; the other half
are on the verge of a vacation not to their liking and confin
ed to about six feet of earth. There is something wrong with
the organization of any business if its heads cannot take an
occasional vacation.
Grieve not that men know you not; grieve that you know
not men. —Confucius.
