"Parents and Children," The Gospel Messenger vol. 15 no. 3 (Mar. 1893)
“The boy who loves and honors his parents will, as a rule, be more prosperous, and in all respects more happy and blessed than the bad son.” “Show me a boy,” says a recent writer, “who loves his mother, and I will show you one who will make a faithful friend, a noble lover and a tender husband.” It is said of George Washington that once when a boy, he was going to sea as a midshipman, and as he got into the boat he saw the tears of his mother, and he cried out, “Fetch back my trunk; I will not go and break my mother’s heart.” Farrar, a high English authority, says: “In a past generation, men would have been disgusted and shocked at the petulant, disrespectful demeanor now often shown to parents; I have heard the story repeated almost with admiration how once a worthless undergraduate told his father that he ‘really could not walk down the street with him unless he dressed more fashionable.’” “The new generation,” says a wise preacher, “is intensely mistaken in always thinking itself much wiser than the old.” |
