Fitt's Market 444 Court Street FATHERS AND . SONS LISTEN TO MINISTER Joys and Responsibilities of Fatherhood" EUiott't Subject1 FRIENDSHIP IS UltGED Youngsters Advised to Live Clean Lives Through Years I of Youth "The Joys and Responsibilities or Fatherhood" was the subject of a sermon by Rev. Carl H. Elliott at the First Presbyterian church Sun day morning. The day was "Go to Church" Sunday on the calendar of Father and Son week which was ob served throughout the nation and which was celebrated daily In Salem. Following are some excerpts from Mr. Elliott's sermon: , "It is natural for the normal man to look forward hopefully to the time when he will be a father.. Per haps he hopes usually that h will be the father of a son. 'This fact may be accounted for on the ancient but exploded theory of the superior ity of the male over the female, or he may be ambitious to- have his name and work continued after him. "At any rate when a boy Is born tbere is rejoicing In-the .home and congratulations flow in on every side. The new father goes to his business that morning feeling proud and glad, does his work in an ab stracted sort of way, thinking of what name he shall give his boy and what occupation be will prepare him for, and goes home early to see how much the little chap has grown since morning. . "Each step of his progress Is watched with wondering pride and when he Is old enough to sit in his father's lap and listen to the nursery Jingles, the man's heart sings with gladness. After a few years 'be is able to read to him Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer and as be hears the chuckle of his little son and feels the shake of his little amused body, he wonders If any1 other man was ever as happy as he. The stories of the little man who killed a big giant and of the two men'who stuck as friends through thick and thin and ot other great and good men of the, Old and New Testament are enjoyed together by father and son. These are glad and exceedingly Important years and afford the fa ther his great opportunity. The love anchorage must be made secure dur ing the first dozen years if it Is to bold during the years that follow. Oisls at Teen Ak yWhen the boy comes to his teens the father must adapt his love anew. He must .recognize the individuality of his son, must treat him as a young roan with rights and worth. The youth has an opinion of Ills own and ought to be given, a chance 'to express it. The wise father will not override pr bully his boy now. If his reasons are not weighty enough and his manner tender enough, h falls at this Juncture. , "Then, too. the father's life must point unambiguously In the direction of purity and goodness or his pre cepts are as worthless as wind. "The ideals of life that the father holds before the -mind of his boy ought to bednoble and heroic. The world need heroes not only in time of war but If the world is to be made safe for democracy it 4 needs men every yesr and every day in times of peace unselfishly to serve God and bis chlMren or earth. Not merely getting on gaining wealth or fame will do. Service must be the aim and ambition of our boys if our world Is to be won to brotherhood. Sons Also Hsive Duties. t "On the other hand there are duties for the ons to remember. One Is the probability that your fa ther is not so much a product of the stone age as you have thought. He mav not wear a coat with a belt on and yet not be a Hottentot. His shoes msy be broad because he has passed through , the plnched-feet epoch and bas learned that comfort Is more helpful to efficiency than a style that spells discomfort. , Gray hairs are not always a sign of wis dom but neither are thy Indicative of feeble-mlndedness. Iton't be too fast about throwing his suggestions out as obsolete. "You will do well, too: to clinch this fact, that there Is no person on earth, ejtcept your .mother, who Is one-thotiaandth part as Interested In yon snd your welfare and your bsp nlness as your own father Is. Fa thers are sentimental about their pmn regsrdless of how mstter of fart they mav be on 'other matters. If woiir father has keen successful he rejoices mainly because be !s equipped to push yon along to still larger success. If he has failed It humiliates him because he Is less able. to hlp his son as be had hoped tolo. Your father loves you -now lust as genuinely as he did when be had you on his knee plsylny 'trot, trot to noston, and a thousand times more than your friend or cbiyn does. Give him a rhance to counsel with vou as yon make your plans. Let him share jtour comradcfrljlp tan.l love. ' ' rienn lAt Advised. "Now, sons. Is the time to prepare for fatherhood. Many a man who is respectable and pious in middle life owel his wild oats In his youth and seemed to go scot free, but be la resnlng wbst he sowed In sons with enfeebled bodies or wills that are weak. People wonder why his sons went bad and It was because In his voung manhood he played the-fool. Prepare now to avoid that crime. Resolve now that God being your . 0 . .
