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
