The following, 'on caring fol

1t was published in the Religious
Herald by request Dec: B, 1906,

this day when so many of the
young think the aged have out.
:. lived their usefulness:
"By some, aged parents are con.
sidered burden, of which they
would gladly rid themselves. We
often see these persons treat their
parents unkindly, apparently for
getting the debt of love and graft
tude which they owe to their faith.
er and mother. Ahl how ungrate-
full is the human hearth How apt
is it to become cold and hardened
toward those whom it once loved
with the tenderest, holiest affect
ionl Was it not your mother
who watched oyer you IN the
hours of infancy: Was it not she
who spent so many sleepless
nights by your side as you lay in
your little bed, suffering from dis
ease which she feared might take
the loved one from her sight7
And, when the danger was past,
knelt and offered a prayer of
thanksgiving to God for his great
kindness in sparing the life of her
darling? She has prayed for you
all through bygone years and she
prays for you still. It was she
who tnught you to say your simple
prayer each evening as you knelt
beside her knee. Oh, how you
loved her thenl Every childish
care and sorrow was poured into
her listening ear, and you ever
found in her a sympathizing friend
and counsellor.
"And your father! Do you not
remember when you used to stand
at the window and watch his COM
ing from the field, where he had
labored hard all day long that
you might not want? And, when
the evening meal is r,ver, then he
took you to his knee, told you
pretty stories, and called you his
precious child? And that when
you came to be of the proper-age,
he sent you to school that, you
might obtain an education and
prepare yourself to become wise
and useful, and be an honor to
yourself and to the world? Have
you forgotten all this? It cannot
be.
"Stop and think what you do
when you pronounce your father
and mother burdens. Consider
that the vigor of life is gone, that
they have become weak and de-
pendent. and that their poor old
hearts need cheering by kind
words and pleasant smiles. The
shadows of their lives are length
ening-their sun is about to set.
Then be careful that you cause no
cloud to settle and obscure the
glory of that sunset.
''Your fathers growing old,
His sight is very dim;
He leans on his faithful staff,
For he's weak in every limb.
His eyes are we'll nigh-told,
His earthly hopes are fled,
He soon will slumber cold
Among the silent dead.
"Your mothers old, weak,
Her locks are thin and gray;
Her aged form is bent,
She will soon pass away.
The one who loves you ever,
You shall never see no more,
Until you cross the river,
And stand on the other shore.
''Be kind to the old folks, then,
| They've done enough for you;
They've braved the storms of life,
With spirits strong and true:
