The Parsons Children.


The Washington Herald is never
happier than when defending the under
dog and taking the part Of the down
trodden We rejoice to lift our voice in
defense of the weak we delight to pro-
claim the virtues of the maligned.
At weekly conference OF Presbyterian
ministers held In New York recently Mrs.
John s Allen. a parsons wife, read a
paper, from which the following is
quoted;
In passing lei US giye credit 20 the rastoress as
an expert In economies We wonder how Il Is that
50 many ministers sons. like r. II. Hartman and
Others. become milonares and captains q industry
Is g not because Of tho nhrcd giit q careful man
agement inherited from mothers who know how to
accomplish the seemingly impossible by stretching
Of small incomes to cover large outaysi'
We cannot admit unreservedly that
Mr.. Hartman is or has been all that a
minister's son should be. but we do seize
upon this opportunity TO decry the all
too prevalent habit Of putting all min
isters' sons in the Aad-boy catalogue.
OF course. the reputation or the aver
age pastors son is something quite
within his own keeping. and We believe
that he shows UP in the main very
worthny I'm the end. Nevertheless, he
starts out under n heavy handicap; there
Is no doubt about that He Is a sus-
picious character from the word go"
The fact that he is a preachers boy
stamps him az once as sort OF holy
terror. Try as he willard we believe he
frequently does try-he can't escape that
dire calamity.
And yet, It isn't probable that he really
deserves any such reputation. He ought
not to be supposed TO be any less pre-
disposed 70 play "hooky" occasionally
during HIS school days than any other
boy of his acquaintance; but he is. for
al! that. The mere fact that his father
Is the spiritual guide OF the nelghbor-
hood is supposed 20 throw a sort Of
glamour about him that ought not 20 be
but generally Is supposed 10 be- pierced
by scintillsting rays Of excessive wick
edness And It Is right on that way
through youth and young manhood. II
Is only during the days OF his declining
years that he comes into hts owr and
is enabled to enjoy any measure OF the
good reputation that should be his by
actual right
nEH NO .an..
hear of one, We are inclined 20 brlstle at
once in his defense. We imagine some
body is ever at our elbow seeking 10
dcfame him. As a matter Of fact. the
Parsons son Is frequently a bully good
fellow.

On what may be taken 10 be the highest
