 There is a responsibility beuuea+hed to the boy who bears his f. rher's full name for though all who re present a family are expected to mainta in it's honorable estate to the namesake of the head If the family comes the I1ivilge and the duty of ordering his Tiff as his senior would wish so that he may continue in the respect of his commt unity.
 The junior member of a family may, in a sense, be regarded as his fathers younger self and great responsibility comes to him with the name.
