PASTOR HANDS
FATHERS ADVICE
Points Out Necessity Of Par
entS Setting Good Example
for Children
SUGGESTSRELIGIOUS
TRAINING AHEAD OF ALL

Fathers Day" at West Church last
night was marked by one of the larg-
est audiences of the year, amossg whom
there was a goodly proportion of fash-
ers present. and some stirring advice
was given them by the Rev. Alexander
Alison, Jr
Mr.. Alison said in part that parents
who cared for the education, social,
and financial privileges of their chill
dren were manifestly Indifferent to the
most important Of all, the religious
training 1t was important because
of the Importance Of training the child
for eternity, and also because It was
necessary, the child differing from
other forms of creation I'm needing cul-
tUre. Secondly, said the pastor,
parents should teach continually, day
and night He advised the fathers
to teach their boys by example, as
children are great copyists. He said,
eff YOU fathers are desirous of hav-
ing your boys avoid drinking, avoid
drinking yourselves. IF you would not
have them use tobacco. do no use IL
yourselves. If you would have them
stay away from places Of questionable
character stay away yourselves" Con-
trsriwise. if you wish your boys to
have spiritual advantages, see that you
avail yourselves of them. When in
viting the boy to church, say, Come
rather than Co
Mr. Alison said that fathers who
were so situated in business that they
could give very little time at home.
were imperilling the future of their
boys. He said a father had no right
to be out of the home all the time.
No matter how a man was situated in
business, said Mr.. Alison, he ought to
arrange certain times to be at home
with his children. He had known
men who spent practically no minute
at home.
It was necessary. he said, to win the
love and respect of the children by
sympathy, children did not want TO
learn from people who had no time for
children Mr. Alison concluded with
an exhortation to the fathers to teach
the children the fear of the Lord, tell
ing a story in his own Wilmington
experience, of a dying girl, who asked
her father TO say her evening prayers
as she was too weak. she said, Papa
what would ! do without you to pray
for me2" Mr.. Alison spoke Of the joy
it must have been to that father that
he could place the hand of his child
in the hand of Christ, a joy greater
than any earthly riches he could have
given her.
Mr.. Alison announced that the church
would be open all summer, to the
fathers would have an opportunity &c
do their full duty in church attend
ance.
