even a contributory cause Of the
evil life of his boy? To SO hold Is
to say that a neglectful parent, who
will not trouble himself to study
the character of his son, who shuts
his eyes to sinful ways, and rests
in careless indifference as to the
probable future. will by his very
heartlessness benefit the boy, be-
cause the fathers lack of fore
thought diminishes the sons ten
dency toward dereliction.
BY way of further illustration, con-
slider the man versed in meteorology.
who by due consideration of tempera-
ture, air-pressure, humidity, and other
essential data, Is able to forecast
weather conditions. He speaks with
the assurance of long experience In
foretelling a storm. The storm comes,
bringing benefit or injury, contribut-
ing to the harvest perhaps or destroy
ing the ripening grain: but, whether
it be Of good or i'll effect. can he who
prophesied of the approaching storm
be held accountable for IT'S coming
1t may be argued. however, that in
these illustrative instances neither the
mortal parent nor the human fore
caster had power to alter the respec-
tive course Of events. while God can
direct and over-rule as He wills.
But, be II remembered that God has
granted agency unto His children,
and does not control them In its ex-
ercise by arbitrary force. He impels
no man toward sin; He compels none
to righteousness.
The Father OF our spirits has full

earthly parents through experience

infinitesimally small. In that surpass-
ing knowledge God reads the future
