as is related below in the The Par.
able of Prodigal Father. Fathers
and Sons banquets are given:
"A certain man had two sons, an,
the younger of them said to hi.
father, Father. give me the porto,
of thy time. and thy attention, and
thy companionship, and the counsel
which fallcth to me. And he divid.
ed unto them his living in that b,
paid the boys bills. and sent him
to select preparatory school, and to
dancing school, and to college and
tried to believe that he was doin ),
his full duty by the boys.
And not many days after the
father gathered all his interests and
aspirations and ambitions and took
his Journey into a far country, into
land of stocks and bonds and Sc
curitics and other things which do
not interest IA boy; and there he
wasted his precious opportunity Of
being Il chum to his own son. And
when he had spent the very best of
his life and had gained money but
had failed to find satisfaction. there
arose mighty famine in his heart;
and he began to be in want Of SYM
pathy and real companionship. And
he went and joined himself to one
of the clubs of that country; AMI
they elected him Chairman of the
House Committee and President OF
the club and sent him to Congress.
And he would fain have satisfied
himself with the husks that other
men did cat and NO man gave unto
him any real friendship.
But when he came to himself he
SAID, How many men Of my ac-
quaintance have boys whom they un-
dcrstand and who understand them.

ciatc with their boys and seem per
fectly happy in the comradeship of

to my son, and will say unto him,
Son. | have sinned against Heaven
and in thy sight; am no more wor-

me as one of thy acquaintances.' And
he arose and came to his son. But
while he was yet ufar off, his son
saw him, and was moved with aston
lshment, and instead of running snA
falling on his neck, he drew back
and was ill at ease. And the father
said unto him, Son, ! have sinned
against Heaven. and in thy sight; !
am no more worthy to be called thy
father. Forgive me now and let me
be your friend But the son said,
Not SO, l wish it were possible, but

The boy is given So days on the CON
