take care Of him and this is known to his
parents. Thus, if he should cause some
serious damage, such as burning up a
neighbor's garage, the parents would most
likely be held liable because of their fail
ure to give him reasonable supervision
An extreme eose
A final, extreme case: Bills father hates
his neighbOr and suggests to Bill that he
60 over at night and rip up his garden. In
this case the court would probably deal
more sternly with father than with SON.
These four cases should give you an
idea of the various ways in which you
might, in the eyes of the law, contribute
to the misdeeds of your child. In the case
Of the BIB gun, the parent did not show
reasonable foresight; in the case Of the
rock-thrOwing child, the parent did not
try to correct the fault; in the case of the
unsupervised child, the parent did not
furnish reasonable care; in the last case,
the parent was in actual collision.
Such contributOry conduct would tend
to make parent liable in any state.
Now, it should be understood that the
acts we have discussed so far have all i'm
vOlved knowledge plus contributing or
negligent action by parent. You may be
permitted short sigh Of relief that in NO
state is parent responsible for the purely
accidental damage caused by his child. An
illustration of this: Billy is playing base
ball in an open field; he hits home run
and the ball bOunces through the window
Of an automobile. 1t is doubtful that
Billy's father could be held responsible.
a boy end q car
The question Of your parental respon-
sibility becomes extremely serious when
your boy starts to drive the family car. 1t
is usually held that if parent allows a
child to drive his car, the parent is legally
responsible for any damage or injury the
child might cause. So it could be doubly
tragic if your boy should run someone
down = for the victim and for the par
emit. Alloy steps on the gas = his family's
Ife-savings are wiped out in judgment.

Now, it might seem that parents have it
pretty easy if they live in places where the
common law of the nation has not been
amended. But actually, even the common
law expects a great deal Of parent: he
must bring up his child with reasonable
care, do his best to forestall any expect
able misconduct, curb the child from
repeating acts about which the parent has
been warned
Suppose Johnny's father gives him a
BIB gun for Christmas. If Johnny shoots
someone with it, or peppers the panes Of a
greenhouse, his father can be held respOn-
sible. The law holds that a reasonable
man should realize that gun can be dan
gerous in the hands Of child.
Another case in point: the Smiths have
been warned by neighbors that their child
has a nasty habit Of throwing rocks at
other children. 1t is up to the Smiths to
curb the child; they might be held liable
for damages if he should cause injury.
A third case: l2-year-old Fred's father
goes to work every day and his mother
plays bridge nearly every afternoon. Fred
is forever getting into trouble Of a vicious
nature because there is nobody home to

needed only to make contact with

needed only to make contact with
| it.
The spiritual parallel is ap-
parent. God would have you catch
visions of Him visions of His love
and power but you must tune in.
How? Through the pages of a book
the words and teachings of the
Bible and through the ministry OF
church which brings these teach
ings to you. But some still contend
that God is unknowable. Well, He
may be unknowable to them but
the fault is their own. In their
attitude toward God they are like
the man who pulls down his an
tennae wires skaters his tubes,
breaks all electrical contacts to his
set and then affirms that there is
no communication of sight or
sound between him and places far
removed. OF course such communi-
cation is impossible for him be-
cause he disdains to use the means
that make television possible. And
God cannot be anything but silent
and unknown to those who repect
the Bible and turn their backs to
the church. On the other hand,
those who accept and use them will
find religion and faith the greatest
realities of their lives.
How do the Bible and the church
accomplish such great things? Well,
how do radio and television do their
work? A Negro's piquant illustra-
tion of the mysteries of the tele-
phone comes to mind here. This
Negro stepped on dogs tail The
dog gave frightened yelp. Thar,
he said, 81 tromp on the dogs tail
end and he yaps on his head end.
Now if I had a dog a thousand
miles long and I tromp his tail here
in Virginny, he yaps way down In
New Orleans"
While this in an ingenious story
it does not explain the telephones
and much less radio or televisi0n
where there is no tangible connec-
tion not even a dog or wire And
though men may write volumes a.
bout ether waves, sound vibrations,
ct cetera, the fact remains that no
one fully understands them nor
does any one know just how tie
powers of sight and sound can be
harnessed and dispatched from the
remotest places to that cabinet in
your living room for your enter
tainment and information. 1t is,
and will remain, mystery.
With this in mind let us ac-
cept this miracle of television with
sincere appreciation. And may We
catch such a profound understand
ing of its potential worth as a
channel for clean entertainment,
sound education and Christian
morality and religion that we will
not allow forces, of evil to debase it
into areas of sordiness and sin. Let
us keep television worthy of
place in our homes for ourselves
and for our children.

ces, he spoke of the mother of Lin

to her, placing the mother or wife
as the center of the home. He
spoke of the overfuil1ess and the
cluttered life of the present time
