The Prodigal Father.

The parable of the prodigal son is a
beautiful story and has been told to al-
most every people and in almost every
clinic.

It has been the theme of unnumbered
sermons and essays, and its little role
has been played by a great army of
young men in remote as well as in pres-
ent times.

There are no doubt thousiands of
young men roaming the world over in
“poverty, hunger and dirt” who would
gladly return to the parental roof if
they only dared, but they are deterred
by a fear that the welcome accorded
them would be widely difierent from

nine one received by the prodigal son of
~§Qliptu_re.

Now, while the prodigal son is held
"up as a warning to "point a moral and
adorn stale,” too little attention he
been paid to the prodigal father, al-
though it can be proveu that he is d -
rectly responsible for 'the prodigal
course taken by the son. '

While the prodigal father does not
take to the wood, be yet truly does
wander from the plane of conduct that
would insure a happy home, and he too
ofter wastes the legitimate heritage Of
his children in riotous living.

It is not enogh for the father to sup-
ply his son with food, shelter, clothing
and education. He should remember
his own boyhood, and as far as possible
he a companion, counselor, guide and
friend to his children as well as their
father.

In too many cases he thinks that he is
complying with all the requirements of
the law of God and of man when he
supplies their material needs. Hence
to many unhappy homes, so many ruin-
ed lives and so many prodigal sons
wandering over the earth and eating
the bitter husks of sorrow and defeat.

The true father will pour out his love

V and sympathy upon his children with
unstinted measure. He will enter into
all their aims and ambitions, and make
their surroundings at once so pleasant
and so profitable that home will be to
them a heaven and they 'will have no
desire to stray into strange and untried
fields.

A father should inspire love in his
children, and never fear. He should
so conduct himself as to be a worthy
example for. them to follow, and he
should win and maintain their respect
as well as their affection.

He should fully realize that these
children are given to him in trust; that
a most porteutious responsibility rests
upon him, and at the last day their
souls may he demanded at his hands.

And when these bOys are growing up
he should study their inclinations, the
bent of their minds, into what direction
of trade or profession it may appear to
go, and when he is satisfied that the
inclination is real and not a fancy, he
should gratify it so far as the ability to
do so is in his power.

V'thy a bright young boy has been
transformed into a wretched prodigal
because forced into a trade or business
for which he had not the slightest taste
or aptitude.

The prodigal father is not a curiosity;

he is too plentiful for that, and he is .

responsible too often for the miserable
story of the prodigal son that I so
hequently arouses the pity and regret
of humanity.

Timely Warning.

The charts for “Delmonico’s at 6’
will be opened at Weed’s drug-'store

Ferris, Mrs. Jennie Littell Nash, Mrs.
A. Blanchard and Mrs. Gumbart. Miss
Anna Dickerman gave a short talk on
Mexico andMiss Miry Kirby Jennings
rendered a delightful solo.

During the afternoon fruit juices and
hen home were served and each lady
presented with an exquisite bouquet of
choice flowers. '

The ladies w are high in their praise of
Mrs. Keep’s delightful entertainment
and taste in turning her home into a
flower bower to give zest to the subject
of the meeting.
