The first reason for this is that we might provide for our offspring. This includes provisions in the a r e a s which are physical, mental, moral, esthetical and spiritual. Paul writes to his son in the faith, Timothy, “And one who does not provide for his own, especially for his own house­ hold, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” This pro­ vision is for the physical body, the proper kind of food, health, and medi­ cine when needed. The little child cannot climb out of its crib or play­ room and go to a doctor when there is a need, or when some immuniza­ tion should be given. I was visiting in a certain home when a little boy came up to me and said, “Mr. Smith, I want to show you my pictures.” He got out a box in which he had more than a hun­ dred snapshots which he had taken with an expensive camera his father and mother had gotten for him. Frankly, it would have taken a Ph.D. to operate the thing. Do you know, not a single one of those pictures was in focus. When he had gone out to play, I said to his mother, “Have you had little Jimmy’s eyes exam­ ined ? From the looks of his pictures, it may be he has seriously impaired vision.” She was quite sure it was merely a case of his not knowing how to use the camera. She agreed, however, to take him to the doctor. His eyes were examined and he was fitted with glasses. Some weeks later when I was in that same home, the mother filled up with emotion and tears came in her eyes. She said, “Do you know what my little lad said to me after he got his glasses? ‘Mommy, for the first time, I can see the tops of the trees!’ ” Whereas he had been doing 3

C hapter O ne I t WAS A number of years ago that I was asked to address a Mother’s Club on the aspect of child life. I started by saying, “I happen to be a father. My first child is six weeks old. I am sure that I’m acquainted with all the problems and have all the answers.” (They chuckled, as did I.) Since that time I have become, with my dear wife’s help, a father of five children. Some of them have already established their own homes. In the intervening years I have coun­ selled with young men and women in colleges and universities about marital and family relations. There is no institution in all the world as significant as the family. This is the basic unit and final bul­ wark of our society. “If you will give us godly Christian homes,” said one of our presidents a few years ago, “most of our real problems will take care of themselves.” He was right! Human beings, u n lik e animals, take many years to mature. The government says a young man is not old enough to vote until he is 21 years of age. The reason for the dif­ ference is that animals are directed by instincts. Whether it be a Balti­ more Oriole, building the same kind of a nest which it has built through the years, or the elaborate diving bell of a water spider, the Almighty Crea­ tor directs each one in the instincts of its own development. Human beings are not the same. We concern ourselves with mental, moral and spiritual values. A young man cannot be taught to be honest by instinct. In the providence of God there are long years necessary for the proper development of character. This is why God gave you children. The responsibility is up to you!

poorly in school, he later went to a university and took top honors in his particular field of study. We are entirely responsible for our children’s physical well-being. How many mothers know the distinc­ tions between a carbohydrate, a vita­ min and a protein? I wonder if they really know what a good balanced diet is. Are you providing all that is necessary for the proper develop­ ment of your offspring? The Psalm­ ist writes of the Lord, “Thou hast set the solitary in families.” How grateful we should be for our chil­ dren. Only the Lord can guide us as fathers and mothers with discern­ ment. Will you seek His help in com­ munion with Him and through the power and inspiration of His Word? C hapter T wo One of the primary reasons why God has given children parents is so that we might discipline them in love. A child cannot provide for it­ self. There are long years before he becomes mature enough to use proper discernment. Science reveals today that many of the actions of the pregnant mother affect the embryo carried in her womb during the gestation period from conception to birth. How grate­ ful we should be that our Saviour has so structured the body to protect the baby from much of the harmful action of the mother. As an example, the food intake of the mother may have a great and even a harmful effect upon the child. Scientists at the University of Michigan have reported that a moth­ er, carrying a child at certain times in her life, may affect it even by tak­ ing aspirin. This was reported in a medical journal just this last year. Last fall, a baby bom to a 27-year- old Yukon mother, an alcoholic, weighed 4 pounds and 15 ounces at birth. Its breath was alcoholic. This little child, for 24 hours, was jerky and jumpy. To quote the Canadian 4

Medical Association Journal, it had delirium tremens symptoms. The American Medical Association wrote of a similar experience in New Jersey. Doctors were surprised that a certain new-born i n f a n t went through all the symptoms of narcotic addiction: withdrawal, convulsions and the like. Checking out the moth­ er, they found her to be a confirmed addict. For three or four days, that child continued all of the symptoms. It has been shown by statistics that twice as many babies are bom mentally defective in the spring af­ ter a hot summer. Why is this ? Dur­ ing the hot summer, not infrequent­ ly, mothers who are carrying a child when the cerebral cortex is being formed, instead of eating proteins and the proper building blocks, have nourished themselves on iced teas and soda water. These are delectable but do not provide material to build up the brain. There is a great deal of >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Page 16 Page 17 Page 18 Page 19 Page 20 Page 21 Page 22 Page 23 Page 24 Page 25 Page 26 Page 27 Page 28 Page 29 Page 30 Page 31 Page 32
