Signs of the Times

[Dr. Samuel S. Drury, in a sermon as reviewed in McCall's Magazine, Dayton, Ohio]

"As a boy Jesus wished to be about his Father's business; so, service is also a natural thing to youth, the one challenge to which it always responds. If a father does not spoil his boy by the suggestion of second-rate goals and petty ideals ... he may become a servant of his race, a helper and not an exploiter of his fellows. ... The best way for a father to help his boy in religion is to be in humble practicality a religious man himself."

Thus a wise teacher, speaking out of a long experience in the love and service of boys, tells us frankly and kindly that if religion is to be real to our children, it must be real to us. There is nothing for it but to take these high matters more seriously ourselves, if we would have them enter more deeply into the lives of those we love better than ourselves.
