A College Student Writes

Honoring Our Parents

MARCEIL RUTH DeLACY

In Christian Science we learn that our only true Father and Mother is God, but this does not release us from the debt of gratitude we owe to our human parents who lovingly share their home with us. The kindness of parents should not go unappreciated merely because a child feels that it is his parents' duty to provide for him. Gratitude cannot be overlooked.

In her book "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy asks, "Art thou a child, and hast added one furrow to the brow of care?" Mis., p. 339; In the same paragraph she continues: "Hast thou a friend, and gettest to be grateful? Remember, that for all this thou alone canst and must atone."
