Shall We Colonize Around Our Institutions
409
Parents, help your children to help you and to help one another. Be
kind and courteous to your neighbors. By good works let your light
shine forth amid the moral darkness. If you are true Christians, you
will become more and more able to understand what the will of the
Lord is, and you will move forward step by step in the light of His
word.
Study the life of Christ, and strive to follow the pattern He has
given you. Ask yourselves if you have done your whole duty to the
church in your own house, and your duty to your neighbors. Have you
been faithful in teaching your children lessons of Christian politeness?
Are there not many opportunities for improvement in the government
[497]
of your home? Do not neglect your children. Learn how to discipline
yourselves, that you may be worthy of the respect of your children and
your neighbors. If Christ is not abiding in your hearts, how can you
teach others the lessons of patience and kindness that must be manifest
in the life of every Christian? Be sure that you are keeping the way of
the Lord, and then teach the truth to those around you.—
