My dear children, I think many of you have seen mother reading God’s Holy Book and finding comfort from it, as this aged lady is doing in our picture. And no doubt she is seeking to lead her daughter to see the beauty in the Scriptures which she has been led to see. There are many portions of God’s Word which speak of the wisdom of taking heed to the advice of our parents. We will look at one in the book of Proverbs, which shows how it makes us attractive even to others.
“MY SON, HEAR THE INSTRUCTION OF THY FATHER AND FORSAKE NOT THE LAW OF THY MOTHER.”
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.” Prov. 1:8, 9.
