 First Discourse 1:8 — Filial Obedience (Proverbs by N. Simon)
 Throughout the Bible obedience to parents is coupled with subjection to God....“Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee” is the last of the first series. It is the recognition of Divine authority and the subject place belonging to the creature. (Bible Questions for December)
 Disobedience to parents the apostle classes among the evidences of the last-day apostasy (2 Tim. 3:1-5). It is the crying sin of the present lawless times, and presages the awful hour of doom soon to strike. The Scriptural “Children, obey your parents” has almost universally been superseded by “Parents, obey your children.” It is a sowing of the wind. The whirlwind will yet have to be reaped.
