      “The glory of children are their fathers.”

      It is the greatest of all earthly heritages to have parents that can be esteemed and loved.  Happy is the son who, as his judgment matures, can honour his father with an undiminishing or even a growing regard and deepening joy.

      It is a very real delight to be able to look back, through all the later years of life, and recall the memories of the beloved and revered parents who have “passed into the skies.”  It is the duty of childhood to make the very best response it can make for the love, care, pains, patience, prayerful solicitude, its parents have expended upon it.  It will remain a lasting source of thankfulness and joy that every possible filial attention was paid that could be paid; lighting and smoothing the path of the parents to the very door of heaven.
