H. How school teachers and college professors sin against the child: 1. By teaching them evolution, atheism, and infidelity. 2. By neglecting their MORAL AND SPIRITUAL edu cation almost altogether. 3. By compelling young people to dance in schools. Instance of this kind occurred in California where parents were fined for refusing to allow their child to go to school on this account. 4. By setting too low a standard for right Christian living. 5. By denying their pupils the right use of the Bible, and even openly denying the Word itself in the class room. 6. In some cases by so discouraging pupils that they are weary of life, and commit suicide! About 800 child suicides in one year! HI. How society sins against the child: 1. By placing before them sinful examples in word and deeds. 2. By corrupting their minds in the dance, the movies, and pool rooms. 3. By allowing places of vice to stand in the way of their purity. 4. By scorning their Christian views and lives. 5. By sometimes using them to perpetrate crimes, us ing them as “tools.” 6. By so engrossing their minds with worldly things that they minimize and neglect, yea, even reject the spiritual things. “Woe-unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!”—Matt. 18:7. — J. T. Larsen.
SINNING AGAINST THE CHILDREN “Said I not unto you, Do not sin against the child?”— Gen. 42:22. I. How parents sin against the child: 1. Pre-natal sins of parents:— ' 2. By improper care in infancy due to ignorance and neglect. 3. By allowing children to do as they please— dis obedience and self-will. 4. By allowing them to take part in harmful pleasures. 5. By not allowing them helpful, healthful, and use ful pleasures. 6. By allowing them to go idle. Note that sins of Sodom were: .¡‘Idleness, fulness of bread, and pride.” (Ezek. 16:49.) 7. By allowing them to dress like the worldlings.— placing themselves in position to ignore laws of health and decency. 8. By neglecting their spiritual education, giving them only a secular education—without prayer, the Bible and church. 9. By withholding the child from going to Sunday school, or' summer Bible school, and sometimes church. Oh, the sin of parents even refusing to allow their children to accept Christ! 10. By failing to love and encourage them because of being “too busy.” . 11. By failing to teach them regarding moral and home subjects; allowing them to learn from other ill- instructed persons and too often led astray. 12. By failing to set- them a right example as to their social and .daily duties.
