IT HAPPENS ONLY IN A
FREE COUNTRY
(To Mothers of Potential
Candidates)
Chas. E. Parrott
In America, ever since, the throne
of prince
Was ruled out as a popular seat. !
V. S. mothers who bear have chos
en a chair
For their ambitious sons to com
pete.
Baby's rattle is fun when first it's
begun. i
It's proof that baby’s all there, j
It fills mother with joy to think !
that her boy ;
Can aspire to the the president’s ;
chair. |
Though she doesn't look in the ^
candidate's book
Of parliamentary lore,
She is sure that her son has al
ready begun
To make his bid for the floor.
When the campaign warms up and
fond mother's cup
Of patience is full to the brim.
And the tinkle so thin swells into j
a din
^■other's loyalty suffers for him
This, her cross number one, has
i
only begun
A series she'll have have to bear j
A- she protects against fate 'til he !
has reached the estate
When he'll blaze his own trail to
t he chair.
Alter she's done her best site pass
es the rest
To t’ne one whom John calls the
WORD.*
When he takes a hand and stirs
up the land
S 'e knows that her prayers have
been heard.
I
When the campaign's complete
anti the news in Hie street
Proclaims her son leader of men:
Faith has won its reward, and
proven the WORD:
Amd our system lias done it again.

FATHERS AND REVERENDS
“And call no man your father
on the earth; for ONE is your
Father, even He who is in heav
en." <Matt. 23:9' “He hath sent
redemeption unto His people: He
hath commanded His covenant of
forever: Holy and REVEREND is
His Name. iPsa 11:9'.
Christ strictly forbade any man
to be called a religious or spir
itual FATHER. To God alone be
longs that elevated honor and
Holy title and it is presumption
and rebellion of the deepest dye
for men to usurp such a title, and
they that do address men are
guilty of violating the command
X) "call no man your father.” No
nspired apostle ever acepted such
itles as Father, Holy Father,, Most
3oly Father or Reverend. They
rad more respect for God and .
dis word than to brazenly insult
heir God by accepting such un
nerited titles. Peter was a low
y and meek disciple of Christ.
Tot an ecclesiastical dignitary,
ording if over Gods’ heritage, be
iecked in the rich gold and red
rappings of the fictitious vicars
•f Christ. He allowed no man to
)Ovv before him. (Acts 10:25) and
all him Most Holy Father.
This idea of calling men Rev
rends and Fathers came not from
he Bible but from the dogmas 1
nd traditions of men, which tra- j
itiortis make vain their worship
f Jehovah. (Matt. 15:8-9)- Like :
he Pharises of old they like to
alk down the streets and be ad
.ressed as “Father" this and
Reverend" that. It is a sooth
ig balm to their inflated ego.
id they LOVE it. j
