Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Free Synagogue Pulpit, Vol. 2: Sermons and Addresses
Parent and child, - the questions involved in this re lation and its adjustment are really fundamental to all other questions. For all life's phases are afiected by the relation of parent and child, Which constitutes the home, and these in turn afiect and influence it. N 0 problem, however vast or remote, is unrelated to it. Unless this be right, nothing is right; if it be right, everything else may be right. Blessing or curse the home must prove not only to its makers or unmakers but to all. If it be true, as Emerson says, that the boundaries of personal influence it is im possible to fix, as persons are organs of moral or supernat ural force, does not the same limitation hold peculiarly true With respect to the family influence? Whatever else the influences affecting the life of the normal indi vidual, the largest measure of determining environment is concentred in his own home. One may escape the in fluence of an individual, impervious to its evil and nu touched by its good, but the atmosphere of the family home is inescapable because all-pervasive.
