Thought for May 4

[Thought for the Day]

 The world teems with corrupting influences. Fashion and custom exert a
strong power over the young. If the mother fails in her duty to
instruct, guide, and restrain, her children will naturally accept the
evil and turn from the good. Let every mother go often to her Saviour
with the prayer, "Teach us, how shall we order the child, and what shall
we do unto him?" Let her heed the instruction which God has given in His
word, and wisdom will be given her as she shall have need.  Adventist
