Description
This short tract for children came from the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society, at Boston in 1851. It teaches the fifth commandment: honor your father and your mother. Cheerful, prompt obedience is the first way, it says. A story shows a second. Little Willy, at school, has his book snatched by a rude boy named Henry. Willy does not strike back or snatch in return. He asks in a coaxing tone and bears the loss with grace. That conduct, the tract says, honored his mother, though she never heard of it.
