177:2.5 For more than an hour [[Jesus]] and [[John Mark|John]] continued this [[discussion]] of [[home]] life. [[The Master]] went on to [[explain]] to [[John Mark|John]] how a child is wholly dependent on his [[parents]] and the [[associated]] [[home]] life for all his early [[concepts]] of everything [[intellectual]], [[social]], [[moral]], and even [[spiritual]] since the [[family]] [[represents]] to the young [[child]] all that he can first know of either [[human]] or [[divine]] [[relationships]]. The [[child]] must derive his first impressions of the [[universe]] from the [[mother]]'s [[care]]; he is wholly dependent on the [[earth]]ly [[father]] for his first [[ideas]] of [[the heavenly Father]]. The [[child]]'s subsequent life is made [[happy]] or unhappy, easy or [[difficult]], in [[accordance]] with his early [[mental]] and [[emotional]] life, conditioned by these [[social]] and [[spiritual]] [[relationships]] of the [[home]]. A [[human being]]'s entire [[afterlife]] is enormously [[influenced]] by what happens during the first few years of [[existence]].

177:2.6 It is our [[sincere]] [[belief]] that the [[gospel]] of [[Jesus]]' teaching, founded as it is on the [[father]]-[[child]] [[relationship]], can hardly enjoy a world-wide [[acceptance]] until such a time as the [[home]] life of the [[modern]] [[civilized]] peoples [[embraces]] more of [[love]] and more of [[wisdom]]. Notwithstanding that [[parents]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century twentieth century] [[possess]] great [[knowledge]] and increased [[truth]] for improving the [[home]] and ennobling the home life, it remains a [[fact]] that very few [[modern]] homes are such [[good]] places in which to nurture boys and girls as [[Jesus]]' [[home]] in [[Galilee]] and [[John Mark]]'s home in [[Judea]], albeit the [[acceptance]] of [[Jesus]]' [[gospel]] will result in the [[immediate]] improvement of [[home]] life. The [[love]] life of a [[wise]] home and the [[loyal]] [[devotion]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_101#101:1._TRUE_RELIGION true religion] exert a [[profound]] [[reciprocal]] [[influence]] upon each other.

177:2.7 It is true that many of the objectionable stunting [[influences]] and other cramping features of these olden [[Jewish]] [[homes]] have been [[virtually]] eliminated from many of the better-regulated [[modern]] [[homes]]. There is, indeed, more [[spontaneous]] [[freedom]] and far more [[personal]] [[liberty]], but this liberty is not restrained by [[love]], [[motivated]] by [[loyalty]], nor directed by the [[intelligent]] [[discipline]] of [[wisdom]]. As long as we teach the child to [[pray]], " [[Our Father]] who is in [[heaven]], " a tremendous [[responsibility]] rests upon all [[earth]]ly [[fathers]] so to live and order their [[homes]] that the [[word]] father becomes worthily [[enshrined]] in the [[minds]] and [[hearts]] of all [[growing]] [[children]].
