A Sunday school teacher went over to visit one of her new pupils named
Katrine, one summer's afternoon. The family had immigrated only five years
earlier from the "home country". The mother was warm and friendly, even her
house exuded hospitality. What was most impressive though was the woman's
constant references to her husband. Whenever there was a lull in the
conversation a little 4 year old boy would ask, "Is it almost time for papa
to come home?" Later, the other children came in from school, greeted me
politely and went to their chores. The oldest daughter said, "I'm going to
start some of Papa's favorite muffins for supper," as she headed for the
kitchen. As the teacher got up to leave, Katrine asked, "Can't you wait a
small moment and meet papa?" By this time the teacher was very curious
about this remarkable man who commanded such love and respect from all his
family. The shock of meeting Papa was almost too much for the teacher.
Instead of a well-dressed man of brilliant speech, a small man, twisting
nervously at his mustache and talking in the broken accent of his native
tongue, greeted "the teacher of his leetle Katrina." For some time the
teacher pondered the mystery of this man's place in his home. Suddenly it
dawned on her. It's not who or what the father is personally, but the
mother's attitude toward him that makes all the difference. A husband can
only take their proper place at the head of the house when wives respect
and honor their wishes, thereby giving our children the desire to do
likewise.
