Warning to Parents Following Eli’s Example—If parents who are following Eli’s example of neglect could see the result of the education they are giving their children, they would feel that the curse which fell on Eli would assuredly fall on them. The sin of rebellion against parental authority, lies at the very foundation of the misery and crime in the world today (The Signs of the Times, November 10, 1881).{2BC 1009.3}

Advarsel til forældre at følge Elis eksempel. - Hvis forældre følger Elias forsømmelige eksempel, kunne se resultatet af den opdragelse de giver deres børn, vil de føle at den forbandelse som faldt over Eli, visselig falder på dem. Oprørets synd imod forældres myndighed, ligger i fundamentet for fortvivlelse og forbrydelse i verden i dag (ST 10. nov, 1881).
