Sheik Fathers & Flapper Mothers, That's Why Young People Go Wrong

Found via Infomercantile, in The Troublemakers post, was this excellent clipping:



"WHY YOUNG PEOPLE GO WRONG"
REV HARRY BLACK

Pastor Free Methodist Church
Corner West Colton Avenue and Webster Street Redlands, California

(a newspaper report)

PARENTS HEAR PULPIT ATTACK
Sheik Fathers and Flapper Mothers are Assailed by Redlands Clergyman
(Special Staff Correspondence "The Sun")


REDLANDS, CALIF.--Sheik fathers who enjoy prize fights and jazz more than the comfort of home and children, and flapper mothers "who display the kneebone, collarbone, backbone, and wishbone," were scored in the spirited sermon preached by the Rev. Harry Black at the first of a two weeks revival at the Free Methodist Church in Redlands.

"The automobile, sheik fathers, flapper mothers, immodest dress and lack of religious training are the causes for the downfall of many of our youth," the pastor declared in his sermon on "The Revolt of Youth, Roadside Spooning, Why Our Young People Go Wrong and Who Is To Blame." He continued:
CROWDED AUTOS ARE ATTACKED

"The automobile can be made a blessing or a curse, and it is both. It is a disgrace to society for four or five young folks to crowd into one seat of a car, and nothing but a base desire will lead boys and girls to do this. They should be arrested right on the spot.
