DON'T SNUB A BOY.
The Salvation of a Hoy I to Have
Youth In Him
Don't snub a boy because he
chooses an humble irade. The
author of "i'ilitrim's Progress"
was a tinker.
Don'i snub a boy because he
stuiiers. Dcmotheiies, the great
est orator of Greece, overcame a
harsh and stuttering voice.
Don't snub a boy because of the
ignorance of his parents. Shake
speare, the world's poet, was the
son of a man who was unable to
write his own name.
Don't snub a boy who seems
dull and stupid. Hoganh, the cel
ebrated painter engineer, was slow
at learning and did not develop as
soon as most boys.
Don't snub a boy because he
wears shabby clothes. Vi'lieu L;d
ison, the great inventor, first en
tered lioston in the depth of win
ter, he wore a pair ol yellow linen
breeches.
Don't snub a boy because his fath
er was a drunkard. Kino, who
made a new departure in Bible
study, was such, lie fell from a
scaffold in his boyhood and became
totally deaf. He was so pinched
with hunger, shivering in rags,
crawling about with exposed and
bleeding feel, that he was sent to
the parish work house, where his
first book was w riiten.
Don't snub a boy because of
physical disability. Milton was
blind and deaf, Beethoven the mu
sician was deaf, yet
"To blind old Milton's strayless
orbs
A light divine is given;
And deaf Beethoven hears the
hymns
And harmonies of heaven."
VC'hai the world needs today for
the salivation of a boy is to have
faith in him. A. A. I'fausiiehl.

THE MOTHER.
He was so beautiful my baby son!
His sun-kissed curls clung close around his head,
His deep blue eyes looked trustingly to mine,
I did my best to keep his beauty fair,
And fresh and clean and dainty, for I knew
I could never be satisfied with less.
He was so strong and" well, my linle son !
I gave him my days and nights io keep him so
Called in fresh air and sunlight to my aid,
Good food and play, all heathful things of life,
I wanted physical perfeciion, for
I could never be satisfied with less.
He was so bright and clever, my big son !
I sent him to ilie very best schools,
Denying self that he might show no lack
Of opportuniiy to do his best,
Or feel no door of progress closed to him,
I could never be satisfied with less.
And yet but now my well-beloved son !
For perfection can I pay the price ?
Or would 1 have to play the coward's pan
With selfish, shriveled soul too small io dwell
Within so lair afrume ? Is thai my choice ?
I sought the best ! Shall I be satisfied with less?
Nay, 1 would have you honorable, my son
just, loyal, brave and truthful, scorning tear
And lies and meanness ready to defend
Your home, your mother and your country's flag.
He's gone ! Dear God ! V( ith bleeding heart I know
I could not be satisfied with less !
THE HOME RELIGION.
The Old Wells of Faith that He
Thought were Hilled lip and
Choked Seemed Suddenly to
Burst with Llvlnj? Water.
Our boy has joined the Ambu
lance Corps, and he's coming
home to see us before he goes
across ihe waier!" A father spoke
with mingled pride and anticipa
tion of what the news might mean
He had just finished reading a let
ter from his son, who was away
at college. The mother clasped
her hands and did what mothers
in all ages have done in war times
prayed for strength io bear what
might come.
The boy came home and was
welcomed with smiles and tears.
He had been gone for two years,
and his heart leaped upas he weni
into his old room, which his moth
er had kept for him as it was when
he went away.
In the morning, after breakfast,
his father said :
"Mother and 1 have kept up our
morning prayers. We are read
ing in John's Gospel."
The hoy sat doCn, and his face
burned How could he tell Ihem
that during ihe two years of his
absence he had not said a prayei,
had noi even read the Bible thai
his mother had packed with loving
hand in his trunk.
As he sat there listening, he re
mcmbered thai his father some
times used in ask him to otter lli;
prayei of the morning. Two ye.it s
ago il had not seemed at all tin
natural or hard to speak a fe v
words of simple thanks in his boy
ish way, but now, as he sal ihei c
waiting for the chapier to come to
an rnd, he felt a certain terror at
the thought of being asked to pray
aloud. Why? The answer came
with ihe question. He knew ihose
two years had not been years of
spiriiual growth. He had prided
himself that when (he call had
come he was among ihe first to
respond, and he knew ihai his par
ems were proud of him. Bui
ihey did not know the distance he
had drifted from the simple home
religion.
j His father finished ihe chapter
and closed the Book, and then, as
if il had been two years ago, he
looked over at the boy and said,
"John, won'i you lead us ihis
morning?"
The boy turned and knell at his
chair, in obedience to the habit of
years gone by, but his heart ihump
ed and his body shook with fear
and shame. As he knelt there he
recollected bits of talk with college
classmates over the possible criti
cal situations ihai they might meet
on the battlefield and how they
would face them in obedience to
duty. Bui here he was confronted
with a crisis for which he had not
prepared. How could he explain
I to the home folks that he had be
gun to doubt many of the things
that Ihey held dear? How could
he speak out and tell those who
held him dear that he had neglect
ed the practice of prayer until its
very language was foreign to his
longue?
Il seemed io him that the time
was limitless before he heard his
father begin to pray. He had un
dersiood, then. He knew why the
boy had been unable to pray. And
as he went on in a petition thai pui
int.) earnest words his yearning
desire for his boy, the boy broke
down. Old wells of faith ihai he
ihoughl were filled up and choked
seemed suddenly to burst with liv
ing water. His heart beal hig'i
with longing for the religion of In-,
and mother. And suddenly In
rose from his knees and went ove-i
to where his fuiher was kneeling
and knell down by him.
The fuiher understood perfectly
As Ins boy knell there by him, he
dedicated him to God in a prayer
that the boy will never forget.
One day his father and mother
said farewell io the only son ihey had
and in a few weeks received word
that he was 'somewhere in France'
on the danger line of duty. But
ihey know from what he said to
them before he weni away thai his
religious faith was secure, and thai
day and night he would not cease to
pray the prayer of the home circle
out of a heart that had learned the
value of the eternal God. The
home religion had conquered.

PUT ON THE BRAKES.
Why Run a Useless, Hopeless, Un
beatable Race ?
Have you ever seen a yellow
dog tearing alongside a speeding
train, yelping his head off, exuber
ant only in his (lying feet? The
only object of his life seems io be
the impossible task of beating
thai monster locomotive, And
have you ever watched him in the
midst of his career bump up against
a hog-tiglii fence, come io a full
stop, and with one disappointing
yell turn tail upon the hopeless
race and depart, slinking home, a
beaten cur?
Many a man runs just as useless
a race. Always on the jump after
a good time full speed ahead; go
ingnowhere. By and by he
bumps up against obstacles in life
which stop him as effectively as
ihe hog-tight fence stops a thought
less dog. And that rock of unpre
paredness, that wall of incapability
will confront him as the one insur
moutable barrier to things worth
while.
Man's skill in playing pool, grace
in dancing, proficiency in small
talk for pink teas, extensive knowl
edge of the batting averages of ihe
big league players all froihy in
formation picked up hit or miss,
about the frills and gewgaws of life
will not lake the place of the
necessary knowledge needed in
any station where ability counts.
Put on ihe brakes while you still
have time. And ask yourself: Am
I also running a hopeless, useless,
unbeatable race? New Lra.
