AND WHICH UIOUT TBT HAVI BERN
OURS,
You maj present your catalogue f all
the most lovely and lovable objecls of
earth and sea and aky, and, without a
moment's hesitation, I shall choose from
among them all a little obild. The
blessed Christ aet such a one in the midst
ol his disciples as a model and eianiple
for all those, matured io sin, who would
prepare for entrance into the eternal
kingdom. Today that man who is f.nh
eit removed from the faith and oonfi
denoe of childhood ia the one most in
danger of everlasting torment,
The world has talteo it for granted
that Hide girls are good, just bieau e
they are ; aod then somehow it has
spread abroad, as by common oonscnt,
that little boys are bad. I wonder w.ho
tarted this story on the bojs? There
is not i word of truth in it. A baby
boy is just as good as a baby girl, and
neither is worse than the other until one
is led astray by some tongue that has
been taught to wound or deceive, while
the other remains in the gentle presence
of a warm, true heart that beams with
light and love.
Another fa'se notion seems to have be
come current, and that is that it is just
as neceeBary for boys to be bad as it is
for girls to be good. I believe that nat
orally every boy is good. God made him
to, and intended that he should remain
so, If be dees not, God i not to blame;
and if the child does that which is bad
before he is old enough to discern be.
tween good aod evil, he is not to blame.
He ia simply imitating older people.
The man who is cheated, slandered or
persecuted during the business of the day
goes home at night aod looks into the
eyes of his pure innocent boy, and re
gardB him as a vindication of God that
makes all things good.
I've seen a man wear a frown a week
and oarrj a grudge in his heart all l is
life, but I've seen a boy's tears dried and
his wounds healed instantaneously by a
mother's kin. I've aceo grown people
pout and fret benause of supposed slight,
but I've seen a sadly neglected boy quiet
and uncomplaining. I've seen men
brawl and fight O'er slight differences of
pinion, but I've fe o an unmercifully
beaten boy klaa the band cf his heartless
parent as soon as the (marling ceased
I've Been men plunge into questionable
enterprises without stopping to tbiok,
bat I've seen boy hold back from invi
ting amuaementa and asks : "Father,
do you think it is wrong?" God bless
the boys 1 the pure, true boys, Tbey
make ui sigh foi the ionocenoe we have
outlived and wbioh might yet have been
ours.
