Our Boys to Carry On.
What is a boy? He is a person who
is going to carry on what you have
started.
He is to sit right where you are
sitting and attend to those things
you think so important when you are
done.
You may adopt all the policies you
please, but how they will be car
ried out depends upon him.
Even if you make leagues and
treaties, he will have to manage
them.
He is going to sit at your desk in
the senate, and occupy your place
on the supreme bench.
He will assume control of your
cities, states and nations.
Your prisons, churches, schools,
universities and corporations.
All your work is going to be judged
and praised or condemned by him.
Your reputation and future are
in his hands.
All your work is for him in the
fate of the nation and of humanity
is in his hands.
So it might be well to pay some
attention to him.
