Being Good and Strong.

There is period of time in European
history called sometimes the Dark
Ages, sometimes the Middle Ages.
Times were not dull then. There was
ever so much adventure then; ever so
many brave deeds done. There were
knights in those days who rode horses
covered with steel coverings, and were
themselves covered with the same.
They fought with spears 1t was be-
fore there were guns. These knights
were. very brave and strong men. How
came they to be SO? / find in book
by Mr.. Ruskin something | want you
should readAhis answer to the ques-
ton how they made knights in the
Middle Ages. What do yousuppose,''
asks Mr.. Ruskin, was the substance
of good education the education OF
knight in the Middle Agesp What was
taught to boy as soon as he was able
to learn anything2 First, to keep un.
der his body and bring it into subjec-
ton and perfect strength; then to take
Christ for his Captain, to live as always
in His presence: and, finally, to do his
decoir duty. Mark the word) to all
men" Men living in the Middle Ages
made knights of their boys by
teaching them as MIR. Ruskin has
said. Such teaching is good for our
boys. When you shall read the exploits
of the knights, and are made to wonder
at their endurance and are charmed by
their prowess and valor, you will or
should feel all through you how splen-
did it is to be strong. .dt oett. b4-
? 1 wish all boys were ambitious to be
strong; were determined to be. If they
were, there are some hurtful things
they would not do. Boys bent on be-
ing strong would let tobacco alone. 1t
may be tobacco does not hurt men aft
er they are grown up, their appetites
regulated, their bones firm. If it may
not hurt grown-up men, it, does hurt
growing boys. A doctor in England
examined thirty-eight boys, between
the ages of nine and fifteen, who used
9fTwenty-seven of them he
found seriously injured, made unsound,
by tobacco. Another doctor says:
"We do most uneguivocally condemn
the use of tobacco by growing boys, in
any form 1t will certainly do them in
.iury.I' The boy who smokes, If he
keep. on smoking, will be a diseased boy
and cannot be strong boy. ,r-y4.'.
There are people who say it does no
good to say such things to boys. 1
think better of boys. You are not so
bad as not to care for what is true. 1
have told, you two truths. One is that
it is most splendid thing to be strong;
the other is that tobacco in growing
boys destroys strength. You will (be-
cause you are boys, and want to be
manly, strong boys,) pay attention to
the truths | have been telling you. 1
could have told you more.
A man writing to boys (Mr j. T.
Field says: "If / were boy again,
would 60 to bed earlier than most boys
do" So would l. .Is'a lI'.
+" Go to bed early, let tobacco alone.
and you will have good chance to be
strong; being strong, the chances are
you will be good; and, being good and
strong, you will do great deal of good
in world in which there is need that
much good should be done. Req. j. L.

opinion that It was outnumesfsd y the
