once stood at the foot of Swiss
mountain which lowered up from the
Nispbach valley to IL height of ten
thousand feet 1t looked like a tire
mcndous pull to the top. But | said
To my self ooh, it will only require one
step al time - Before sunset | stood
on the summit enjoying the magniti-
cent view of the peaks around me, and
right opposite to me flashed the icy
crown of the WciSshorn, which Pro-
irSsor Tyudall was the first man to dis
cover, by taking one step at time.
Every hoy who would master difficult
study, every youth who hopes to get
on in the world, must keep this motto
in mind. When the famous AragO was
schoolboy he got discouraged over
his mathematics. But one day he
found on the waste leaf of the cover of
his text book short letter from
D'Alembcrt to Il youth discouraged like
himself The advice which D'Alem-
bert gave him was, $50 on, sir, go
on" "That little sentence" said
Amgo. "was my best teacher i'll math-
ematicS." lie did push on steadily
until he became the greatest mathema-
tician of his day by mastering one step
at time. This is il vital point with
every boy or girl who decides to he Il
Christian. DO not dcspise the day of
small things. \ noble Christian life
looks very difficult, and it cannot be
reached at a single jump; it is just II
series of right steps, one at time.
Learning such Il Bible verse as ''SOn,
give me thy heart" is one step. Pray
Ing to Jesus Christ that he will accept
Your heart and cleanse it is another
step. Giving up bad habit is another
step. Saying "NO.n to some wicked
temptation is still another Everything
YOU do to please the Saviour helps You
forward. II was by such steady steps
that Joseph made his way up from be
ing an ill-usrd lad at Dothan, until he
became the noble, righteous ruler of
Egypt. If all Joseph's trials and
temptations had come Oh him at once
they might have crushed him but
they came one ut IL time, and God
helped him every time to conquer.
Just as certainly will he help You il
Nou ask him 10y prayer. When my
daughter begins to embTOider Il piece
of wOrsted, she does not expect to lin
ish il with one dash of the needle, but
by adding stitch to stitch for many Il
winter evening. If she drops stitch,
it makes an ugly hole in the embroid-
cry. So Christian character is made
up of great many good acts that
please Christ but even Il little sin
leaves a bad spot in the workmanship.
When YOU read i'll your Bible this
promise of God, "My grace is sufficient
for thee it means that God will give
YOU grace to take each step when you
come to it. lie can help you also to
bear hard trials bravely. The Chris
tian ut Work is not read only by healthy,
hearty lads and lasses. This copy will
go into some sick rooms where poor
Benny or Mary often asks, "Oh, how
long have got to lie here on this bed Y
To this my answer is "Only one hour
at time" For every hour the loving
Jesus will give you patience if you ask
him. He knows just what is best for

Literature for Boys.

The old fashioned stories which the
unhappy boys of the last generation
read have been succeeded 10y the man
~ and fascinating criminal. In the
old story books it was assumed that
truthtulness, honesty, and obedience
to parents were virtues, and that the
Christian religion was not wholly de
void of merit. If these views were not
directly taught III the juvenile lltera-
ture of our fathers, ut all events they
were never directly or indirectly at
tackled. Boys could learn nothing
from their story books except prepos-
ferrous platitudes nothing that was of
any practical use, OF that tended to
develop i'll them many brilliant traits.
No such complaint can be made of the
dime and halle dime novels of the Grim
inal school which are now read by all
our boys, either openly or secretly. In
these delightful stories new forms of
profanity and slang are taught in the
most effective way. The pleasures of
burglary and highway robbery, the
manliness of gambling and fighting,
and the heroism of successful lying,
are set forth i'll what is regarded by
youthful readers as glowing eloquence;
while the great truths that all parents
are tvrants. that all religious people
are hypocrites, and that disobedience
to fathers and teachers is obedience to
the nobler instincts of Juvenile nature,
are sedulously taught. Such stories as
these develop all that is manly and
lawless in our boys, and teach them
lessons that can not fail to he of i'm
meuse service to them i'll whatever
criminal career they may adopt.
There are few oldfashiOned people
who denounce the new juvenile litera-
tire in unsparing terms: but that
nearly all fathers approve of 1t is self
evident. They know that their boys
are reading novels illustrative of the
excellence of crime, but they make no
effort To suppress that sort of litera-
ture, as they certainly would do did
they disapprove of it. Nothing would
be simpler than to drive those novels
out of existence. All that it would be
necessary TO do would he to boycott"
the news-dealers who keep them for
sale. The truth evidently is that IA
theirs either do not care what their
boys read, OF that they have no fault
To find with Jack Harkaway and the
Boy Burglars. 1t cannot be that re-
spectacle gentlemen who dislike crime,
profanity, and vulgarity willfully re-
fuse To know what their boys are read
ing, OF weakly hope that by some
