Down on the Jericho Road
[Bnrdet.e in Brooklyn Eagle.l

lbufdctte III Brooklyn Eagle.
So you have got yourself into
trouble, my son? Gone little wrong,
have you? Yes: we'll, that means you
know that you have gone clear wrong,
because there is only one kind Of
right and one kind of wrong; there
lis no mugwumpery in morals, my
boy. And you've had such hard
time getting back that it's made you
a little bitter and cynical, and you
think all the world is rather hard and
selfish and pitiless, and especially
severe on you2 Well, L wouldn't feel
that way at all il l were you. dom t
think ever did feel that way, and 1
know more about it than you do
I've been further down on the Jericho
road than you. Went down there to
let my beard grow. Great town for
toots, from way back. It's bad
country. Never heard of but one
good woman in Jericho, and she
didn't move in good society. But,
my son, it isn't society's fault that
you got into trouble. You knew
what the Jericho road was before you
went down the way. You knew there
was curse on the town. You were
safe enough in Jerusalem. why didn't
you stay there? Don't feel bitterly
towards all the world because YOU
fell among thieves and got cleaned
out. 1t is kind, good-natured, for
giving old world, if you give it a
chance to be forgiving. True, it
doesn't always look that way to a fell
low in trouble, because then the fell
low is apt to look at the wrong peo-
pie. You found on the Jericho road.
say, six or eight thievcs-that is half
q dozen professionals and the two
amateurs who passed by on the other
side--and only one good Samaritan,
and naturally it seems to you that the
leaven of good is utterly lost in that
great mass of rascaIity and hypocri-
sy; but, bless you, my son, in the
great. honest living world, in the
world that is trying to do right and
trying to lead men to better things
than Jericho excursions. IN the only
world that really loves and cares for
just such young fellows as you, in the
real world of men and women who
deal with the voting man all the more
guilty when his smarting wounds are
deepest, the one good Samaritan out
weighs aregiment of the villains who
beat you and robbed you and passed
you by on the road TO Jericho
Never mind the priest and Levite,
my son. They were going down to
Jericho, too, remember; that's the
kind of priests they were. And one
closing word, my son. Unless you
are smarter and stronger than the
thieves down Jericho way-and 1
guess maybe you are not. very few
men are-why you keep off that road.
You stay in Jerusalem. and you'll
have more money and less headache.
