Short Sermons for Boys.

Most boys and girls do not like
sermons, they say they are too long
for thair highnesses. Perhaps they
like these short sermons. They
will give food to think over, and
must not be read too hastily.
A Swedish boy fell out the win
dow and was badly hurt, but with
clenched lips, he kept back the cry
of pain, The King, Gustavus
Adolphus, who saw him fall,
prophesied that the boy would
make a man for an emergency
And so ne did. He became the
famous General Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers
to get their color, and painted the
white side of fathers cottage in
Tyrol with all sorts of pictures,
which the mountaineers gazed at
as wonderful. He was the great
artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little
fellow who amused himself making
drawings of his pot and brushes,
easel and stool, and said: "That
boy will beat me some day." So he
did, for he was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a
blood and thunder novel. Right in
the midst OF this he said to him
self: "Now this will never do. |
can't study so we'll after it. So
here it goesr' and he flung the
book ont into the river. He was
Fichte, the great German philoso-
pher.
Do you know what these little
sermons mean? Why, simply this,
that in boyhood and girlhood are
shown the traits for good or evil
that make the men or women good
or not.
