SAVING THE YOUNG MEN.
A Good Meeting of the Y. N. c. A
Yesterday.
Rev. DIR. John Graham Gives Sin Excel
lent Answers TO the Question. "Hov
TO Make the Most Of Life"

There was a good audience Of young
men at Hartman's Hall yesterday after
noon, TO hear the address Of Rev. John
Graham to the Y. NJ. {. A. The ad-
dress was a feryid, eloquent. manly ap-
peal to the young men IN the behalf Of
manliness and goodness. The subject
was "How Can / Make the Most Of
Life?p
The spealer first spoke Of the large
ness Of the subject, and the answers
that might be given 10 il are many.
Rain had said, with reference 10 his life
career: 81 made all there was IN the
stuff to make il out Of" No man
could do more. Tins can be achieved
by attending properly TO three things.
First, begin right; second, keep right,
third, al the end be able 10 look back
and say, truthfully, have done right.
There are many conflicts Of opinion
upon the minor philosophical problems
of life. For instance, the Chinese have
SAID that where there Is Will there Is
a way" and III my opinion that q
Chinese lie, for men often have the VIII
to do imposs .bilitics. But amid the
clash Of opinon. there is one thing that
may be set down as nfalibly true, VIZ.
1t is possible for any and every man TO
reach all that God intended concerning
him. To do this, there are SIX things
which would advise a young man 60
attend TO. First, bis haDts. The power
of habit j. nostmab.e. j would
have young man settle first OF
all IN life tins question. Ny
habts-are they good or bad, Godward
and Heaven ward, OF dcyIlward and
carthward Look out upon these
gently falling CRYSTALS Of snow, unim-
por,ant a. individuals. bat capable.
when aggregated Ia thc mountain pass.
10 retard the commerce of q nation.
So with habits. Ict the esi0vlv-f0rmIuc
individual habits be- what they iDay. in
their aggregate they determine ell the
future life. Cast of the bad, cultivate
the good.
Next, let there be habits of industry.
I There j. no situation that can build up
manllness in the midst of indolcnce.
