thorough preparation is demanded
for the professions, and all the ave-
nues of commerce are thronged with
applicants. 1t seems more and more
as if this question Of placing boys in
a favorable opening for life work
would become as much a matter of
forecast and serious thought with
American parents as it already is in
other countries.
No one would wish the boys en~
joyment of his present freedom to be
too much Overshadowed by the
thought of future uncertainties. But
there are some c6rtainties which he
can hardly accept too early. The
sense Of individual responsibility is
one that must grow with the growth.
If the force of moral obligation, the
sense of duty as governing daily con-
duct, is less strong in public life or in
private enterprise than formerly why
is it A? Is it not because boys are left
to form their own ideas of which is
honorable and manly, without a
faithful grounding in the true prin>
ciples of right living? A faithful,
trustworthy boy makes a reliable
man. Character is slow growth,
bat there is nothing surer than its
grains; the boy himself is the only
! security for his future.
Making { start, then, should al
ways begin now, for true wisdom
teaches to improve the present mo-
ment. 1t is always worth while to
give our very best work to the thing
that has to be done; this is accepting
reality, and it is the only way to con-
vert the best possible into the best
actual. Circumstances prove plant
when the germ is strong enough 10
force its way; it is the kernel that
shapes the shell. So a strong life
molds its own envelop. The habit
of making the most of every day
will make the youth ready to seize
the moment of opportunity when il
comes. We are not all sure of oul
own aptitudes or possibilities; very
many only find out what they can dc
by trying, but every young person
should be taught to look upon life a;
a field of labor.
"It is a world of m ediocrity," says
the wearied and disapp ointed man
Lets try to make it little bit bet
ter" is the brave reply of youth.

Cumberland Presbyterian.
Your Church-the particular con-
gregation you belong to-is your Je-
rusalem. Other Churches may be
larger, other fields more needy or
more promising; but God has placed
you where you are, and requires you
to do the work at hand. You can
make your Church a stronger citadel
of the truth by first making yourself
better, and then by helping others
near you to be better. You can help
your pastor. Surely you can this
year, if you set about it, win one re-
cruit for Christ. If every one mends
himself and helps one other person,
then the whole Church will be
amended and its strength doubled.
How great a blessing might come to
the world if all Christians could be
persuaded now to begin to work in
earnest at their home and neighbor-
hood Jerusalems!

What Makes a Boy Popular?

What makes boy popular? Man.
illness. During the war how schools
and colleges followed popular boys!
These young leaders were the manly
boys whose hearts could be trusted.
The boy who respects his mother has
leadership in him. The boy who is
careful of his sister is a knight. The
boy who will never violate his word,
and who will pledge his honor to his
own heart and change not, will have
the confidence of his fellows. The
boy who defends the weak will one
day become a hero among the strong.
The boy who will never hurt the
feelings of any one, will one day find
himself in the atmosphere of univer>
sal sympathy.
Shall 1 tell you how to become a
popular boy? / will. Be too manly
and generous and unselfish to seek to
be popular; be the soul Of honor, and
love Others better than yourself, and
people will give you their hearts and
try to make you happy. This is
what makes boy popular. Ladies'

"One day last season l was walk

sed for this fruit, l could find only a
few small and imperfect berries, but
my child ran to me once, and again

perfect fruit.
"Finally l said, Ernest, how is it
that you find all the nice berries p
"'Why, papa he replied, i get

up, and see the berries just above my

h Humble Origin Of One of the Cello
DRAFTED Cluba of rsoatop

Tho Humble Origin OF One of the Ccle-
brated Clubs of Boston.
"Were you ever in Boston and did
you ever dine at the Temple club of
that city," asked a well-known club man
OF Chicago, says the Chicago Tribune.
Then he added; Nearly eighty years
ego several merchants Of the Hub took
to dining downtown Mondays for the
reason that that day was wash-day at
home and their wives gave the order
that there would be no regular dinners
on that day there. In this way the men
became c%ronies. for they were in the
habit Of dining together al a down
town restaurant. They looked for Mon
day TO come with the interest OF BOYS
and they saved up their best stories for
that meeting. This was kept up for
some years, when it occurred TO them
that the town as growing, and they had
not as much time as formerly. 1t was
suggested that II the good wives could
get along better with the homework on
n day for the absence Of the husbands
they, the wives, could do much better
If the husbands took dinner downtown
every day. On this suggestion the Tenn.
pie club, n Of the Oldest in the CITY.
was founded. OF course, the member
ship has changed since its formation.
Many Of the original members have
passed away. 1t is now a club Of eighty
members, and most of them are bank.
ers. The building In which the club
rooms are fronts on the old Boston
Common. The bay-windows are large
and look out on the most fashionable
promenade Of the city. In those win.
dows every afternoon one can see a
number of the older members, every
one a banker worth from a million to
two or three millions, slipping their
brandy and soda, a great drink with
the older men Of Boston, and watching
the ladies as they pass by. The mem
bers have a peculiar reverence for Mon
day. That is the day on which they in.
vite their guests to dine with them. On
that day the dinner is served TO the
members without card. 1t is a home
dinner, and the writer's card is dis
pensed with for the reason that II is
the intention to make the dinner free
from everything that has any semblance
Of business.
