Late inquest into the attain
ments of humanity leads to the
conclusion that the average boy is
little boy until he is twenty-five
years of age and still a boy until
he is twenty-eight. This is the gen
cral law, there are those who were
born out of the manhood success
sion and never destined to become
men either in this world or in the
world to come. For these there is
hope.

ting them.
