very nard to discipline a boys appetite.
Nothing was accomplished apart from
resolution. Duty should be married to
resolve. 1t was a duty to keep from ov err
exertiou as we'll as from lntempera nee
and unchastiJy. A young mau who
comes from the country TO b city
is like n seed; we can't tell
how mucn Is in him until
he is developed. II success is in the man
it will come out Of him. It is a leading
question what will he be Interested in.
Ntne-tenths of the young men who come
from the country to the city COME to
their ruin. The city only gave them op-
portunity. The danger began in the
formation of their character at home.

1t is the loving and the loved woman
more than anything else that determines
the man. II she is noble she will make
him nohle; ii she is a fiend she will make
him a fiend. The pathway OF a noble
woman love is the pathway that leads
to God. Young women should endors
only the noble and the best; by SO doing
they would capture the manhood OF u
laud end hold it.
The cur flowers that adorned the altar
were sent to The sick: the potted flowers
were disfrib uted among the hospitals.
